Summary
In 2019, the Special Jurisdiction for Peace (Jurisdicción Especial para la Paz) in Colombia recognized the Katsa Su – Awá territory and the 32 indigenous councils (cabildos), associated and represented by the UNIDAD INDÍGENA DEL PUEBLO AWÁ – ASOCIACIÓN DE AUTORIDADES TRADICIONALES INDÍGENALES AWÁ – UNIPA, as victims because they are collective subjects of law. This recognition implies the recognition of the customs and practices of the people and their territory and their ontologies with respect to nature within the reconciliation process after Colombia’s internal armed conflict.
