The armed conflict in Colombia has left enormous consequences, some of which that are just now beginning to materialize. The participation of civilians, public servants and private companies in the armed conflict brings about a need to handle the institutional mechanisms created to provide truth and reconciliation, which increase litigation in cases that seemed to be a thing of the past. This is why it is required that special and strategic management be given to active and potential truth investigations, in order to provide the best advice to our clients.
Our partners and associates attend to criminal processes before ordinary justice (Attorney General's Office) and also before transitional justice (Justice and Peace and Special Jurisdiction for Peace) of those responsible for international crimes and violations of Human Rights and violations of International Humanitarian Law.
In this specialty, we focus on:
The attention to cases and proceedings before international bodies for the protection of Human Rights, both in the Universal System (UN), as well as in the Regional System (Commission and the inter-American Court of Human Rights).
Advice on situations and cases of jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court (expertise on the situation in Colombia before that high Court).
The attention of situations relating to compliance with international standards on the response of States in respect of the use of force.
The advisory bodies of police and justice institutions in the incorporation of international standards for compliance and, if that is the case, institutional transformation.
Advice to States, international organisations and institutions on the incorporation of approaches to Human Rights and Gender in Peace Agreements to subscribe or subscribe with organized armed groups outside the law.
