Colombia, un país condenado a lo que parece ser eternidad de la violencia, ¿Qué hay más allá de la firma de un acuerdo de paz?

Abstract

Colombia's long armed confrontation has left a marked influence on the country's trajectory, highlighted by decades of violence, forced displacement, human rights violations and drug trafficking. Despite the signing of a peace agreement between the Colombian government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) in 2016, Colombia still faces significant challenges in overcoming the consequences of the conflict and moving towards a stable and sustainable the signing of the peace agreement, Colombia faces a number of obstacles that complicate peacebuilding. These challenges include the effective implementation of the peace agreements, the reintegration of ex-combatants into society, the fight against other illegal armed groups, and the persistence of violence in certain regions of the country. In addition, factors such as socioeconomic inequality, corruption, lack of access to basic services and the absence of the state in some rural areas contribute to the fragility of the peace process. The recent spate of violence against social leaders, human rights defenders and ex-combatants also raises serious concerns about the security and stability of the country. To achieve lasting peace, it is essential to address these challenges in a comprehensive and cooperative manner, with the active participation of a wide range of actors in Colombian society. This includes the government, civil society, affected communities and the international community. Continued efforts are required to foster reconciliation, strengthen democratic institutions, foster inclusive economic development, and ensure the protection of human rights, all in order to build a more prosperous and peaceful future for Colombia.
