COLOMBIA- BIOTERRITORY LAND GRABS ...

In Colombia, the government speech development and peace has been closely linked to a security concept that implies the militarization of the territories, which is shaped by political and social recovery of the Territory, the Territorial National Consolidation Plan, Plan Law 2010-2014 National Development and also, with the current process of land restitution (Chapter III Title IV Act 1448 of 2011 Victims and Land Restitution)
.Considering the origin of the National Consolidation Plan as "an initiative designed to maintain investor confidence and advance effective social policy, by aligning the efforts of military, police and anti-narcotics efforts and in the social, justice , economic and institutional development of the state in strategic areas of the country ", we see that the main focus of consolidation is the militarization of the territories to defend the interests of investors in highly strategic regions.Therefore it is not surprising that the areas for the implementation of the refund policy, known as macrofocalización, the set the National Security Council. Within these areas, microfocalization in municipalities where the process starts Land Registry according to the government, "according to the criteria of density of dispossession and safety and return", the density is determined and Restitution Unit security conditions by the Ministry of Defence.How is restored when the state presence is reduced to the militarization of the territories? What role does the restitution process in a Ministry of Defence following the logic counterinsurgency involve civil society in the armed conflict?Military control of the territory by the security forces is the fact that in 40 of the 54 municipalities in which develops the National Territorial Consolidation has been an increase in paramilitary presence [1]. The evidence and the report on Sheep (Sucre) Early Warning System of the Ombudsman's June 25, 2012 announces that "information is known about the presence of armed men, dressed in black, in some sometimes presented as members of the Black Eagles and others as "guardians of the Tecas" (...) can not be ruled out that these expressions transiting configuring an armed group whose purpose is to prevent the application of the policy refund(land return/restitution). "This evidence of the persistence of paramilitary structures in the country, constitute a structural obstacle for victims to participate and access the refund policy announced by the Government, and a return with guarantees of non-repetition.How can the state dare to speak of land refund(return) if in the last week of January 2012, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, Terry Morel, reported that since 2007 have been killed over 1,400 displaced, and that for every two hundred complaints of harassment  the state only investigates one? [3]The refund(land return/restitution) must ensure full reparation to victims, as well as the use, enjoyment and enjoyment of the property returned, the development of the plans and projects of life of the communities, the exercise of the defense of land and territory and identifying the real beneficiaries of the dispossession.[1] "Report VII narco paramilitaries and guerrillas" INDEPAZ, February 2012.[2] "There are 1,400 complaints of land siege leaders" El Colombiano, December 7, 2012.[3] "accountable" The Spectator, January 26, 2012. Photo: http://www.accionsocial.gov.co/contenido/contenido.aspx?catID=127&conID=4229
