FERNANDO-SUAREZ, Andrés. A Truth with Many Questions: Uneasy Questions about the Official Figures on the Armed Conflict in Colombia. Ágora U.S.B. [online]. 2021, vol.21, n.2, pp.520-538.  Epub 10-Jun-2021. ISSN 1657-8031.  https://doi.org/10.21500/16578031.5876.

Figures are often cloaked in a mantle of veracity and forcefulness, which few people replicate because they are thought to be a reflection of reality and the data are mere aggregations of verifiable facts. This article asks uncomfortable questions of four official figures of the armed conflict, and it reveals their implications for struggles for truth. Its emphasis is on how contexts, mediators, and methodological decisions interfere with the production of data and how the presentation of these data constrains the public debate over responsibilities and victims of the armed conflict.
