The Challenges of Transitional Justice from an Afro-Colombian Perspective

Between August and September 2020, the Transitional Justice team of ReD organised two online dialogues that addressed the perspectives of Afro-Colombian social leaders on transitional justice. We discussed the three regional cases currently under the Special Jurisdiction for Peace (JEP): Case 002 focused on Nariño, Case 004 on Urabá, and Case 005 on Cauca and Valle del Cauca; and what the leaders considered to be the JEP’s greatest challenges. This snapshot gathers some of the reflections, concerns, and proposals that arose during those events.

Afro-Colombian perspectives on Transitional Justice

This event opens the floor to Francia Márquez Mina to discuss what Afro-Colombian transitional justice is, how Afro-Colombian communities see the work of the Special Jurisdiction for Peace and the Truth Commission, and how we can understand these developments in the context of the ongoing armed conflict in Colombia.
