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.
