Abstract
[spa] Tras largas y complejas negociaciones, la Unión Europea celebró un acuerdo comercial con Colombia en 2010 que ha empezado a aplicarse provisionalmente el 1 de agosto de 2013. El artículo se centra en las relaciones entre Colombia y la Unión y analiza el impacto que dicho acuerdo pueda tener en el marco de las obligaciones de las partes de respetar los derechos humanos universalmente reconocidos, incluyendo derechos sociales y los derechos de los pueblos indígenas. De dicho análisis se deriva que la presencia de cláusulas democráticas o de derechos humanos en el Acuerdo es insuficiente, habida cuenta los antecedentes del SGP+ vigente hasta la entrada en vigor del nuevo acuerdo, mientras que algunos aspectos sustantivos del Acuerdo permiten augurar consecuencias negativas respecto de los sectores sociales más desfavorecidos en la República de Colombia.

The article focuses the relationship between the Union and Colombia and the impact that the agreement may have in the framework of the duty of the Parties to respect universal human rights, particularly social rights and the rights of indigenous peoples. As a result of our analysis, we conclude that the existence of democratic and human right clauses in the agreement is insufficient, taking into account the precedents of the current SPG+, while some material elements of the agreement allow us to foresee negative consequences in respect of the most vulnerable social sectors in the Republic of Colombia.
