Summary: |
The armed conflict in Colombia, which has generated over three million internally
displaced persons, has dramatic humanitarian consequences and raises serious issues
regarding the protection of displaced peoples� rights. The underlying reasons
for the displacement often lie in the dynamics associated with territorial control
and land seizures undertaken for strategic, military or purely economic purposes.
Domestic and international legal provisions have established the victims� right
to the restitution of their homes and property as the �preferred remedy� in cases
of displacement. However, policies dealing with displacement, both those of the
Colombian government and of several international institutions, fail to take this
sufficiently into account. A comprehensive reparation policy for victims must necessarily
entail the reversion of lands, territories and goods seized in Colombia under
the pretext of the internal armed conflict. |
