Diagnosis of the results obtained in the investigations of forced disappearance in the context of the armed conflict

Abstract

The forced disappearance of people, though, is not a novel subject in the
country, if it constitutes a transcendental issue due to the continuous violation
of human rights that has accompanied Colombian history. Therefore,
presenting the diagnosis of the results obtained in the investigations of
forced disappearance in the context of the armed conflict is of vital importance
in this scenario.

For the diagnosis, different studies on the matter were observed, establishing minimum guidelines in the investigation of the crime of forced disappearance, resorting to the foundation of essential sources, among them, the contributions presented by the National Center for Historical Memory and the guidelines of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, as the interpreter of the American Convention on Human Rights. It also develops, from a qualitative perspective, the elements that are supposed to be necessary in the investigation of the punishable act and the criminal, criminological, criminal political and criminological essential needs are studied for the investigation of the forced disappearance.

The paradigm on which the research is based is based on the sociocritical stance, without ignoring the component, which is normative, which configures enforced disappearance at the domestic and international levels.
