The 2016 Final Accord between the Colombian government and the Armed Revolutionary Forces of Colombia (FARC) sought to bring to an end the Western Hemisphere's longest internal armed conflict. The outcome of complex and protracted negotiations conducted in Havana, the Final Accord developed the most wide-ranging and complex experiment in transitional justice ever attempted. The Final Accord included comprehensive proposals for land reform, the eradication of illegal drug production, wide-ranging programming for reparations and support for victims, a Special Jurisdiction for Peace to bring alternative forms of legal justice to high-level perpetrators, among many other innovations.

Even supporters of the Final Accord's holistic approach predicted an uphill struggle to implement the full range of its many different components. Opinions vary on how to assess gains and losses over the past four years. One thing however is clear: the killing has not stopped. Hundreds of people - in particular local human rights activists, members of Indigenous communities, and former FARC members - have been murdered.

In this webinar, four distinguished experts on the Final Accord and transitional justice in Colombia help us understand the causes of ongoing atrocity violence in the country, and help identify possible ways forward. How has the structure and implementation of the Final Accord's comprehensive approach contributed to atrocity prevention in Colombia? What prospects does transitional justice in Colombia have for preventing atrocity crimes?
