Summary

Colombia is at a historic crossroads with the final approval of the second revised peace agreement between the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) and the government. While the peace process has progressed, the June 2018 election of Ivan Duque – the Democratic Center candidate seen as former president Alvaro Uribe’s hard-line protege – may generate challenges to the fragile peace. This issue – how to bring peace, justice, and reconciliation to post-conflict societies – is a central concern for the people of Colombia, for human rights activists and practitioners who want to end the culture of impunity, and for government and community leaders who need to build a society that is coming to terms with its past.
