Law 1448 of 2011, known as the Victims and Land Restitution Law, embodied the Colombian State's interest in rebuilding the social fabric fractured as a result of violence and the inability of the national government. With compensation and land restitution, the law paved the way for making reparations to the victims of a conflict that not only violated rights, but also ended many lives and cut short many dreams. The 10-year term of the law, starting from the year of its enactment, determined a period in which, in theory, a lasting peace process would take place and reparations would be made to all victims to date. Therefore, considering the implications of the usefulness of the extension of Law 1448 of 2011 with respect to land restitution will make it possible to identify the state of compliance with the spirit of the law in terms of the satisfaction of the rights of the country's ethnic and peasant communities that were and continue to be scourged by the scourge of violence.
