AGUILAR-GOMEZ, Danna Carolina; CRUZ-MEDINA, Jefferson José; SANCHEZ-VARGAS, Juan David y TORRES-CHAVES, Sergio Esteban. NEW WAYS OF TRANSNATIONAL RESISTANCE: THE AWA STRUGGLE, 2009-2014. Int. Law: Rev. Colomb. Derecho Int. [online]. 2016, n.29, pp.9-56. ISSN 1692-8156. https://doi.org/10.11144/Javeriana.il14-29.nfrt.
The present paper attempts to understand the process of resistance and struggle of the Colombian indigenous people Awá at the international level to confront the problems related to the Colombian internal armed conflict in the period between 2009 and 2014. In order to reach this goal, fieldwork with the Awá community in the Llorente district of San Andrés de Tumaco (Nariño Department) was indispensable, in which information gathering techniques were used as group interviews with leaders of the community, who contributed to the construction of this article. In this way, the study shows that the struggle for the defense of the Awá indigenous peoples’ rights has been mediated by the creation of transnational defense networks and the subordinate instrumentalization of international law, in a context where the political strategy of internalization of the indigenous cause has taken off.
