Abstract (English):	I Law 1448 of 201 1 - the Victims and Land Restitution Law, was created as a legal mechanism for the integral reparation by assistance to and accompaniment of populations which have been victimized in different criminal acts committed in the framework to the armed conflict in Colombia. The law contains a chapter, called "land restitution", which aims at the restitution of 6.500.000 hectares of land in its first ten years of implementation. At the moment of expiration of the original term of the force of the law, which was extended until the year 2031 by the Colombian Congress, 488.956 hectares have been restored, which represents only 7,5 % of the initial target. This clearly shows that the progress in the implementation of the law is extremely low. This is due to lack of political will from the part of the government to comply with the implementation and the aims of the law, generating difficulties and obstacles to the integral reparation of the claimants of land. Implementation of the law in order to guarantee the rights of the claimants of land is highly needed and feasible, but requires a government which pleads strongly to its compliance.

Abstract (Spanish):	ILa ley 1448 de 201 1 - Ley de Víctimas y Restitución de Tierras se creó como mecanismo legal para la reparación integral a través ae la asistencia y el acompañamiento a la población vulnerada por distintos hechos sufridos en el marco del conflicto armado. En esta se consagra un capítulo nombrado "restitución de tierras" que en un periodo inicial de 10 años contemplaba devolver 6.500.000 hectáreas. Luego de cumplir el tiempo estipulado originalmente, que fue prorrogado hasta el año 2031 por el Congreso de Colombia, solo se han restituido 488.956 hectáreas, lo que equivale al 7,5% de la meta inicial. Esto indica claramente que los avances aún son demasiado precarios; no existe voluntad política por parte de este Gobierno para implementar y cumplir con lo planteado en la ley, que genera dificultades y obstáculos para reparar de una manera integral a la población reclamante. La Ley es garantista, necesaria y viable su implementación, pero se requiere de un Gobierno que abogue decididamente por ello. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
