At the beginning of the legal research that we decided to undertake, we posed as a problem question: What has been the normative and jurisprudential development of the responsibility of the State for unjust deprivation of liberty in Colombia? In order to answer this question, a qualitative research was carried out, which was geographically limited to the study of the legal and jurisprudential system at the national level, first identifying the international treaties and conventions adopted by Colombia on the subject of unjust deprivation of liberty, This was followed by a study of the norms that regulate the responsibility of the State for unjust deprivation of liberty, and finally the analysis of the unification sentences issued by the Council of State in relation to the processes of responsibility of the State for unjust deprivation of liberty.
