Investigación criminal para el sistema penal acusatorio: la genética como medio científico o método de investigación para garantizar el derecho a la víctima

Abstract

The identification of deceased and missing persons in most cases is a long and complex process, in which it is common to have little information about the possible identity of the individual and without information about the family members. This is where DNA analysis and databases can be found in an important role in this process. In 1999, a bilateral agreement was established between Colombia and the United States to strengthen peace. Within the framework of this call, Plan Colombia, the National Institute of Legal Medicine and Forensic Sciences (INMLCF) acquired the CODIS platform since 2005, whose objective was to achieve the technological system in the judicial investigation.
