CONCILIATION STATUTE

The Conciliation Statute is a law that seeks to regulate and promote the use of conciliation as an
alternative method to resolve conflicts, both in and out of court. In Colombia, this statute is enshrined in
Law 2220 of 2022.

What is Conciliation?

Conciliation is a voluntary process in which two or more parties involved in a conflict seek to reach a
mutual agreement, with the help of an impartial third party called a conciliator. The main objective is to
find a solution that satisfies the interests of all parties and avoids the need to go to trial.

What are the Objectives of the Conciliation Statute?

Facilitate access to justice: It allows people to resolve their differences more quickly and economically
than through a judicial process.

Promote the culture of peace: It encourages dialogue, negotiation and the search for consensual
solutions.

Decongesting the courts: Reduces the workload of judges, allowing them to concentrate on more
complex cases.

Strengthening the social fabric: Contributes to building healthier and longer-lasting relationships
between people.

What Issues Can Be Reconciled?

Family conflicts (divorces, child custody, alimony)

Business disputes

Labor claims

Traffic accidents

How does the Conciliation Process Work?

Request for conciliation: One or both parties submit a request to a conciliation center.

Summons to the parties: The conciliation center summons the parties to a hearing.

Conciliation hearing: The conciliator facilitates dialogue between the parties, seeking common ground
and solution proposals.

Conciliation minutes: If an agreement is reached, a minute is drawn up that has the same value as a
court ruling.

Advantages of Conciliation

Speed: The process is usually more agile than a trial.

Flexibility: Allows parties to find creative and customized solutions.


Confidentiality: Negotiations are private.

Less expensive: Costs are generally lower than those of a trial.
