Abstract

ESTUPINAN SILVA, Rosmerlín. International law and victims of war crimes in Colombia. Rev. Derecho [online]. 2012, n.37, pp.131-164. ISSN 0121-8697.

The concept of victim of war crimes has been the subject of major international developments. Nevertheless, the victims of war crimes in Colombia are subjects of parallel statutes that incorporate the content of state obligations, leaving, in some cases, a national margin of appreciation that exceeds the limits imposed by international law . The verification of the circumstances and content requires a kind of applied research in comparative law from the international criminal law and criminal law in Colombia, including a review of what has been written to date on the subject and a specific case law study in the field.

Keywords : Law of victims; war crimes; international criminal law; participation; compensation; jurisdiction.
