Responsabilidad del estado por las violaciones al DIH y DDHH con ocasión de los actos cometidos o por terceros: derecho comparado con el sistema interamericano y sistema europeo

Abstract

This qualitative research focuses on analyzing the scope of victims' rights in hearings for recognition of truth and responsibilities in the Special Jurisdiction for Peace (JEP) of Colombia. Following a flexible and open design, the research addresses three specific objectives: examining the active participation of victims, analyzing access to information and evaluating compliance with international human rights standards. The results reveal challenges in victim participation, highlighting the need for training programs and ongoing support. Access to information is presented as a critical concern, suggesting the review and simplification of communication processes during hearings. Despite largely complying with international standards, areas for improvement are identified, especially in the protection of victims' privacy. The recommendations focus on strengthening training programs, improving communication during hearings, providing ongoing advice, reviewing international standards, and promoting transparency. The importance of close collaboration with human rights organizations and constant monitoring is highlighted to ensure the effectiveness of the measures implemented. In conclusion, this research offers a detailed and contextualized view of the landscape of victims' rights in the JEP, providing concrete recommendations to strengthen the participation and protection of victims in the transitional justice process in Colombia.
