Determinación del derecho a la verdad: Caso el canal del Dique

Abstract

It is of interest to many political, economic and population sectors to unravel the threads of a reality experienced by our country, such as the paramilitary violence against entire populations, who, under a state of defenselessness and unprotected by the state authorities, succumbed under all the atrocities of this same violence. Today we want to know the truth of these macabre episodes of our history, to know how many inhabitants were murdered and disappeared. What was actually the number of victims. Enormous efforts are made to determine it, to know the truth that only the actors that generate violence kept. The area that concerns us is the area of the Canal del Dique, which extends through the departments of Atlántico, Bolívar, and Sucre. How many murders, rapes, disappearances emerged in this area?. The victims today claim to know the truth from their executioners, in addition to demanding the government full reparation for the victims while demanding the non-repetition of this cruel barbarity that devastated these territories. There is a commitment on the part of the Colombian State to bring to a successful conclusion the objectives of knowing the truth, reparation for the victims and the firm state promise of non-repetition. However, the victims do not seem to agree with and are satisfied with the implementation and application of policies to achieve these ends of favoring and clarifying the truth and its comprehensive reparation towards the affected communities before, during and at the end of the conflict.
