Description:The murders of social leaders and human rights defenders are not isolated events, but rather respond to a systematic plan of extermination against the leaders of the populations that oppose the imposition of a latifundist, extractivist and agro-industrial economic model.  The present article, through the identification of the national group represented by human rights defenders and social leaders and of the actors that are exterminating them, unveils a study of the concept of genocide from the perspective of softlaw to argue why the murder of this population constitutes a genocide based on the doctrine of national security, which has taken different forms throughout its application in Colombia.
