This dissertation addresses Colombia's 2011 "Victims' and Land Restitution Law" and the state's adoption of international legal parameters to address forced displacement. I examine how the Colombian state has codified land restitution as a human right and how persons displaced by conflict use law to reclaim land rights amidst opposition from current landowners and their political patrons. I conducted thirteen months of ethnographic fieldwork in Colombia in which I performed participant observation of land restitution proceedings and interviewed eighty people directly involved in the land restitution process (displaced land claimants, land owners, government officials, etc.). I also analyzed 117 land restitution court cases in judicial archives and used Geographic Information Systems (GIS) software to construct cartographic representations of the land restitution process. This dissertation centrally analyzes law and legal practice as conduits of creating historic memory of mass atrocity. I argue that land restitution pivots on the contested construction of an official, legally codified history of armed conflict. Empirically, this research addresses fraught contexts in which the current owners of land claimed by displaced conflict victims for restitution organize against the Victims' Law on both legal and historical grounds. Current landowners' opposition to land restitution mobilizes a counter-historical narrative that rejects the validity of land restitution as a political project. I therefore conclude that to restitute land lost due to conflict is to do more than return property-it is to contentiously arbitrate the very history of conflict. Using critical geographic methods, I show how land restitution indelibly channels competing historical conceptions of land and armed conflict, and how judicial settings fail to resolve these tensions.
