Abstract

Authentic democracies are born from the own guarantee that the state provides citizens with equal conditions in joint decisions, a clear example of this is embodied in the 1991 Constitution in its article 1 which states that Colombia is a democratic and participatory republic. This document analyzes the implementation of the mechanisms of participation in title eight (8) of law 1448 of 2011, called effective participation of victims, in the municipality of Caloto (Cauca) during the period 2012-2015. The research had as a reference interviews with key actors in the territory and documentary revision, through the investigative modality, with primary and secondary sources. A legal, theoretical and historical framework was worked out from the international level to the local level, highlighting the mechanisms of participation that the law recognizes the victims, their implementation and impact read from the voices of different institutional and community actors and the Balance of the same. The focus is on the table of victim participation, the transitional justice committee and its role in the territory. Finally, the incidence of these tables in the design and implementation of the territorial action plans is analyzed. It is concluded that it is necessary to generate instruments of evaluation from the communities to the participatory implementation of the law, where the control entities retake these instruments as valid and legitimate generating effective sanctions.
