After
the holocaust of the Palace of Justice in which the Supreme Court was
sacrificed and the government completely ignored the International Humanitarian
Law rules by paying deaf ears to the petition of the Committee to stop
the assault on the palace by the army made by the president of the IHL
and member of the committee Alfonso Reyes Echandia, the government went
back in the search for the political solutions and chose repressive
measures in response to popular demands. This aggravated the violence,
since then generalized to a dirty war and revealed in the increase in
murders, massacres, disappearances, and paramilitary groups, in which
the right to life is almost non-existent and democracy is a simple formality.
