In such contexts, there is a need to address the responsibility of armed groups in repairing the harm caused to their victims, rather than solely relying on state responsibility. Yet, engaging such groups in reparative justice remains a thorny issue, not only as a question of international law but also in practice. In the following contribution, a closer look is taken at the role of armed non-state actors in the reparative justice measures established in Colombia.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>For over 50 years, Colombia has experienced one of the longest-running <a href=\"http:\/\/www.centrodememoriahistorica.gov.co\/micrositios\/informeGeneral\/descargas.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">internal armed conflicts<\/a> in the Western Hemisphere, involving governmental armed forces, the paramilitary and guerrilla groups. The high levels of violence perpetrated by the various parties have resulted in <a href=\"https:\/\/rni.unidadvictimas.gov.co\/RUV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">mass victimization<\/a>, primarily affecting the civilian population. Over the years, demobilised armed groups have been engaged in reparative justice measures in an attempt to satisfy victims\u2019 rights to truth, justice and reparation. The 2016 Havana Peace Agreement with the <em>Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia-Ej\u00e9rcito del Pueblo<\/em> (FARC-EP), Colombia\u2019s oldest and largest left-wing guerrilla group, constitutes the latest initiative in this regard.<\/p>\n<h3>The Justice and Peace Law: a first step towards reparative justice?<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cidh.org\/pdf%20files\/Colombia-Demobilization-AUC%202008.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Past peace processes<\/a> in Colombia largely neglected to take account of victims\u2019 rights, with amnesties prevailing in order to ensure peace and security. In 2005, a significant shift took place with the passing of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fiscalia.gov.co\/colombia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Ley-975-del-25-de-julio-de-2005-concordada-con-decretos-y-sentencias-de-constitucionalidad.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Law No. 975<\/a>, known as the Justice and Peace Law (JPL), which brought the process of armed groups\u2019 demobilisation, disarmament and reintegration onto the terrain of TJ. Particularly, demobilised combatants who benefit from the JPL, by virtue of demobilisation and reduced sentences for grave crimes, are required to, among others, provide reparations to the victims of the criminal act they are convicted of. Notably, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.corteconstitucional.gov.co\/relatoria\/2006\/C-370-06.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a landmark ruling of the Colombian Constitutional Court<\/a> sought to strengthen victims\u2019 rights by complementing combatants\u2019 individual responsibility for victim reparation with a collective civil responsibility on the part of the armed group and its members. Moreover, the Court recognised a subsidiary responsibility for the state to provide reparations to victims when these individuals or organisations are unable to do so. This progressive approach appears to be in line with Principles 15 and 16 of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ohchr.org\/EN\/ProfessionalInterest\/Pages\/RemedyAndReparation.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the UN Basic Principles and Guidelines<\/a> (UNBPG).<\/p>\n<p>While the JPL constitutes the first significant attempt to afford reparative justice in Colombia, it has been severely <a href=\"https:\/\/cja.org\/where-we-work\/colombia\/related-resources\/colombia-the-justice-and-peace-law\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">criticised<\/a> for prioritising demobilisation efforts over justice concerns. Moreover, after 10 years of the JPL, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.contraloria.gov.co\/resultados\/informes\/analisis-sectoriales-y-politicas-publicas\/defensa-y-seguridad-nacional\/-\/asset_publisher\/73b4yNN90r1F\/document\/id\/675999?inheritRedirect=false\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the results<\/a>\u00ad\u00ad are unsatisfactory. The demobilised combatants only contributed approx. 6% of the resources needed for the ordered compensation measures, with a significant number of them unwilling to effectively repair the victims. Pursuant to the 47 sentences issued, 195 demobilised were convicted (only 8.2% of those participating in the process). Against the backdrop of the JPL\u2019s ineffectiveness, a comprehensive administrative reparations programme and a land restitution programme were established under the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.centrodememoriahistorica.gov.co\/descargas\/ley_victimas\/ley_victimas_completa_web.pdf\">Victims\u2019 Law of 2011<\/a>. Although the latter constitutes an important effort in securing effective redress for the victims of the conflict, the programmes face significant <a href=\"en\/justice-reconciliation\/37686-feasible-justice-has-colombia-over-promised-and-under-delivered-reparations-for-its-8-6-million-vic.html\">challenges<\/a>. In 2010, the JPL process was complemented by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.unidadvictimas.gov.co\/es\/ley-1424-de-2010\/13649\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Law No. 1424<\/a>, which foresees in the engagement of low-level offenders who fall outside the scope of the JPL in a truth-seeking process in exchange for judicial benefits. However, the lack of victims\u2019 direct access to the obtained material <a href=\"https:\/\/noref.no\/Publications\/Regions\/Colombia\/Transitional-justice-for-rank-and-file-combatants-in-Colombia-insights-from-Law-no.-1424\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">weakens<\/a> the process\u2019s potential of satisfying their right to truth as a form of reparation (Principle 22(b) UNBPG).<\/p>\n<h3>The Havana Final Peace Agreement: the responsibility of the FARC-EP to satisfy victims\u2019 right to reparation<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2016\/oct\/02\/colombia-referendum-rejects-peace-deal-with-farc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Despite some glitches<\/a>, the four-year peace process between the Colombian government and the FARC-EP successfully resulted in the adoption of a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.altocomisionadoparalapaz.gov.co\/Prensa\/Paginas\/2017\/Mayo\/El-Acuerdo-de-paz-en-ingles.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Final Peace Agreement<\/a> (FPA) in 2016. The Agreement foresees in the establishment of a \u2018Comprehensive System for Truth, Justice, Reparations and Non-Recurrence\u2019, a transitional justice system that seeks to provide a comprehensive response to victims. The Comprehensive System places particular emphasis on restorative and reparative measures, while acknowledging that justice cannot be achieved only with retributive sanctions. Significantly, victim reparation is understood as a vital condition for justice. The strong commitment of both negotiating parties towards victims\u2019 rights and needs is unprecedented in comparison to past peace processes in Colombia.<\/p>\n<p>The Comprehensive System foresees numerous measures for victims\u2019 comprehensive reparation, which include, in accordance with the UNBPG, restitution, compensation, rehabilitation, satisfaction and guarantees of non-recurrence. As stipulated in the FPA, the FARC-EP will engage with these various forms of reparation. For instance, former members of the FARC-EP who have caused harm or injury during the conflict are required to make concrete contributions to reparations, which involve their participation in reparation-oriented projects as part of their reintegration process (<em>e.g<\/em>., infrastructure-rebuilding work and programmes to clear areas of anti-personnel mines). Within this framework, reparation measures are connected with the eventual reintegration of the ex-combatants as important aspects of a restorative justice process. As an organisation, the FARC-EP has committed itself to hand over an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-colombia-peace\/colombias-farc-rebels-say-assets-worth-324-million-idUSKCN1B522G\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">inventory<\/a> of all its collective assets, which will be exclusively used to provide material reparations to the victims. However, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.insightcrime.org\/news\/analysis\/the-farc-riches-list-assets-fails-reveal-total-wealth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">concerns<\/a> have been raised over possible undeclared assets and the lack of official registration of much of the listed real estate. Moreover, symbolic reparations, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/colombia2020.elespectador.com\/politica\/los-actos-de-perdon-tras-el-acuerdo-de-paz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">symbolic acts of apology<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/es.presidencia.gov.co\/noticia\/160926-En-nombre-de-las-Farc%E2%80%93EP-ofrezco-sinceramente-perdon-a-todas-las-victimas-del-conflicto-afirmo-Rodrigo-Londono-Echeverri-jefe-de-las-Farc%E2%80%93EP\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">recognition of responsibility<\/a>, have taken place in the early stages of implementation. The strengthening of land restitution measures constitutes a further example. As is the case under the JPL process, the Colombian government will take a subsidiary responsibility to contribute to the reparation of victims when former FARC-EP members do not have sufficient resources to do so, hence seeking to safeguard victims\u2019 right to redress.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"boorder: 1px solid #ccc;\"><div class=\"articleLink articleLink--editorRecommanded articleLink--textInImage articleLink--textTop\" style=\"\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"articleLinkSurTitle\">Recommended reading<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<a class=\"articleLinkImageLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.justiceinfo.net\/en\/39567-colombia-transitional-justice-mission-impossible.html\"><div class=\"articleLinkImageContainer \"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"540\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.justiceinfo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/b5dbf3501fc27a3b0cb4dfa393e8f372-540x360.jpg\" class=\"articleLinkImage backgroundImageTag w-100 wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.justiceinfo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/b5dbf3501fc27a3b0cb4dfa393e8f372-540x360.jpg 540w, https:\/\/www.justiceinfo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/b5dbf3501fc27a3b0cb4dfa393e8f372-730x487.jpg 730w, https:\/\/www.justiceinfo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/b5dbf3501fc27a3b0cb4dfa393e8f372-1110x741.jpg 1110w, https:\/\/www.justiceinfo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/b5dbf3501fc27a3b0cb4dfa393e8f372.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/div><\/a>\r\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.justiceinfo.net\/en\/39567-colombia-transitional-justice-mission-impossible.html\" class=\"articleLinkTitle articleLinkTitle--default\">\r\n\t\t\tColombia\u2019s transitional justice: Mission impossible?\r\n\t\t<\/a>\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Aside from these specific reparation measures, the Comprehensive System provides for the FARC-EP\u2019s engagement with the other transitional justice mechanisms, which incorporate on their turn reparative justice components. Particularly, the Truth Commission and the Unit for the Search of the Disappeared will contribute to victim reparation by virtue of the public disclosure of the truth and will benefit from the <a href=\"https:\/\/colombiareports.com\/farc-former-paramilitary-arch-enemies-agree-jointly-cooperate-colombias-truth-commission\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">participation of former FARC-EP members<\/a>. Furthermore, those wanting to enjoy the special treatment granted under the Special Jurisdiction for Peace (SJP), the justice component of the transitional justice system, will need to provide full truth, reparations and guarantees of non-recurrence. The same holds for ex-combatants benefitting from amnesties or pardons for political crimes. Such special treatment, the so-called \u2018alternative sanctions\u2019, is granted when the offender acknowledges full truth and responsibility in the early stages of the criminal proceedings and involves reduced sentence and effective restrictions of freedoms and rights, rather than ordinary prison sentences. In this case, the imposed sanctions will be of a predominately restorative and reparative nature. This more lenient approach to justice has, however, led to significant <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrw.org\/news\/2015\/09\/28\/colombia-dealing-away-justice\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">criticism<\/a>, among others by the newly elected <a href=\"http:\/\/lasillavacia.com\/podria-duque-modificar-el-acuerdo-de-paz-66216\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">President Iv\u00e1n Duque<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Notably, the envisaged Comprehensive System moves beyond an individualised accountability framework by engaging the FARC-EP in reparative justice measures not only by virtue of its individual members but also as a collective entity. Certain reparation measures place a clear emphasis on the FARC-EP\u2019s collective responsibility towards their victims, such as the envisaged symbolic reparations. The FARC-EP\u2019s responsibility to provide victim reparation is based on international legal standards. Particularly, it is recognised that the FARC-EP, as an armed group, can violate international human rights law, resulting in a duty to repair the harm caused. This is a progressive approach in light of the lack of clear secondary obligations on the part of non-state armed groups under international law. Moreover, although the FPA is not the first peace agreement to involve considerations for armed groups\u2019 remedial responsibility (<em>e.g.<\/em>, <a href=\"https:\/\/peacemaker.un.org\/sites\/peacemaker.un.org\/files\/UG_070629_AgreementonAccountabilityReconcilition.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the Juba Peace Agreement on Accountability and Reconciliation<\/a>), the degree of FARC-EP\u2019s engagement in the design and the implementation of the Agreement\u2019s reparative justice components is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.zaoerv.de\/77_2017\/77_2017_1_a_125_160.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">unprecedented<\/a>. This shows that in certain instances it is feasible to engage armed groups in various forms of reparation that are normally required from states as part of their international obligations towards victims. Moreover, the comprehensive approach to reparative justice involving the FARC-EP as a proactive transitional justice actor is a welcome step, as the JPL process has reaffirmed the limits of court-ordered reparations in the context of gross and systematic violations.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, considering that the implementation of the FPA is in its initial stages and is taking place in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crisisgroup.org\/latin-america-caribbean\/andes\/colombia\/67-risky-business-duque-governments-approach-peace-colombia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">highly politicised<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crisisgroup.org\/latin-america-caribbean\/andes\/colombia\/63-colombias-armed-groups-battle-spoils-peace\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">unstable<\/a> context, it is not yet possible to ascertain in how far victims\u2019 rights will be satisfied in practice, nor is it clear whether the FARC-EP will successfully carry out the commitments made in the FPA. These observations, notwithstanding, the recognition of the FARC-EP\u2019s responsibility for their part in the conflict is a first step in remedying the harm and damage caused to the victims of the conflict and society at large.<\/p>\n<p><em>*The author would like to thank Prof. Felipe Gom\u00e9z Isa for his comments.<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-encadre\" style=\"margin-top: 30px;\">\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"pull-left\" title=\"OTJR - Oxford Transitional Justice Research\" src=\"media\/OTJR_Oxford-Transitional-Justice-Research_logo.jpg\" alt=\"OTJR - Oxford Transitional Justice Research\" width=\"105\" height=\"105\">OXFORD TRANSITIONAL JUSTICE RESEARCH<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This article has been published as part of a partnership between JusticeInfo.net and the Oxford Transitional Justice Research (OTJR), a network of high-level transitional justice researchers which is part of the University of Oxford.
