Abstract
En Colombia, el desarrollo del concepto de maritorio ha estado estrechamente vinculado a los procesos organizativos y políticos de los Consejos Comunitarios de Comunidades Negras en el Caribe. El maritorio extiende el concepto del territorio más allá de las orillas y busca el reconocimiento estatal del derecho de uso preferencial sobre lugares que legalmente no pueden ser adjudicados como territorios colectivos en el marco de la Ley 70 de 1993. Un proyecto de ley que delimita los mares cimarrones y comunitarios como una franja de 8 millas náuticas desde la costa mar adentro en el Pacífico y Caribe no ha prosperado ante fuertes cuestionamientos sobre sus fundamentos. Sin desconocer que el reconocimiento del derecho al uso preferencial en un área delimitada puede beneficiar a diferentes comunidades, propongo avanzar en la conceptualización
de estos mares como una relación y no solo como una ubicación geográfica.
In Colombia, the development of the concept of maritorio (sea-territory) ties into the organization and political processes of Community Councils of Black People in the Caribbean Sea. Maritorio extends the territory beyond the shore and looks after the state recognition of preferential rights over the use of places that the state cannot currently grant as collective territories under Law 70 of 1993. A legal project defines maroon and community seas as a stripe of eight nautical miles from shore to offshore in the Pacific and Caribbean. This project has been challenged over its foundations. Although, I acknowledge that the geographical delimitation of an area of preferential use might benefit various communities, I propose to advance a conceptualization of maritorio as a relation and not only a geographical location.
