Human rights and labor standards in organizations, facing a post-conflict of Colombia

Abstract

From a critical hermeneutic analysis, this article aims at reclaiming the idea of human dignity as part of corporate ethics and responsibility in the post-conflict and/or peace-building context in Colombia. Through the documentary review of articles, books, research reports and institutional reports, related to different national and international conflicts, the roles that public, private and third sector organizations must perform to guarantee peace-building are established. Based on that, some ethical minimums related to the respect and endorsement of human rights and labor standards are proposed.
