Historical Memory and Transitional Justice in Colombia

Forum Examines Key Report on Colombia’s War
In the past year of peace talks, the Colombian government and the FARC have been negotiating how to address rights of the victims to truth, justice, reparations, and guarantees of non-repetition. The parties recently created a working group on transitional justice, and have made progress on these complex issues. The next event in USIP’s Colombia Peace Forum series, on September 30, will analyze the role of historical memory in relation to these transitional justice issues. This has been one of the most difficult areas of negotiations.

Authors of Basta Ya! Colombia:  Memories of War and Dignity, produced by Colombia’s National Center for Historical Memory, will present their findings for the first time to a U.S. audience. Joined by academics and practitioners, they will examine lessons from this initiative that might contribute to the design and implementation of the national truth commission currently being crafted as part of the peace process in Havana.

The event will be co-sponsored by the Washington Office on Latin America, the International Center for Transitional Justice and the U.S. Agency for International Development. The discussions will take place in English and Spanish with simultaneous interpretation in both languages. The event will be streamed live without interpretation; webcasts will be posted later in both languages.
