“…Constitutional Court Order 092/2008 highlights the following as the main practices of physical and cultural extermination against women in the SNSM: SV, exploitation of domestic work, conditions of vulnerability due to their membership in indigenous organizations, and discrimination. Since 2016, with the signing of the Peace Accords, paramilitary strongholds such as the Autodefensas Gaitanitas de Colombia and the Giraldo Clan, members of the ELN, and other illegal groups has been continuing to dispute the territory of the Wiwa and Arhuaco peoples (Rettberg et al, 2020).…”

This paper describes collaborative research with Wiwa and Arhuaco women concerning local reparations with an intersectional perspective on the Colombian post-conflict agreement. Our central argument is that indigenous women’s processes, experiences, and expectations of reparation reflect a wish to engage in a dialogue with the Special Jurisdiction for Peace (JEP) through its Works, Projects or Activities (TOAR) so that their perspectives on and complex conceptions of harm and reparation, as well as their relationship with social orders, bodies, and territory, can be recognized and considered in managing the risks of the revitalization of patriarchy during the post-accord period.

“…This reflects two dynamics: first, taxation contributed to smooth functioning of illicit markets, including coca production. Second, because fronts were responsible for their own finances, Colombia's geographic variation could result in regional variation in funding (Rettberg et al 2019). One front might finance itself from involvement in drugs, whereas others relied on predatory funding.…”

The Logic of Kidnapping in Civil War: Evidence from Colombia

Why do some armed groups kidnap for ransom? Despite a dramatic spike in kidnappings by political groups over the last several decades, there are scant existing explanations for why groups use this tool of coercion. Leveraging evidence from extensive interviews with former combatants from Colombia’s civil war, including the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) and National Liberation Army (ELN), as well as military and security personnel, I show that ransom kidnapping is used to enforce groups’ protection rackets, their main source of funding. Kidnapping is both the most lucrative way to punish tax evasion and an effective means of deterring future shirking. Thus, groups that tax local populations are more likely to kidnap; groups relying on external or voluntary forms of funding are less likely to take hostages. This article explains when we should see kidnapping in armed conflict, describing an underexplored way that selective violence bolsters insurgency.
