Colombian armed conflict, the peace process and The International Criminal Court: A study about the internationalization of the Colombian armed conflict and its pursuit of a lasting peace

Abstract

The internal armed conflict in Colombia and the current search for peace, leads us in a place where the matters that corresponded only to the states become internationalized and converge to achieve the same purpose. This document focused in analyzing the Colombian armed conflict and its international connotation, which arises from the globalization that provoke an ambivalent sovereignty in the present time. This, in order to explain how the International criminal Court and its ratification by Colombia, originates additional obligations regarding the International Criminal Court jurisdiction, this taking into account that, Colombian government is developing a transitional justice with the FARC group in order to have a lasting peace, and, that through that peace process they want to pursuit a middle ground where the illegal armed groups may be willing to lay down their arms and return to civilian life, and where Colombia also fulfill its national and international obligations.
