Abstract
In Colombia those who can talk about citizenship are those who the government recognizes as people with certain rights and obligations which are stated in the National Constitution, however, we must enquire about displaced people.
Even though they are named as “citizens in displaced situation”, they are people who under a legal point of view do not exist. We should analyse for one moment those who have been stripped from their land, from their families and from their lives. People who are wandering the streets or confined to a forgotten place (schools, stadiums or churches), from a legal point of view are they really citizens?
The following article invites us to reflect over the concept of citizenship for those who are displaced. It also invites us to think that these people are in a “legal limbo” state, where they have lost their rights and they have gone on to be, not a worry for the State, but a problem that has to be overcome or that has to be forgotten.
