Resumen
What the Colombian reality has shown is how, despite preserving life above all other aspects, unfortunately the abuse of power and freedoms both by some individuals and groups outside the law, has led precisely to the discussion about whether it is necessary to implement the death penalty in Colombia in order to reduce crime on the one hand, and safeguard the lives of the rest of the population, on the other. The discussion is not over yet, even less if it is taken into account that despite being a secular state, this country continues to recognize life as a gift from God, which has been best reflected in the Political Constitution of 1991. Well, the death penalty can be a relief for victims, there is no doubt that accepting it could be putting at risk not only the proclamation of fundamental rights, but of human dignity itself.
