MACANA, Marco Antonio  y  VALDIVIESO, Andrés Mauricio. The Role of Germany in the Framework of the Bilateral Cooperation on Justice and Peace Process in Colombia. Pap.polit. [online]. 2014, vol.19, n.1, pp.149-178. ISSN 0122-4409.

This paper examines the role of Germany as a key player in the regional cooperation framework for the implementation of the Justice and Peace Law and, in general, on the peace process in Colombia. Therefore, it starts with the description of the guiding principles of German foreign policy. Also, an outline of the main cooperation programs that have been created and implemented in Colombia from transition experiences of Nazi and Communist dictatorships towards peace and democracy is made. Finally, it concludes that Germany, according to its foreign policy, encourages a negotiated solution to the armed conflict and in that sense has been consolidating cooperation projects and support for Colombia, which have become transcendental tools not only for the implementation of the Justice and Peace Law, but also to build a lasting peace scenario.

Palabras clave : transitional justice; cooperation; armed conflict; peace.
