Ejecuciones Extrajudiciales En Colombia.
(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2022) Cruz Sánchez, Michelle; Giraldo Ángel, Laura Andrea (Asesor)
Several historians place the beginning of the conflict in Colombia in 1946, creating a climate of violence that allowed guerrilla groups such as the FARC and the ELN to emerge in 1964, during "La Violencia" (The Violence). Paramilitaries and drug traffickers joined the conflict. One of the most serious situations was the "False Positives," the murder of thousands of innocent civilians (the JEP reported at least 6,402 between 2000 and 2008) by members of the National Army to simulate combat results. Although many military personnel have acknowledged their participation in these extrajudicial killings, the military institution has not, suggesting a system organized by the state.
