Justice and Peace Law

The Justice and Peace Law, enacted in Colombia, aims to address the consequences of the country’s long-standing armed conflict. It seeks to promote truth, justice, and reparations for victims while encouraging peace by allowing demobilized combatants to reintegrate into society. This law establishes a framework for investigating severe human rights violations and provides mechanisms for accountability, balancing the need for justice with the goal of fostering reconciliation and rebuilding communities. Essentially, it strives to create a more peaceful society while acknowledging and addressing past injustices.
