Andean Group - June 2022
Introduction
Colombia took a symbolic step towards reconciliation on 26 April when, in a historic first, ten former soldiers admitted their role in the ‘false positive’ killings that took place during the country’s internal conflict. ‘False positives’ – the murder of civilians to frame them as enemy combatants and give the impression of military success – continue to blight the reputation of Colombia’s armed forces. We begin this June 2022 edition of the Latin American Regional Report: Andean Group by examining the significance of the soldiers’ confessions for Colombia’s transitional justice court (JEP).
