According to Justiceinfo, Colombia Peace Tribunal’s decision “to focus on armed actors and veer from its previous approach centered on symbolic crimes, is bringing a flurry of criticism from victims who feel that such a broad strategy might not capture their plights.” https://www.justiceinfo.net/en/88737-first-rift-between-colombia-peace-tribunal-victims.html

More than 50 former Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) members face the Peace Tribunal on June 21st, 22nd  and 23rd to acknowledge and give details on the more than 3,000 kidnappings committed during the civil war in Colombia.

Former Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) leaders, including Rodrigo Londoño Echeverry ‘Timochenko’, will face the tribunal and some of their victims in presence of a public audience.
