Colombia: UN to release progress of Peace Agreement implementation

Bogota, Oct 8 (Prensa Latina) The United Nations Verification Mission in Colombia will release its quarterly report in this capital on compliance with the 2016 Peace Agreement, covering from June 27 to September 26.

The analysis will detail findings from the final days of former President Gustavo Petro’s government (2002–2026) and the early days of current President Abelardo de la Espriella, who, upon taking office on August 7, dismantled all peace processes initiated by the previous administration.

The report also comes amid allegations that the Special Jurisdiction for Peace, the transitional justice tribunal established after signing the Agreement, has been pushed by the government to be dissolved through “financial dismantling.”

The current draft budget for 2027 reported that the tribunal faces a cut of more than 20 percent in funding for operations and investment expenses.

The Agency for Reincorporation and Normalization (ARN), which manages the return to civilian life for those who laid down their arms, will also face a sharp budget reduction between 30 and 40 percent next year.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres’ Special Representative for Colombia, Miroslav Jenca, will present the report to the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) in New York on October 12.
