Abstract
This paper examines the recognition of categories of immaterial damage for internally displaced persons (IDPs) by the Colombian Council of State between 2000 and 2011. For that purpose, I chose four emblematic cases to analyse the mentioned damage. The first part draws on the main elements of the definition of state responsibility in relation to forced displacement in Colombia, followed by a second part that develops the actual immaterial damage recognised for IDPs in the four rulings. The third part is related to the recognition of collective damage in the Colombian legal system. I conclude with an argument in favour of the need to consider the collective damage within the immaterial damage to be recognised by the Council of State.
