The New Strategy for Prioritisation in Case 03

On 18 February 2021, as part of Auto 033 of 2021, the Special Jurisdiction for Peace (JEP) published its strategy for prioritisation within Case 03.

THE 7 CASES BEFORE THE JEP

One element of the SJP is the Investigation and Accusation Unit (IAU) that is the only body within the JEP with judicial police powers. The unit has 16 prosecutors and one director and is tasked with investigating and bringing criminal charges in those cases where the alleged individual or collective perpetrators of serious human rights violations and International Humanitarian Law do not recognise the truth or accept their responsibility.
