The tense electoral cycle was characterized by sharp divergences over both the 2016 peace agreement, signed by then-President Juan Manuel Santos and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), and ongoing peace talks with the National Liberation Army (ELN). Despite lingering polarization, President Iván Duque has promised to forge unity over remaining implementation challenges and the future of dialogue with the ELN.
On Tuesday, December 11, the United States Institute of Peace, the Inter-American Dialogue, and the Woodrow Wilson Center held a conversation with three prominent members of the Colombian Senate’s Peace Commission. The event was held in Spanish with simultaneous English interpretation and live streaming. To follow the conversation on Twitter, follow #ColombiaPeaceForum.
