This event is part of a CAPAZ 2020 – 2021 research project entitled: “Mass violence against indigenous peoples in Cauca: between genocide and crimes against humanity” by professors Gustavo Emilio Cote Bargo and Lorena Cecilia Vega Dueñas of Universidad Javeriana, Stefanie Bock of the University of Marburg, and Aldemar Bolaños of the Regional Indigenous Council of Cauca, CRIC.

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.

Professors Gustavo Emilio Cote Barco and Lorena Cecilia Vega Dueñas wrote a CAPAZ Policy Brief on this subject, entitled “The crime of genocide and the ethnic approach in the Special Jurisdiction for Peace (JEP): reflections for legal qualification in cases of violence against indigenous peoples” which can be downloaded  here (.pdf in Spanish).
