Colombian Conflict (1964 - )
The Colombian conflict is really a set of conflicts and the peace agreements reflect both different processes relating to different conflict groups and dyads, and processes taking place at different times in a complex peace process history. The Colombian civil war has its roots in the late 1940s and the violent infighting between liberal and the conservative factions. Emerging from the liberal tradition with a thorough grounding in nationalist communist ideology, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia—People's Army (FARC) began its armed insurrection against the Colombian government in 1964. Other left-wing guerrillas emerged as well, most notably the socialist/populist M-19, which would later be integrated into the formal political system in the peace process of 1990s; the National Liberation Army (ELN), which has strong roots in liberation theology, and the Maoist Ejército Popular de Liberación (EPL) (also part of the 1990 process, less successfully). Several stages of peace processes were undertaken by the various sides, which were further complicated by the emergence of right-wing paramilitary ‘self-defence’ forces. The peace agreement between the Colombian government under President Uribe and the main alliance of the paramilitary groups, the United Self-Defence Forces of Colombia (AUC), concluded in 2005 and is still heavily disputed as several remnants are still active, but now subsumed under the heading ‘Bacrim’ (Bandas criminales). In addition, FARC and ELN maintain a military presence, but both demonstrate a strong interest in completing successful peace negotiations with the government, with the most recent agreements being between FARC and the Government.

PEACE DIALOGUES TABLE BETWEEN THE NATIONAL GOVERNMENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF COLOMBIA AND THE CENTRAL GENERAL STAFF OF THE FARC-EP.

AGREEMENT III

AGREEMENT ON THE BASIC GUIDELINES FOR THE ELABORATION OF THE DIALOGUE AND PEACEBUILDING AGENDA

The delegations to the Peace Dialogue Table agree on a set of guidelines that will serve as the basis for the elaboration of the Peace Dialogue Agenda and the peace building process:

The parties contemplate a process of real and effective participation of the communities and society, which will be present in the construction of the peace agenda and as a topic of the agenda of national and territorial transformations.

The parties consider that the dialogue addresses national dimensions with local focus.

The parties will emphasise the territorialisation of the peacebuilding process, in a decentralised manner, without neglecting the transformations required at the national level.

The parties envisage a dialogue that includes elements of a social, economic, political, environmental, cultural, administrative and legal nature.

The parties recognise and will take into account the different approaches to population differences, ethnic, cultural, peasant, gender and generational.

The parties will work in search of immediately applicable agreements in which commitments are manifested with the participation of the communities.

The parties will present to the country a set of issues for the construction of a medium- and long-term agenda of substantive changes that may involve regulatory, institutional and budgetary adjustments.

The Peace Dialogues Table presents the following framework issues to take into account and facilitate a broad process of discussion with society:

Land, territory, environment, security, education, dispossession, sustainable development, local power, governance models, victims of the social and armed conflict, economies considered illicit today, ethnic and peasant territorialities, guarantees for the parties during and after the agreement, among others.
