Análisis del concepto de justicia de grupos étnicos de los departamentos del Atlántico y Cesar

Abstract

The concept of justice, from a social perspective, is primarily based on the values, principles, and customs of the society where this concept is applied and developed. Therefore, this study proposes a review of the concept of justice held by some ethnic groups in the departments of the Caribbean Region: the mokaná and Zenúes in the department of Atlántico, and the Kankuamos, Wiwa, Koguis, ette Ennaka, Yukpas, Arhuacos, and Wayúu in the department of César. These concepts of justice are historically constructed and continue to be forged based on customary practices. From there comes an inclination for recognition and harmonization with the country's legal framework. Consequently, this research will be of a mixed nature; on one hand, demonstrating the recognition of cultural diversity and Kymlicka's multiculturalist theory, and on the other hand, using document review and conducting interviews to identify the concept of justice held by some ethnic groups in the Colombian Caribbean, primarily in Atlántico and César, which are the ones addressed in this article.
