Empec\u00e9 en serio mi vida profesional en 1989 en la CCJ, cuando era una entidad peque\u00f1a. Trabaj\u00e9 con gusto y pasi\u00f3n por cuatro a\u00f1os y aprend\u00ed mucho humana y profesionalmente. Gran parte de mi formaci\u00f3n en derechos humanos viene de esos a\u00f1os en la CCJ, que valieron m\u00e1s que el mejor doctorado. Mantengo un gran cari\u00f1o y admiraci\u00f3n por todos mis compa\u00f1eros de esa \u00e9poca, tanto los abogados todoterreno, como Federico, Alejo, Consuelo o Roberto, como nuestros jefes, que eran tambi\u00e9n todoterreno: Gustavo Gall\u00f3n, Carlos Rodr\u00edguez, Carlos Mar\u00edn, Hernando Valencia o Alberto Le\u00f3n G\u00f3mez.<br \/>\nPero m\u00e1s all\u00e1 de esas evocaciones personales, que s\u00f3lo nos interesan a algunos, la CCJ debe interesarle a toda Colombia, pues ha hecho contribuciones enormes a nuestra precaria democracia. Es imposible resumir sus aportes en una breve columna, pero quiero destacar dos.<br \/>\nPrimero, la defensa del Estado de derecho y de los derechos humanos por su valor intr\u00ednseco. La CCJ, junto con otras organizaciones, abandon\u00f3 la idea de que los derechos humanos se defend\u00edan s\u00f3lo si eran \u00fatiles a la realizaci\u00f3n de otros objetivos que eran supuestamente de mayor envergadura, y que pod\u00edan sacrificarse si se volv\u00edan un obst\u00e1culo para esos objetivos \u201csuperiores\u201d. Para algunos, en la izquierda, esa finalidad superior era la revoluci\u00f3n; para otros, en la derecha, eran la econom\u00eda de mercado o algo muy et\u00e9reo que llamaban la civilizaci\u00f3n occidental. La CCJ nunca comulg\u00f3 con esas perspectivas y siempre ha defendido, en forma radical pero razonable, el Estado de derecho y los derechos.<br \/>\nSegundo, y directamente ligado a lo anterior, la CCJ ha defendido los derechos de todos y todas y no solamente los de algunos, y por ello ha condenado los atropellos, no importa de donde vengan. Aunque muchos no lo acepten, la CCJ fue tal vez la primera organizaci\u00f3n en defender vigorosamente la aplicaci\u00f3n en Colombia del derecho internacional humanitario, pues entendi\u00f3 que de esa forma pod\u00eda valorar cr\u00edticamente tambi\u00e9n las crueldades de la guerrilla, y no s\u00f3lo aquellas del Estado. Y lo ha hecho desde sus primeros informes.<br \/>\nHe discrepado en ocasiones con la CCJ, pero nunca he dejado de admirar sus valientes y valiosas contribuciones. Si queremos una Colombia m\u00e1s justa y humana, entidades como la CCJ merecen todo el apoyo ciudadano.<br \/>\n***<br \/>\nEl debate sobre la responsabilidad frente a las infecciones intrahospitalarias es complejo, como me lo han hecho ver algunos cr\u00edticos de mi \u00faltima columna; pero la discusi\u00f3n ha estado, en cierta forma, \u201cinfectada\u201d, pues ha estado llena de equ\u00edvocos y ambig\u00fcedades. Decid\u00ed entonces dedicar nuestra entrada en el blog de La Silla Vac\u00eda para precisar mi posici\u00f3n y debatir el tema.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The CCJ is the Comission of Colombian Jurists, one of the most important and respected organization of human rights in Latin America.
