Compensation or restitution of land rights in the Colombian peacemaking process

Abstract

Land ownership is historically linked to brute power in Colombia. Thw 3.5 million internally displaced people (IPD) of today have lost about 1 million hectares of land. This paper argues restitution will be very costly, but it might be necessary to avoid impunity to prevent similar land confiscations in future.
