El perdón de las familias víctimas de desplazamiento forzado en la junta guajira, desde el punto de vista de Hannah Arendt

Abstract

Forgiveness plays a fundamental role in reconciliation processes in societies that have experienced serious human rights violations. The general objective is to understand the meaning and scope of forgiveness among families from the Guajira Junta, victims of forced displacement, in light of Hannah Arendt's philosophy. This article is justified because it is relevant, representing a critical context for examining the complexity of forgiveness, resilience, and the search for justice in scenarios of serious human rights violations. The methodology used is a historical-hermeneutic research paradigm with a qualitative approach, which seeks to understand the meaning and significance of human actions in specific historical contexts.

The application of hermeneutic analysis in this research not only seeks to understand the past but also to contribute to a dialogue on justice, memory, and reparation in the Colombian context.

These families, often organized, have demonstrated a remarkable capacity to adapt and rebuild their lives, leading then search for justice, dignity, and reparation for their territories. The sample will be intentionally selected, focusing on victim families and other relevant actors. A sample of between 8 and 10 participants will be sought. This size will allow for a sufficient variety of perspectives without compromising the depth of the qualitative analysis. The instruments and techniques used were semi-structured interviews and document analysis. Based on primary sources, we would have direct testimonies, as well as secondary sources such as historical documents, academic documents, and reports on forced displacement. The main conclusion is that forgiveness in the context of forced displacement in La Junta is a complex and challenging ethical and political horizon. While it is not a magic bullet or a moral obligation, forgiveness can be a powerful tool to break the cycle of violence and build
