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 Case of Salvatore Mancuso and the JEP

With Order No. 90 of 2020, the Chamber for the Recognition of Truth, Responsibility and Determination of Conduct (SRVR) of the Special Jurisdiction for Peace (JEP) rejected Salvatore Mancuso’s petition to be admitted. In 1997, Salvatore Mancuso helped form the United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia (AUC), an illegal organisation that, under his command, repeatedly committed severe human rights violations in seven departments of the Caribbean and in the region of Catatumbo.
