The Colombian State, as an international subject of law, is responsible for ensuring the access to justice through its duty to investigate, judge and sanction everyone responsible of actions considered violations of Human Rights and of the International Humanitarian Law. In Colombia, the development of transitional models and measures intended to put an end to the armed conflict have involved different moments and interpretations around the way of balancing the aspiration of peace and the total satisfaction of justice; ranging from maximalist positions in favor of the duty of assuring full justice, to those approaches that prefer the weighting and integration of principles and values. The development of the current System of Truth, Justice, Reparation and Non-repetition (SIVJRNR, in Spanish), within the frame of the Peace Agreement with the FARC guerrilla group, provides an opportunity to consolidate and equilibrate positions with the aim of implementing a truly comprehensive model of transitional justice in our country.
