ABSTRACT In the field of business and human rights, it is recognised that some of the worst human rights violations related to business actors occur in conflict-affected countries. Yet, little research adresses the potential of domestic transitional justice instruments to provide victims with access to remedy. This article seeks to better understand the functioning of such instruments by presenting a case study of the land restitution mechanism in Colombia. This mechanism constitutes a far-reaching remedy framework for cases of land dispossession, in which business actors appropriated the land of forcibly displaced persons, including extensive legal assistance measures, shifts and reductions in the burden of proof and a binding due diligence obligation for investors. However, its implementation has been rather weak. Drawing on qualitative interviews with experts involved in land restitution proceedings against business actors, the article identifies the main obstacles to these proceedings and develops recommendations on how to improve transitional justice instruments so as to redress victims of business-related human rights violations in post-conflict settings.

哥伦比亚从武装冲突过渡中的商业行为者和土地归还

摘要 在商业和人权领域，人们认识到一些与商业行为者有关的最严重的侵犯人权行为发生在受冲突影响的国家。然而，很少有研究涉及国内过渡时期司法文书为受害者提供补救的潜力。本文旨在通过介绍哥伦比亚土地归还机制的案例研究，更好地了解此类工具的运作。该机制构成了针对土地征用案件的影响深远的补救框架，其中商业行为者侵占了被迫流离失所者的土地，包括广泛的法律援助措施、举证责任的转移和减轻以及对投资者具有约束力的尽职调查义务。然而，它的实施却相当薄弱。
