Post-conflict and peace-building
mediation as an alternative solution in the Catatumbo region
Keywords:
Conflict, Post-Conflict, culture of peace, MediationAbstract
Colombia is a country that has been characterized in its history, by issues such as socio-political
violence and armed conflict, only formally recognized until 2010. In order to avoid committing the
errors of the past and to seek the restoration of rights and guarantees between the parties, a peace
process is being developed that ends with the signing of the agreement, which has not only involved the
political brio of the institutions but also the commitment and co-responsibility of all sectors of society
to face the challenges of the so-called post-conflict. One of the territories or areas most affected both
directly and indirectly by acts of violence by armed actors has been the Catatumbo region, which is
located in the Norte de Santander department, which is currently facing the need to rebuild the social
fabric and direct community participation in the formulation of policies aimed at social transformation,
conflict resolution and a true culture of peace.
This article, through a conceptual theoretical analysis with a qualitative descriptive approach from
a documentary and socio-legal study of a cross-cutting nature, seeks to reflect on the need to build
peace scenarios that involve the legitimacy of state institutions, governance and local governance,
the intervention of policies and spaces for participation where reconciliation processes are assumed
by society as mechanisms for conflict resolution, essentially adjusted to the problem of peace, such as
mediation.
