Abstract

The purpose of the article is to understand the phenomenon of the resource curse based on Leif Wenar’s theory and the violation of human rights that it brings to vulnerable communities in Colombia. In this context, vulnerable communities are those that, due to their natural resources, are in beneficial territories for armed groups, where multinational companies have had interference and suffer because of state interests. In addition, prior consultation is analyzed as a possible political solution to the curse of the resources that communities live.
