Caracterización y marco evolutivo de la Ley 70 de 1993 y demás normas conexas en el marco del reconocimiento de los derechos de comunidades negras, afrocolombianas, raizales y palenqueras en Colombia: balances y perspectivas (1993 – 2021)

Abstract

This document analyzes the evolutionary context and the specific legislative framework arising from Ley 70 of 1993, also known as the Ley de Negritudes. A documentary analysis methodology with both systematic and historical hermeneutical focus is employed to provide an in-depth analysis that goes beyond the legal framework. This analysis explores the dynamics between legal realities and the sociocultural realities of Black, Afro-Colombian, Raizal, and Palenquero communities in Colombia. The study's findings have significant implications for human rights, sociology, and public policy, fostering an interdisciplinary dialogue crucial for addressing the multifaceted issues of discrimination, inclusion, and social justice. While acknowledging the limitations inherent to documentary and legal analysis, the study suggests that incorporating a stronger historical emphasis alongside the systematic approach could lead to a deeper understanding of the regulatory framework and its evolution within the context of Ley 70. Ultimately, the importance of continued research on these themes is highlighted, paving the way for more effective policies and a more equitable society.
