LGBTI people are victims of different types of violence, which can constitute ordinary crimes, crimes of prejudice, and crimes against humanity. The purpose of this article is to analyze the weaknesses and strengths of the regulatory framework for investigation and prosecution of violence against LGBTI people committed in the armed conflict in Colombia, according to the previous categories. It uses the dogmatic legal method with doctrinal review and documentary analysis. The study concludes that forms of violence against LGBTI persons such as murder, sexual violence, torture, displacement, and forced disappearance in the scenary of the armed conflict should be investigated and punished as crimes against humanity, even though such crime is not contemplated in domestic criminal law.

Keywords : Armed Conflict; Human Rights; International Human Rights; Crimes Against Humanity; LGBTI; Colombia.
