Abstract

Outside military circles, little is known about operational law. However, this legal regime has grown dramatically in the last twenty years in Colombia. This research investigates the practice of operational law through interviews with five operators and identifies two characteristics of this field: the juridification of military operations and combat experience as a factor of legal expertise. The results evidence that the practice of operational law has developed with a leading role of military actors, as opposed to a marked civil absence. Therefore, the development of this military legal project should continue with its opening to external controls from civil governance.
