One of the main challenges facing the peace process between the Colombian
government and the farc-ep is how to secure peace while at the same time
guaranteeing the victims� rights to justice, truth and reparation. In July 2012
the Colombian Congress adopted a Legal Framework for Peace, a package
of transitional justice mechanisms designed to facilitate negotiations, prevent
impunity for the serious crimes committed by the different actors (guerrillas,
paramilitary groups and State actors) and provide guarantees to the victims.
Under the Framework, the principles of prioritisation and selection are to be
applied to the bringing of criminal proceedings, in other words, for deciding
in which situations and on the basis of which criteria some offences may be
prioritised over others and even whether the criminal investigation might
focus solely on the main perpetrators of war crimes, crimes against humanity
and genocide. This is the minimum threshold that should be demanded of
both the Colombian State (and especially the Armed Forces) and members
of the farc Secretariat.
The Legal Framework for Peace also provides for the establishment of a
Truth Commission to shed light on the extremely serious crimes committed in
Colombia and leaves in the State�s hands a number of important instruments
that allow a flexible approach to be taken with regard to the punishment of
crimes committed by the different armed actors. The granting of such benefits will be subject to those being demobilised making significant contributions
towards achieving lasting peace and securing truth and reparation for the
victims |
