La defensa de Nieto Loaisa ante la Corte Interamericana por el caso del Palacio de Justicia es realmente ofensiva: es un ataque a la justicia colombiana en vez de una buena representaci\u00f3n jur\u00eddica del Estado colombiano; y su escrito es una ofensa a la inteligencia, a la verdad y a las v\u00edctimas.<\/p>\n

Aclaro, para evitar suspicacias, que considero que la principal responsabilidad por los muertos del Palacio es del M-19 por su demencial ataque. Pero esa injustificable toma guerrillera no excusa las atrocidades cometidas por el Estado colombiano en la retoma y en los d\u00edas posteriores.
\nLa Corte Interamericana debe examinar la posible responsabilidad del Estado colombiano, no por la retoma como tal, sino por las desapariciones ocurridas en las horas y d\u00edas siguientes a que la Fuerza P\u00fablica tomara control del Palacio. Es un drama humano terrible pues son \u201c12 personas de las que se desconoce su paradero\u201d, como lo reconoci\u00f3 el presidente Santos en su discurso del 4 de noviembre de 2010. Son pues familias que llevan m\u00e1s de un cuarto de siglo buscando justicia y que se aclare lo que pas\u00f3 con sus seres queridos, a\u00fan desaparecidos.
\nY frente a ese doloroso drama humano y a la posible responsabilidad de Colombia, el abogado Nieto responde con un escrito que ofende por su desprecio al rigor jur\u00eddico y al dolor de esas familias.
\nEl escrito es jur\u00eddicamente precario. En nuestro blog de La Silla Vac\u00eda<\/a> examino su arrogante pobreza jur\u00eddica. Pero lo que m\u00e1s ofende es su desprecio hacia las v\u00edctimas y sus familias. A veces con mezquindades, como cuando dedica todo un punto a se\u00f1alar que una de las v\u00edctimas, el magistrado auxiliar del Consejo de Estado, Carlos Horacio Ur\u00e1n, no era \u201cmagistrado auxiliar\u201d sino \u201cabogado auxiliar\u201d, como intentando disminuir su importancia. Qu\u00e9 bajeza, pues todas las v\u00edctimas merecen nuestro respeto. Pero, adem\u00e1s, qu\u00e9 ignorancia, pues durante un per\u00edodo los magistrados auxiliares del Consejo de Estado fueron denominados… \u201cabogados auxiliares\u201d.
\nPero la mayor ofensa a los familiares y el mayor error jur\u00eddico de Nieto es que se arroga el derecho de concluir, como representante de Colombia ante la Corte Interamericana, que no hubo desapariciones, contradiciendo sentencias judiciales internas, el informe de la Comisi\u00f3n de la Verdad sobre el Palacio de Justicia y las propias declaraciones presidenciales.
\nEl escrito es esencialmente un ataque contra las condenas de la justicia colombiana por esas desapariciones. Nieto actu\u00f3 entonces como si fuera un abogado que sustenta en un proceso penal interno la apelaci\u00f3n de alg\u00fan militar condenado por esos hechos. Pero su labor era otra: representar al Estado colombiano ante un tribunal internacional de derechos humanos. Nieto se confundi\u00f3 de funci\u00f3n y repiti\u00f3 el mismo error estrat\u00e9gico que utiliz\u00f3 en el caso Santo Domingo: atacar a la justicia colombiana en vez de representar al Estado colombiano, con lo cual logr\u00f3 un triple efecto negativo: ocultar la verdad, insultar a las v\u00edctimas y asegurar la condena internacional de Colombia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
