Through measures of humanitarian aid, attention, assistance and comprehensive reparation for the victims, the purpose of the legislation is to “reclaim human dignity and allow victims to assume full citizenship” (2011, 9) by way of the implementation of juridical, administrative, social and economic mechanisms, both individual and collective, that are determined through the Victims’ Attention and Comprehensive Reparation Route foreseen by the Victims Unit (UARIV 2015b). These events included forced abandonment or dispossession of land, terrorist acts, attacks, combats, harassment, crimes against sexual integrity and freedom, forced disappearance, forced displacement, murder, kidnapping, torture, forced recruitment of children and adolescents, and damage from landmines, unexploded ordnance, and improvised explosive devices (UARIV 2015a).ģ As a response to these situations, the Colombian government created a legal framework: Law 1448 of 2011, known as the “Victims’ and Land Restitution Law” (Congreso de la República de Colombia 2011).
