During the last years there has been an important socialization process based on international human rights norms in Colombia. However, this process has not yet culminated in a full internalization of them in the country. Following the causal mechanisms proposed by the Intentional Relations literature on the promotion and transnational defense of human rights, it is analyzed how the socialization approach of international human rights norms in domestic context of Risse, Ropp and Sikkink (1999), can explain the influence of international regimes related to the rights of persons with disabilities in Colombian regulations? After examining the background of the rights of this population group, the analysis obtained showed that Colombia is in the middle of a socialization process that has progressed over the years. Although, changes in the behavior of the Colombian State have occurred, in part thanks to the efforts made by the transnational defense network, the government version established that these efforts were not so decisive for state entities to modify their actions. In this order of ideas, it was possible to determine that, although the spiral model provides a framework to assess the extent to which States can internalize the rules, this model does not include other causal mechanisms by which Colombia began to make institutional changes to guarantee the rights of persons with disabilities. In this order of ideas, after analyzing the way in which the process of socialization of international human rights norms concerning persons with disabilities in Colombia has been carried out, it was established that the “shame” actions carried out by transnational actors against government violators of norms, can also be carried out by agents within the State that is being socialized. Thus, the persuasion that is generally carried out “from outside” of the State, can also occur, but “from within” it.
