Resumen
El presente artículo muestra cómo las extremas desigualdades socioeconómicas y la criminalización de la pobreza constituyen una amenaza para la garantía de la paz en Colombia. El estudio analiza los factores que condujeron y sustentaron el auge de los llamados “falsos positivos” en Colombia1. Lo anterior, conformado por una serie de ejecuciones extrajudiciales perpetuadas hacia personas de escasos recursos económicos, especialmente a aquellos pertenecientes a sectores sociales marginales. Las víctimas de los falsos positivos fueron asesinadas por miembros de las fuerzas militares, en varios casos, en colaboración con grupos al margen de la ley, donde las personas asesinadas eran presentadas como integrantes de grupos armados ilegales dados de baja legalmente en combate. Estos delitos fueron cometidos durante el periodo comprendido entre los años 2002 y 2008, con un registro de por lo menos 3000 ejecuciones.
