Summary: The Judiciary in Colombia has been a consuetudinary victim of violence, but at the same time it has also become a violence generating factor as it is by the lack of a prompt and satisfying justice or the impossibility to accede to it. This brings as a consequence a lack of confidence in the institution and the tendency to search for other illegal solutions. In spite of the existence of a proper constitutional frame to enforce peace processes in Colombia and the formal attempts to turn to the concerted mechanisms for conflict resolution, the failure of such efforts is due to the absence of real political will of the conflict actors. This has been generating lack of credibility and hopelessness in conflict solution through these means. Nevertheless, it is crucial for the political future of Colombian society to continue with the exploration of formulas leading to an exit out of the violent circumstances we are living.
