“…This dynamic holds even where post-conflict processes are designed as highly consultative and inclusive, which lead to less meaningful transitional justice outcomes (Firchow and Selim 2022). In Colombia, for example, both the country’s national reparations program and its historic peace agreement with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia People’s Army (Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia [FARC]) have been hailed as some of the most participatory models in history, inclusive of Indigenous, Afro-Colombian, women, and victims’ groups (Ruiz-Navarro 2019; Fabra-Zamora, Molina-Ochoa, and Doubleday 2021). Yet Colombia’s implementation process has still been highly centralized, driven by institutional logics and agency competition (Cuéllar, Dixon, and Firchow 2022).…”

The Paradox of Justice: From Transitional to Everyday Justice

Transitional justice lacks a coherent framework for articulating the relationship between distributive and corrective justice. Academic debates remain largely normative, focused on whether and how transitional justice should distinguish itself from the realm of the social, economic, and cultural. Where there is a bridge between legal logics and lived realities, it generally happens through victims’ consultation, but these are often thinly designed processes, revolving around questions like “what do victims want” or failing to turn expectations into action. Taking inspiration from Sally Engle Merry’s “paradox of measurement,” in which measurements produce the realities they assess, we pose a “paradox of justice” in which victims’ lived experiences are filtered and reproduced through the technology of consultation. While important, the question of “what do victims want” ultimately oversimplifies the complexities of how injustice is experienced. Drawing on a unique dataset of everyday indicators of justice from Colombia, this article establishes a framework for articulating the experiential dimensions of post-conflict justice. Ultimately, this framework highlights that justice is a process—whether in the courtroom or in a village reckoning with a massacre—and that the kinds of relationships that justice institutions build with victims are of equal relevance to what these institutions ultimately deliver.

“…This study argues that there were several variables at play. For example, the failure of successive right‐wing governments to deliver the benefits of peace after signing the demobilisation accords with the main guerrilla group Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia — Ejército del Pueblo (FARC‐EP, The Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia — People's Army), in 2016 (Fabra‐Zamora et al, 2021; Tellez, 2019). Structural and pressing issues also remained unresolved, including corruption scandals and the contested response to the COVID‐19 pandemic and its effects on the economy (Chaguay et al, 2020; Mora, 2021).…”

This article examines how the Venezuelan diaspora has been portrayed in the media during the Colombian presidential election of 2022 and how it has influenced voters' preferences there. It examines presidential debates and conversations on X (formerly Twitter), as well as traditional legacy media and digital natives' media material. The authors used a population‐based sample of 17,372 articles on the 2022 elections to analyse data from a stratified sample. Our findings point to a potential socio‐political turning point away from the social imaginary that had been equating Venezuelan realities with leftist ideologies in Colombia and other parts of Latin America.

“…A growing number of journal articles as well as ongoing research projects deal with the continuing peace process in Colombia. International politics, human rights activists and civ il society groups are also following the peace process closely (Birke Daniels & Kurtenbach 2021;Fabra-Zamora et al 2021). This can hardly come as a surprise: After all, the signing of the peace agreement between the Colombian government and the FARC-EP guerrilla organization in 2016 was truly historic.…”
