Discussion on the ethnic approach in The Special Jurisdiction for Peace

The research project consisted of two main parts. On the one hand, a doctrinal and jurisprudential analysis of the concept of cultural genocide and, on the other hand, a qualitative empirical investigation on the effects of the Colombian armed conflict in northern Cauca, particularly on the Nasa people.
Date and time: Friday, February 10, 2:00-4:00pm
Place: Sala de audiencias, edificio Gabriel Giraldo S.J.
