Abstract

The constitutional State is based on rules that set limits on the use of force to achieve its essential objective, peace. In 2016, Colombia signed a peace agreement, which was granted constitutional status by the Constitutional Court. However, Colombia's first post-agreement government has been unable to reverse the country's endemic violence and has failed in its duty to protect the right to life of its citizens. This government, which fails to understand its responsibilities, has created a relationship with necropolitics, selectively allowing its population to die by using war, the enemy, and terror as justification for this exception.
