Colombian Peace Agreement

The Colombian peace agreement, signed in 2016 between the government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), aimed to end over 50 years of armed conflict. It included provisions for disarmament, political participation for former FARC members, and rural development to address underlying social issues. The agreement also focused on justice for war crimes and support for victims. While it significantly reduced violence, challenges remain in implementation and ongoing violence from other armed groups, making peace-building efforts complex. The agreement represents a key step towards stability and reconciliation in Colombia.
