JEP analyzes legal situation of former military personnel not responsible for ‘false positives’

The Special Jurisdiction for Peace created three subchambers intended to define the legal situation of those members of the Army and the National Police who were not found to be primarily responsible for the murders and disappearances presented as combat casualties by State agents (formerly known as ‘ false positives’) committed on the Caribbean Coast, Catatumbo and Casanare.

The Chamber for Definition of Legal Situations (SDSJ) of the JEP is competent to define the legal situation of these appearing parties who were members of some military units and who were not considered the most responsible by the Recognition Chamber in serious crimes that are studying the Case. 03.

These appearing parties will enter a process to define their legal situation without incurring a penalty. The SDSJ will collect and compare the necessary information to independently decide on the legal situation of these people.

Likewise, these subchambers will have the task of reviewing other cases that fall outside the temporal scope investigated by the Recognition Chamber and that have a process open in the ordinary justice system, that are part of the military units taken into account in Case 03 and that have occurred in the mentioned regions.

The above, in order to continue with the transitional process under the already determined macrocriminal practices or patterns, if it becomes necessary.

It is expected that in the future these subchambers will be able to redistribute the regions to carry out new non-sanctioning procedures for other macro cases referred by the Recognition Chamber to advance the process of defining the legal situation of those appearing who are not considered the most responsible. of war crimes and crimes against humanity investigated by the JEP.
