RAMIREZ ZULUAGA, Luis Antonio. REVISION TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF RETURN PROGRAMS. A LOOK INTO THREE CASE STUDIES IN EASTERN ANTIOQUIA. Ágora U.S.B. [online]. 2015, vol.15, n.2, pp.447-455. ISSN 1657-8031.

This article was the product of the research "Analysis of the processes of return and relocation of the population in a situation of forced displacement in the municipalities of the sub-region of Eastern Antioquia: three case studies," registered in the Faculty of Law at Cooperative University of Colombia, Medellin campus. The case studies were carried out in the villages of El Jordán (Municipality of San Carlos), Santa Ana (Municipality of Granada), and Aquitaine (Municipality of San Francisco). The research focused on analyzing the effectiveness of the processes and policies of return, which are implemented in the places in question. To that end, the regulatory framework to be applied to these processes, as well as the protocols aimed at giving them a methodological path is taken into consideration. In the course of this research, direct information is provided by returnee communities and local administrative bodies responsible for return processes. Based on an analysis of information provided by these actors, it is concluded that the effectiveness of return programs presents several shortcomings with respect to the effective enjoyment of the rights of people who have been victims of forced displacement.

Keywords : Forced displacement; return processes; public policies; dignity; and effective enjoyment of rights.
