Theory of transitional justice and its validity in the reparation of child and adolescent victims of the armed conflict in Colombia

Abstract

The objective of this paper is to analyze the components of transitional justice from the perspective of the right to reparation for child victims of the armed conflict in Colombia. This analysis is carried out through the theoretical study of transitional justice, international standards of reparation, the Colombian legal framework and public reparation policies with a differential focus for the case of children and adolescents. In conclusion, like compensation, judicial and symbolic reparation do not generate an effective and integral reparation for the victims of this group.
