Colombia, transitional justice, storytelling, criminal law, justicia transicional, narración, derecho penalResumen
Este artículo examina cómo la Justicia Especial para la Paz (JEP) de Colombia emerge como un tribunal en el que se contestan los roles de la historia, la política y la justicia transicional. El artículo comienza situando a la JEP en un contexto histórico, social y político. Partiendo de la contextualización, se centra en cómo la JEP parece ser una extensión del conflicto de cinco décadas en Colombia en su intento de lidiar con el pasado. El documento subraya cómo castigar lo “malo” no es tarea fácil. En este contexto, el documento desafía los límites de la responsabilidad penal mediante la discusión y el análisis de la “narración” como una alternativa a la narración de la verdad en la JEP, con el fin no sólo de proporcionar matices adicionales al conflicto, sino también como una forma de, al menos teóricamente, vincular a los diferentes colectivos sociales en una sociedad posconflicto y permitir que el tribunal funcione de manera constructiva con las difíciles cuestiones sociales en el período posterior al cataclismo.
