President Juan Manuel Santos (2010-2018) restarted peace negotiations with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia – People’s Army (FARC-EP) through a process of dialogue that relied on the participation of civil society and groups of the population that had been victims of the conflict historically. During this process was agreed to create a special and transitory mechanism to investigate, to ensure the participation of the highest ranking officials responsible for the most serious violations and to deliver restorative justice.
