Abstract
Dette speciale undersøger, hvordan overgangsretfærdighedens juridiske og sociale mekanismer har formet fredsopbygningen i Colombia efter den endelige fredsaftale fra 2016. Det belyser, hvordan civilsamfundsorganisationer, statslige institutioner og internationale repræsentanter navigerer i nye retlige rammer og politiske ændringer, og hvordan disse samspil påvirker beskyttelsen af ofre og børn, herunder koblinger til afvæbning, demobilisering og reintegration. Med afsæt i Colombias aktuelle politiske og sociale kontekst fokuserer studiet på mødet mellem internationale normer, nationale politikker og lokale prioriteringer og argumenterer for, at aftalen fra 2016 udgør et ideologisk fundament, der forener globale og lokale tilgange til fred. Metodisk anvendes et kvalitativt design baseret på fem semistrukturerede interviews med aktører i feltet (herunder en NGO, en international organisation, den colombianske regering og en udenlandsk repræsentant fra den danske ambassade) samt analyse af fredsaftalen. Specialet peger desuden på behov for videre forskning i børnebeskyttelse inden for overgangsretfærdighed i den nuværende sociale kontekst. Dette uddrag indeholder ikke detaljerede empiriske fund.
This thesis investigates how the legal and social mechanisms of transitional justice have shaped post-conflict peacebuilding in Colombia since the 2016 Final Peace Agreement. It examines how civil society organizations, government institutions and international representatives navigate new legal frameworks and political changes, and how these interactions affect the protection of victims and children, including links to disarmament, demobilisation and reintegration. Grounded in Colombia's contemporary political and social context, the study focuses on where international norms and national policies meet local priorities, arguing that the 2016 accord provides an ideological foundation that blends global and local approaches to peace. Methodologically, the research adopts a qualitative design based on five semi-structured interviews with actors working in the field (including an NGO, an international organization, the Colombian Government and a foreign representative from the Danish Embassy) alongside analysis of the peace agreement. The thesis also calls for further research on child protection within transitional justice under current social conditions. The excerpt does not present detailed empirical findings.
