Despite the remarkable reception it had in Colombian civil population, this party also represented an imminent threat to some sectors of the society, triggering a series of events aimed to the deterioration and destruction of this political force, generating all kinds of infringements to Human Rights leaving incalculable number of victims, up to date only prosecuted by impunity. Against this situation it is necessary to explain how the Right to truth justice and reparation for the genocide victims of the Patriotic Union in Colombia is affected, as a consequence of the responsibility of the State organisms in the country and the international uncertainty in the search for their protection.
