Abstract

El conflicto interno en Colombia, caracterizado como de baja intensidad y larga duración, ha dejado millones de víctimas civiles. Existe evidencia anecdótica que indica que las comunidades afrodescendientes de la región Pacífica que han recibido títulos colectivos han sido duramente golpeadas por la violencia. El objetivo del presente trabajo es establecer si los municipios con presencia de títulos colectivos tienen un mayor número de víctimas de violencia contra los civiles. Con este fin empleamos un método de emparejamiento (propensity score matching) que permite realizar una comparación entre municipios similares. Nuestros resultados indican que para todos los hechos victimizantes que analizamos (amenazas, delitos sexuales, desaparición forzada, homicidios, secuestros y vinculación de ninos a grupos armados ilegales) los municipios con presencia de títulos se ven más afectados en comparación con aquellos sin presencia de títulos. En términos de política pública, estos resultados sugieren que es indispensable revisar la implementación del programa de titulación colectiva, garantizar las condiciones de seguridad en estos territorios y mejorar la articulación entre las autoridades locales y nacionales con un mayor respaldo de oferta institucional que cubra las necesidades básicas de la población.
