DOI: https://doi.org/Justice in equity is configured as an alternative dispute resolution mechanism that allows communities to manage their differences through dialogue and mutual recognition. However, in Colombia, equity conciliators have received poor training in human rights education (HRE), which limits their ability to address community issues from a social justice and rights-guaranteeing approach. This study analyzes the relationship between human rights education and conciliation in equity, in order to demonstrate the need to articulate both areas to strengthen the administration of community justice. Using a qualitative and documentary methodology, regulatory frameworks, public policies, and previous research on the human rights training of equity conciliators in Colombia were reviewed. The results suggest that the absence of training in HRE not only affects the legitimacy of justice in equity, but also perpetuates discriminatory practices and limits access to justice mechanisms for vulnerable populations. It is concluded that it is essential to integrate human rights education into the training programs of conciliators in equity, in order to guarantee inclusive and effective community justice.
