The discovery of mass graves as a result of confessions made by perpetrators and victims´ stories under Peace and Justice Act 975, enacted in 2005 allows us to tell the history of social violence in Colombia from the view of pain the collective imaginarium provides through contributions made by Dijin's [the National Police Investigation Direction] Justice and Peace Investigation Group, as a means of support for reflecting upon the construction of scenarios for reconciliation and forgiveness mainly among those communities affected by crimes against humanity
