History does not reveal causes only the succession offers of events

(Tolstoi, 1869)

With this edition, Justicia journal, as a mean of broadcasting conducted by

Law and Social Sciences programs faculty, is committed to offering a point of

view related to peace process and consequences based on the agreement

signed in Habana, Cuba, last year; this topic become relevant because in spite

of excess of written material about it, in this country, there is lack of knowledge

on the true meaning of this event.

In Guerra y Paz the author aims to show how Colombian authorities and

people mutually deceive, assuming that only good intentions evident in official

acts and decisions are necessary, in order to conduct this country’s destiny;

but it has not been in such way, those actions are just mere fraud, rush toward

nothing and without value in daily life. Not only Tolstoi (1869) but also different

authors from social sciences have suggested that the individual does not know

the role played in local, regional and national life, because its presence and

meaning has never been known; and when these kind of people are joined

and structured in a group, they gradually are falling away in the inertia which

undermine any good intention in relation with a plan or agreement.

In Colombia, per example, country of laws, people and national government

assume that just signing the peace agreement, submit the bitacora and

also following the relevant legal instruments, are enough to get the situation

gradually consolidated; in this way the post conflict has been conducted by

rare strategies that could put at risk peace agreement’s viability. And why has

this happened? Because engines of historical changes asked by the society,

have not been totally evident but just adjustment phase, and according to this

contingency the political foundation can fail.
