Rebels on verge of reaching transitional justice agreement with Colombia govt: FARC
Posted by Rose Lander on Sep 18, 2015
Amid ongoing peace talks with Colombias government, leftist guerrilla group the FARC have announced they are on the verge of agreeing to a transitional justice agreement to change their status from armed organization to political movement.
This optimistic announcement from the peace delegation of the FARC includes exciting developments from the negotiating table in Havana on the subject of transitional justice.
The Comprehensive System of Truth, Justice, Reparation and no Repetition proposed in August is on the threshold of an agreement according to the FARC.
This system will offer Colombian citizens the whole truth of the conflict, publicly recognize the responsibilities of all sides involved and give compensation for the harm caused to victims. It will also obligate the State to end impunity and put measures in place to prevent the repetition of political violence.
