The Colombian armed conflict has led to expulsions of a large number of peasants from their properties. Therefore, the Colombian State has promoted a Land Restitution Law in which a judicial procedure for that purpose is created. Such a procedure, however, suffers from insurmountable evidence difficulties that make it almost impracticable. Applying a reversal of the burden of proof is also scarcely helpful. In these cases, a global administrative and compensatory solution is far more preferable than an atomization in a huge number of uncertain judicial proceedings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

As a theoretician, Aron was, like Clausewitz, keen to understand the nature of war. He was also an attentive witness to the ways in which war changed. While his thought is not as systematic as the Prussian thinker's, it nevertheless sheds light on the contemporary strategic context in three ways. First, his approach to international relations leads to the definition of the current system as multipolar and heterogeneous. Second, his typology of war reveals that interstate war has, since 1945, all but been replaced by nuclear deterrence and guerilla warfare. Finally, his analysis of the relationship between democracy and war brings to light a tension between the principles of liberty that define western democracy domestically and the hegemonic character of their military interventions on the international scene.
