Abstract
The current Colombian foreign policy has been designed almost exclusively by the Government. Human rights violations; disregard for the principle of democratic ownership in international cooperation; internal armed conflict; socio-environmental problems in trade and investment issues - among others - are the internal problems that the national and international NGOs evidence and transmit, preventing Colombia to achieve the image it would have on the international scene: a post-conflict country that respects human rights, a partner with whom make social and environmental sustainable business. In the issues of regional and global agenda, civil society is making proposals that deviate from the traditional foreign policy based on the Respice polum. The foreign policy of President Santos is based on consensus building and use of international cooperation. But it seems to respond to government interests, without due regard to societal interests. The Government of Santos decided not to consult NGOs for the design and monitoring of its foreign policy, and the consequence is parallel diplomacy.This journal is registered under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License.
