En este trabajo se estudia la visión humanitaria subyacente a la actividad pastoral del Instituto Misionero de la Consolata, una congregación católica activa en los departamentos de Caquetá y Putumayo, en Colombia. A partir de un trabajo etnográfico e histórico previo, se detallan las actividades de desarrollo y humanitarias únicas de los misioneros de la congregación, y su característico modus operandi. Lejos de estar interesados únicamente en la evangelización religiosa, los religiosos del IMC priorizaron la acción humanitaria y su función de desarrollo en la región, mediante la construcción de escuelas, el establecimiento de administraciones locales, el apoyo al desarrollo económico y la participación directa en las negociaciones de treguas, intercambios de prisioneros y devolución de cadáveres con los grupos armados. Los datos obtenidos en el marco de la investigación demuestran que el apoyo que pudieron obtener de la población y de las víctimas del conflicto se debía al abierto rechazo que los misioneros del IMC manifestaron frente a la noción de neutralidad en favor del compromiso con las personas marginadas y el apoyo de éstas.

Political legitimacy appeals to a subjective substrate that compromises the two extremes
of a relationship. From the perspective of those who must obey, it will be legitimate for
a government to access power and exercise in compliance with the requirements that
they believe they must meet to send. From the perspective of the person in charge, the
government that accesses power and what it exercises will be conceived as legitimate,
seeing what it obeys that meets the requirements to command. The elections defined the
right to access power and invariably the recognition of the cleanliness of the elections
depends on whether their results coincide with the specific policies of the individual.
There are four conditions that could be established to separate the elections
whose results are controversial from those that are not: one, the effective guarantees of
respect for the integrity of the losers and for the subsequent unhindered participation of
the contestants in political life; two, the narrowness of the difference between the result
and the requirements established to grant the victory; three, the provision of timely,
continuous, transparent and verifiable information mechanisms on the results, such as
the collection of preliminary electoral results and statistical rapid counting exercises
that anticipate the distribution of votes within known margins of precision; and four,
maintain an electoral authority that can be an arbitrator who exercises his functions
impartially, by not representing the interests of any party or being against any party.

The central objective of this collective work is to analyze the results of the 2018 presidential elections, within their historical context and at a level of disaggregation that allows us to account for the development of the electoral process at the level of the federal entities. This chapter presents the basic contents of the statistical framework on the results of the elections for the Presidency of the Republic that were
used as a general reference for the use of researchers
responsible for the analysis of each entity.
