If there any characteristic that has overshadowed our Latin American and Caribbean region in the last decades, its violence, or in a more specific way, national territories convoluted by multiple violences that trough the years, far from getting to an end they keep growing and causing damages in different population sector, specially the most vulnerable. It is mainly, an incontrollable criminal violence the result of the strategy of military confrontation from the national governments; but also institutional violence, from the State, that stands as the main detractor of the individual and collective rights of peoples and communities, ignoring their responsibility for the common well being and turning, instead, into a protector, trough militarization, of the interests of transnational companies, which makes us understand that the root of all kinds of violence, there is an economic violence, like labor exploitation, poverty growth and inequality, loss of sovereignty and careless destruction of nature.

They were, then, delivered to the organized crime and are still disappeared. All of this happened by order of the local authorities and with the consent of the army, who was witness and accomplice of this acts.
