Justice for Those Who Do Not Adhere to the Peace Agreements

Abstract

After the signing of the peace agreements with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), the national government announced the beginning of the phase known as post-conflict. That is, the transition from a problematic situation to the recovery of a normalcy state. A reality that appears timidly, but with the possibility of getting lost in the tangle of the dissidents’ theses. In fact, the agreement is only a reality with a group of the rebels, because some did not agree and others, although they signed, distanced themselves through subterfuge. Thus, two alternatives appear to put an end to the conflict: peace agreements with a taste of defeat or continue with a fratricidal offensive until victory. As the agreement does not reach all of them, war arises, so it is necessary for the state, through a coherent criminal policy, to take control of the situation. That is the scope of this invitation, justice to achieve peace, including dissidents and criminal groups. The use of weapons is prohibited. The proposal is based on instruments previously tested by Colombia and other countries in similar scenarios that can help us overcome years of conflict.
