With the implementation of mechanisms of Transitional Justice, a process of dialogue between the Colombian Government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia - FARC, is being carried out at the present time and in addition with the intention that the National Liberation Army should become integrated in this process. Consequently, once consensus on the points that are part of the agenda is reached, a major agreement will be signed that will aim to achieve peace, putting an end to a conflict that dates back more than four decades and that has been influenced by diverse factors leaving a large number of victims as a consequence. In this context, the military and police forces have played an important role in its function of maintaining national security and public safety in the field of military confrontations which the institutions have had to reorganize in order to deal with the changes in the context of the conflict described. In the aftermath of the signing of the peace agreements, it is essential to analyze the roles which each of these institutions will have to assume in order to ensure non-recurrence of the conflict and to contribute to achieving social peace, as a next step to political peace. Terefore the objective of this research is aimed at determining the role of the Armed Forces and Police within the framework of the Colombian Post-Conflict, for which a hermeneutical historical paradigm is used. Keywords: Transitional Justice, Armed Forces, military confrontation, conflict victims, post-conflict, public safety, peace agreements, social peace, political peace.
