The role of victims in the Colombian criminal process has gained importance in recent years thanks to jurisprudential and legislative advances in this regard. The truth is that the guarantee of victims' rights is a long-range career, and the search for this objective requires rigorous academic research and serious legislative and jurisprudential initiatives.
