Derechos humanos en Colombia: avances, desafíos y perspectivas en el contexto social y jurídico

Abstract

This seminar analyzed the progress and challenges faced in guaranteeing human rights in Colombia during the period 2016–2024. This research used a qualitative documentary- bibliographic methodology, compiling information that helped guide the analysis and interpretation of the framework. A review of the regulatory and institutional framework reveals the country's alignment with international treaties and the consolidation of public policies that seek to protect and promote fundamental rights. However, the persistence of the armed conflict, violence against social leaders, social inequality, and institutional weakness remain significant obstacles to the effective implementation of these rights. The study examines the differentiated impact on vulnerable populations such as indigenous communities, Afro-descendants, women, children, and the LGBTIQ+ population, highlighting the gaps between legal discourse and social reality. Finally, strategies are proposed to strengthen the protection of human rights through greater institutional coordination, a territorial approach, citizen participation, and the adoption of national and international best practices.
