The following paper aims at showing the reach and shortcomings of formalization programs as means to fulfil the objectives traced by the Asamblea Nacional Constituyente (ANC) in terms of land redistribution. For that purpose, we explain land titling operations in Colombia and describe their programs. Then, we describe the relevant debates of the ANC and present the goals traced for the State regarding land redistribution. Finally, we argue that land titling does not fulfill the mandates of the Constitution by comparing these programs with the Constitution and the results from a poll of the areas where these programs were implemented. We found that land titling programs are neither necessary nor sufficient to fulfill the Constitutional mandates.

Keywords : Land titling; agrarian law; access to land; peasant; constitutional law.
