El arbitramiento social como herramienta para construir la paz, una mirada a Barranquilla Atlántico – Colombia

Abstract

Justice is a fundamental pillar in the development and maintenance of a society, since without norms and rules that allow us to live together and respect the spaces and rights of others it would be difficult to achieve. Colombia is a country that has been suffering a series of regrettable events that have marked its history with blood and in this sense, it is necessary to indicate that several mechanisms have been attempted to access justice and reparation, however, the burden has been so great for the different judicial bodies that there is damming, based on the above, some spaces were created for minor crimes in which it is hoped to be able to reconcile with the parties, thus seeking a passive solution to these conflicts. Through Law 1563 of 2012, the figure of social arbitration was created in Colombia, with which the Alternative Dispute Resolution Mechanisms (MASC) are then implemented so that natural and legal persons can access justice in minor cases that still deserve attention. In Barranquilla there are 2 houses of justice, different conciliation sites and entities that provide these services; However, it must be taken into account that despite the strategies, they must be strengthened because the high rate of request for services shows that there is still much to do.
