Since the demobilization of the AUC and the FARC-EP, several armed actors have emerged in Colombia that have distanced themselves from the insurgency-paramilitary logic that dominated the analysis of the war in the country. However, some of these groups have also assumed political discourses that question the denomination of criminals by some political and academic sectors. This article seeks to go beyond these discussions through the politicized armed groups (GAP) category. To this end, a case study of the Gaitanista Self-Defense Forces of Colombia, the largest armed organization active in Colombia, is elaborated. The organization’s published discourses are analyzed, in order to understand its politicization process, while explaining its criminal dimension. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article seeks to explain why there is more violence against migrants and transporters in some regions than in others. We compare the criminal ecosystem (number and type of criminal actors in a territory) and state resilience (a state's capacity to take measures to combat organized crime) in the Gulf of Urabá (Colombia) and Agadez (Niger), and provide evidence from five other subregions between 2015 and 2022 using data from the Global Initiative Against Transnational Organized Crime's organized crime index. We found that violence is a resource that hierarchically organized groups have more incentive to use against migrants and transporters than smaller or poorly organized criminal groups. The hypothesis targets only violence against migrants and transporters. More work needs to be done to address other forms of organized criminal violence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article returns to the discussion on the international responsibilities of private companies based on the case of biofuel producers in relation to the rights to water and food. To this end, it analyzes the level of compliance of the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights of the 13 largest biofuel producers in Colombia. We conclude, on the one hand, that although there is evidence to consider that biofuel production negatively impacts access to water and food, most companies in Colombia have not established mitigation plans or ways to remedy these damages. On the other hand, it is the larger companies that have established political commitments and fulfilled their duty of due diligence, which seems to indicate that access to more resources produces higher levels of compliance. This suggests that the voluntary approach to international human rights regulation is the most important approach for companies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
