Peacebuilding and human security: A new viewpoint from the Colombian National Police regarding the social protest scenario. Rev. logos cienc. tecnol.

In the development of the existing conflicts encompassed in the historical development of Colombian society, the year 2020 marked a turning point for citizens and institutions as a result of social upheavals that had been occurring and that demanded responses in order to reformulate the functions of the Public Force. This article explores the historical context that gave way to this process of reflexivity and, in turn, assumes a theoretical and political position concerning the perspective of the security forces in the current process of transformation towards a culture of institutional and social peace. This is carried out by means of a qualitative methodology of a comprehensive hermeneutic nature that allows us to explore, based on the Colombian experience, the ways to contribute to the construction of a culture of peace. Thus, finally, Human Security is presented as a concept and practice that allows for the strengthening of Human Rights in the institutions and works towards their promotion and respect, generating trust between the security forces and society, and a change in the institutional and social paradigm that reconciles us as a country.

Keywords : Colombia; culture of peace; security forces; social protest; human security.
