MATIAS CAMARGO, Sergio Roberto. The Special Jurisdiction for Peace, the Statutory Law of the Administration of Justice and its vicisitudes. Rev. repub. [online]. 2019, n.27, pp.23-67. ISSN 1909-4450.  https://doi.org/10.21017/rev.repub.2019.v27.a66.

Approved the Draft Statutory Law of the Administration of Justice in the Special Jurisdiction for Peace, was submitted to the Constitutional Court for automatic control; declared constitutional, was sent to the Presidency of the Republic. President Iván Duque, challenged with six objections, sent to Congress, these were denied and the Project, sent to the Constitutional Court, ratified in its initial constitutionality. Finally, he was sanctioned by the President of the Republic, with his reiteration of the objections, as necessary, in the midst of an atmosphere of hostility from the National Government, the Attorney General, and the forces contrary to the Peace Accords, which put at risk the JEP. The existence and guarantee of the functioning of the JEP, the just and necessary implementation of the Peace Accords, the curb of the current threats to democracy and their existence, depend on the solidarity and massive support of the democratic forces that reverse the advance of the retarding forces, the authoritarianism and the neofascist currents, that under the flags of the «state of opinion», pretend to supplant the Constitutional State of law. The advances and obstacles of the JEP are analyzed in the current Colombian socio-political context. A critical and socio-legal approach is used, the historical and logical method, analysis and synthesis, primary and secondary sources and documentary analysis.

Keywords : Special Jurisdiction for Peace; Statutory Law of the Administration of Justice; Constitutional Court; Congress of the Republic; presidential objections; presidential sanction; sociopolitical context.
