AI Summary

short article 2 min

Colombia's peace process continues as former National Army soldiers confess to extrajudicial killings, known as "falsos positivos," to the victims' families. The confessions are part of the Special Jurisdiction for Peace (JEP), a justice mechanism established under the 2016 peace agreement between the Colombian state and FARC-EP rebels. Over 17,000 individuals, including former FARC-EP members and military personnel, are appearing before the JEP. The jurisdiction applies transitional and restorative justice, providing two pathways: a restorative process for those who acknowledge responsibility and contribute to reparation, and an adversarial process for those who do not. The JEP has issued indictments, delivered sentences, and waived criminal prosecution for non-most-responsible participants. This process aims to investigate, prosecute, and sanction those most responsible for serious human rights violations.
