This paper discusses some of the challenges in the implementation of Transitional Justice Institutions and mechanisms in the current peace process in Colombian. The document argues that the legal framework of Transitional Justice is shaped more by Colombian political interests, which aim to find a negotiated end to the conflict at any cost. However, this situation has made law (transitional standards), and consequently justice, serve certain individual political interests. In this way, transitional justice in Colombia is not only hindering the transition to but is also perpetuating the status quo of injustice and inequality – which in themselves are explanatory causes of the long running Colombian armed conflict.
