Abstract
For some time, the scope of criminal responsibility that falls on agents of the State in cases of serious human rights violations and international humanitarian law in the context of armed conflicts has been discussed. Faced with this problem, this article proposes an imputation method based on widely accepted modern criteria developed in depth in Colombian case law. Based on these criteria, the need to analyze the framework of powers of agents of the State and to corroborate the unique position of guarantors in society is explained. Then, the positive duties required from the position of guarantor in each specific case are examined since non-compliance will determine the criminal responsibility of the State as guarantor of citizen security for creating legally disapproved risks, for instance.
