Luis Ernesto Cortés Díaz Granados, Jaime Alfonso Cubides Cárdenas, Antonio Fajardo Rico
Colombia has fought an irregular war, including guerrilla warfare and a counterinsurgency generated by different armed groups operating within the margins of the law (Sánchez-Cabarcas, 2009). These groups have victimized the nation with violence surrounding the drug trade, forced displacement, forced disappearances and terrorism. The Colombian National Army has played a great role in this irregular war where it has won the victory by its position as a leader throughout Colombia with different actions in education and in full compliance with international provisions related to Human Rights, International Humanitarian Law and the strategic positioning of the defense sector.
