COLOMBIA: Two big steps towards peace, two to go
The hope that a bilateral ceasefire could come into effect on 16 December [SSR-15-10] was not fulfilled. However, progress was made on one of the most difficult agenda items ― the one on reparations to the victims of the conflict. Agreement on this item was reached on 13 December, as well as on the related and equally thorny issue of the Special Jurisdiction for Peace. This leaves only two agenda items pending: the one of the disarmament of the FARC, and the one on the mechanism for the signing of the final peace agreement.
