The role of victims in the Peace Agreement

Half a century of conflict in Colombia left a devastating amount of more than 9 million victims. It is estimated that more than 260,000 people died and there are around 90,000 missing persons. Point 5 of the peace agreement developed the agreement on Victims and created the Integral System of Truth, Justice, Reparation and Non-Repetition.

The Integral System of Truth, Justice, Reparation and Non-Repetition is composed of judicial mechanisms, such as the Special Jurisdiction for Peace, and extrajudicial mechanisms, such as the Commission for the Clarification of Truth, Coexistence and Non-Repetition (TCNC) and the Special Unit for the Search for Persons Reported Missing in the context of and as a result of the armed conflict (SUSPM).
