- Abstract
The article focuses on two court cases that shed light on the Colombian government's role in supporting paramilitary groups, implicating the U.S. as well. It discusses a case involving the extradition of Carlos Mario Jiménez to the US, where a judge found him responsible; and second case involves the Special Jurisdiction for Peace, which examines the massacres of members of the Patriotic Union electoral coalition and revealing evidence of paramilitaries' coordination with Colombia's military.
