Documentary abstract — original language
This research analyzes how the large territory of Katsa Su , belonging to the Awá Indigenous people, was recognized as a victim of the Colombian armed conflict. This unprecedented decision invites reflection on the community's resilience, as it has endured violence, territorial disputes, and historical marginalization while preserving its worldview and cultural identity. Understanding its history, traditions, and systems of justice is essential to comprehend how the State must promote a new intercultural understanding and adopt a holistic, transcultural perspective of law and coexistence. In this context, the 2016 Peace Agreement and the creation of the Special Jurisdiction for Peace (JEP) marked a turning point. The JEP adopted an ethnic-racial, transcultural, and interjurisdictional approach that introduced a new way of reasoning, inter-logos, based on dialogue between knowledge systems. This “polyphony of logos” recognizes that multiple worldviews must coexist to build inclusive spaces for diverse voices. Consequently, the Awá worldview and territorial conception were officially acknowledged by the State, classifying their territory as a victim not only of war but also of anthropocentrism. This milestone strengthens emerging rights of nature and promotes an ecocentric form of reparation, fostering ethical and legal transformations towards coexistence and environmental justice.
