Finding Peace in Colombia

By Nelson Rinc�n, Diego Palacios, Katerina Siira

The historic 2016 Peace Agreement between the Colombian government and the FARC-EP created a framework for the transformation of the country after more than 50 years of armed internal conflict; the transition to a more peaceful Colombia is, in part, to be catalyzed by the Comprehensive System for Truth, Justice, Reparation, and No Repetition. Two years on, a collaboration between master's students from the Center for Global Affairs at New York University's School of Professional Studies and researchers from RESURPAZ of the Escuela Superior de Administraci6n Publica's soughtto capture perceptions of peace and reparations among youth, ex-combatants of the FARC-EP and survivors of violence committed by the State and the FARC-EP in Algeciras, Huila, Colombia, a municipality highly affected by violence. Their insights offer an important reminder that the road to a more peaceful Algeciras and Colombia runs directly through the communities most affected by violence.
