Colombia’s Truth Commission recommended radical policy changes to prevent a repetition of violence and armed conflict that left the country traumatized.
. . .
Apart from an analysis on the causes of the seemingly perpetual violence, the report also contained recommendations to different sectors of the State to guarantee peace.
These recommendations were a major blow for President Ivan Duque, who appeared to have been dedicated to plunging Colombia in a new cycle of violence, according to newspaper El Espectador, which received a draft of the recommendations.
The Truth Commission urged the military to get rid of its Cold War doctrine, which was surprisingly restored under Duque in 2020 despite being one of the main causes of the security forces’ persistent human rights violations.
