Corruption and the constant violation of human rights
Abstract
The violation of human rights is essential in conflict situations or contexts, given that State
restructuring, usually linked to internal corruption processes, is constantly linked to the
violation of fundamental rights. Based on this premise, the purpose of this document should
be emphasized. It proposes an overview of the way in which corruption establishes a
sequential structure of human rights violations. Then, it is intended to present an outline of
a historical framework of Colombian corruption, and the different ways in which this
phenomenon has been presented. Likewise, to present the internal armed conflicts of the
nation, clearly permeated by state corruption, as a sort of trigger for the current situation in
Colombia. To finally conclude with immunity from the underlying consequences of the
violation of human rights.
