The Colombia peace agreement and its implementation (WP1604)
Conflict prevention, resolution and state buildingThe peace agreement signed in late 2016 between the Colombian government and the Armed Revolutionary Forces of Colombia (FARC) ended more than 50 years of conflict, making it a hugely important development not only for Colombia itself but more widely for the field of conflict resolution. The signing of the agreement started a complex implementation process that will take many years for completion. This Podcast was recorded in Colombia with two individuals who have been deeply involved in the peace process there.
