Human Rights and New Forms of Reparation for Damage

Abstract

In this article, we analyze the way in which developments around the problem of human rights protection have influenced the Colombian legal system in torts law, especially the traditional concept of integral reparation. Given that the damages that occur in cases of serious human rights violations often transcend the sphere of the victim, affecting their environment and community, the compensation spectrum has now been expanded to include, in addition to monetary reparations, measures of restitution, satisfaction, rehabilitation, among others.
