Enfoque diferencial para la Jurisdicción Especial para la Paz (JEP)

Abstract

With the Agreement for a Stable and Lasting Peace, formed within the framework of the peace processes with the now-converted FARC political party, a discussion was fostered on the form of justice most suitable for this post-conflict national scenario; As a result, the Special Jurisdiction for Peace; JEP. The aim of this essay is to understand how the differential approach is organized in the JEP, based on a document review. The structure of the essay begins with the presentation of the origins of the JEP; then it supports how it is placed within the evolution of human rights. This is the basis for a conceptualization, which takes into account the various concretions of the approach. The previous analytical points lead to identify how it relates to the legal instruments produced under the Final Agreement and to the Agreement itself. Finally, the conclusions are presented.
