The Peace Process in Colombia-Justice Manuel José Cepeda Espinosa (Constitutional Court of Colombia)

admin - 8th May 2017
Joint
Access to Justice

The 2016 peace agreement between the Colombian government and the FARC guerrillas has entered the implementation phase. As the UN Security Council verifies the bilateral ceasefire and FARC’s disarmament, the Constitutional Court continues to review key aspects of the process, such as the nature of the peace agreement, its ratification, the mechanisms for its implementation and its central elements, mainly the transitional justice instruments. The talk will discuss the role of constitutional law in peace building in Colombia and the challenges ahead.

Manuel José Cepeda Espinosa served as a magistrate on the Constitutional Court of Colombia from 2001 to 2009 and was president of the Court from June 2005 to April 2006. After his term ended, he has combined academic activities with other engagements. He was a member of the technical negotiation team on Transitional Justice in the peace process with FARC. He is the President of the International Association of Constitutional Law (2014-2018).

This event is co-hosted by the Bonavero Institute of Human Rights (BIHR), the Oxford Network of Peace Studies (OxPeace), and the Oxford Changing Character of War Programme (CCW).
