The collective reparation of the community of Zipacoa: a diagnosis about the context and the effects of paramilitary violence. Rev. Derecho [online]. 2017, n.48, pp.234-262. ISSN 0121-8697.

This article aims to explain the causes and effects of paramilitary violence in the community of Zipacoa (Villanueva, Bolívar), based on the testimony of the victims and the institutional interventions carried out in the process of collective reparation. The consequences of the armed conflict in Zipacoa are analyzed, identifying the victimizing events and their articulation in the construction of reparation measures. Methodologically, the results are constructed from a qualitative approach, articulated to a holistic perspective of social research. Information gathering techniques were used to articulate the systematization of documents and the consolidation of stories by community actors. To meet these objectives, the article is divided into three parts. In the first, we analyze the theoretical assumptions of collective reparation within the framework of transitional justice and restorative justice with regard to measures of rehabilitation and satisfaction. The second part of the work describes Zipacoa as a territory affected by the armed conflict, specifically by paramilitary violence, the genesis of the rupture of the social fabric of the community. Finally, the third part analyzes the effects and their impact on the comprehensive plan for collective redress. This shows that the lack of conditions to work the land is the problem by which violence persists in the territory. The conclusions of this article show that the effects of paramilitary violence consolidate a series of affectations that historically and culturally have hit the community; Any type of measure that intends to consolidate in the territory, should not only focus on the articulation of processes that strengthen the productivity of this, but to bet on a transformation of the social fabric.
