Resumen
Con el presente artículo se pretende dar a conocer cuál es el alcance de la conciliación en materia penal en Colombia y cómo este mecanismo de resolución de conflicto sirve también como instrumento de aplicación de la justicia restaurativa dando importancia y participación a las víctimas en el sistema penal.
Para esto fue necesario revisar y estudiar la normativa que introdujo este mecanismo en nuestro ordenamiento jurídico, y así mismo algunas sentencias de la Corte Constitucional y Corte Suprema de Justicia en las que se hace referencia al tema, igualmente se estudió bibliografía relacionada y artículos que se han escrito sobre este tema.
Se tuvo como punto de partida la evolución y desarrollo de la conciliación en materia penal en Colombia, se determinarán los límites de aplicación de la conciliación en el Derecho Penal y se abordará también el procedimiento conciliatorio en materia penal para finalmente establecer que la conciliación en materia penal además de servir como mecanismo de descongestión judicial, sirve para dar por terminada la actuación penal ya sea por desistimiento o bien por reparación integral de la víctima como parte de la justicia restaurativa que propende por otorgar justicia a los afectados por las conductas de terceros o victimarios.
