SPOTLIGHT

Peace Accords Matrix, Kroc Institute, October 24, 2024
“Lasting peace in Colombia requires understanding and addressing the different and disproportionate impacts of the armed conflict on ethnic peoples and communities. A new report from the Peace Accords Matrix (PAM), […] outlines the limitations and weaknesses, as well as progress and successes, of implementing the Ethnic Approach’s commitments within the Colombian context.”

¿Plomo es lo que viene?: Balance y retos de la política de paz total 2022-2024

“La Fundación Paz y Reconciliación ha desarrollado una metodología de seguimiento basada en datos públicos, pero también en el monitoreo en terreno por parte de 6 enlaces territoriales regionales, alianzas con organizaciones de DDHH y humanitarias con el fin de monitorear por una parte las experiencias regionales de construcción de paz, el comportamiento de los actores armados, las distintas dinámicas de violencia y violaciones a los DDHH”.

UN Security Council extends monitoring of Colombia’s peace process
Adriaan Alseema, Colombia Reports, October 31, 2024
“The United Nations Security Council voted to continue monitoring the implementation of a 2016 peace deal between Colombia’s government and FARC guerrillas. The vote allows the UN verification mission to continue monitoring the peace process until October 31, 2025. Since the signing of the peace deal, the UN mission has informed the Security Council with quarterly reports on the parties’ compliance with the agreement that allowed the demobilization and disarmament of the FARC.”

PEACE PROCESS

Albert Trithart and Mariana Knaupp, IPI Global Observatory, October 24, 2024
“The Security Council has not committed to protecting the rights of LGBTIQ people in Colombia or in other conflict-affected contexts—at least not explicitly.

At This Bogotá Brewery, Former Guerillas Dish Out Craft Beer
Michael Rendón Vera, Americas Quarterly, October 22, 2024
“La Casa de La Paz is both the house of La Trocha (Spanish for ‘trail’), an artisanal beer company, and a political hub of sorts—a space for meetings and events and a social project to advance the reincorporation into civilian life of former Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) members who signed the 2016 Peace Accords, a watershed moment in the nation’s history that ended five decades of internal conflict.”

Colombia-US Relationship Hangs in the Balance, Ten Days Before Election
William Monsalve, Colombia One, October 26, 2024
“The future of bilateral relations between Colombia and the United States remains uncertain, as the upcoming U.S. election on November 5 could significantly shape the geopolitical, economic, and political trajectory of these ties, determining whether cooperation will deepen or the countries will drift apart.”

Salomon Majbub, Indepaz, 24 de octubre de 2024
