At the intersection between sociology, anthropology and law, this article analyses the various legal instruments for the protection of the natural environment in Colombia. In their application, these instruments have produced a range of conflicts, stemming from ecosystem conservation strategies, legal complexity and disregarded social realities. Based on the analysis of the situation in the Ciénaga Grande de Santa Marta, the paper argues that the interaction of the different environmental protection and conservation measures is generating a tension between guaranteeing protection for human rights, people's well-being and the ecosystems themselves.

The notion of victim has been applied in the human rights (HR) field with a series of different connotations in each country. In this paper we aim to reflect on its uses and appropriations within the context of a series of laws and government programs designed to compensate the victims of state terrorism in Argentina and of the armed conflict in Colombia. Based on the gathering of documents and fieldwork with public servants and diverse groups of people who have been identified as victims, we analyze the meanings that this category has acquired and its possible applications in heterogeneous social contexts. O conceito vítima vem sendo aplicado no campo dos direitos humanos (DH) com uma série de conotações particulares em cada país. Neste trabalho, ocupamo-nos de refletir sobre seus usos e apropriações no âmbito de um conjunto de leis e programas governamentais destinados a reparar as vítimas do terrorismo de Estado na Argentina e do conflito armado interno na Colômbia. A partir da recopilação de documentos e do trabalho de campo com servidores públicos e diversos grupos de pessoas que têm sido identificadas como vítimas, analisamos os sentidos que essa categoria e suas possíveis aplicações adquirem em contextos sociais heterogêneos.

El presente artículo argumenta que la actividad de defensa de derechos humanos llevada a cabo por las principales organizaciones no gubernamentales (ONG) en Colombia puede ser analizada como un ejercicio alternativo de accountability social, en el que se presentan relaciones de denuncia, control y limitación del abuso del poder bajo el marco de oportunidad jurídica y política que la respalda. Luego de plantear el problema en el ámbito de los dilemas de la democracia representativa y participativa, sus límites y sus alcances, se establece una relación entre el tipo de actividades de las ONG y los efectos políticos que estas generan; para demostrar dicha relación se construye una tipología de las formas de activismo, las principales redes y los distintos ámbitos de acción de las ONG de derechos humanos en Colombia.This paper argue that the activity of human rights defense of main NGOs in Colombia can be analyze as an alternative exercise of social accountability that present relations of control and limit of the abuse of power under the legal and political opportunity structure that supports it.
