CRUZ GUTIERREZ, Efraín  and  GUZMAN RINCON, Andrés Mauricio. Colombia's Land Restitution Program and Environmental Law: Tensions and Proximity on the Situation of the Farmers in Reservation Forest Zones. Territ. [online]. 2016, n.35, pp.149-170.

As any Transitional Justice mechanism, the land restitution program implemented in Colombia faces important challenges that involve principles of Constitutional Law and the International Law of Human Rights. This article reflects on the challenges that the implementation of the land restitution program will bring about, in particular, the proximity to environmental law. Our analytical framework to address this question revolves around the notion of Corrective Justice and its relationship with social and redistributive justice. Overall, the article maintains that the Colombia's land restitution has an environmental perspective.

Keywords : Land restitution program; Transitional Justice; environmental law; Corrective Justice; Post-Conflict.
