This article presents a characterization of the community agencies in the resolution of conflicts, which over one decade are in charge of dealing with conflicts in the region of the Sierra de La Macarena, Colombia. The text proposes that the local Justice in this region integrates a series of social conditions that not only be able to support the socio-political transition of the region, in case of reaching an agreement between the Colombian State and the insurgency, but it is also worth supporting it in time for the bet of peace that they represent. For this purpose, the article introduces an analytical balance of the work carried out by the Conciliation Committees from its characterization and it provides key elements to understand the logic and nature of the community justice in La Macarena.

Keywords : Legal pluralism; critical right; Colombian armed conflict; post-conflict; community justice.
