As we have started teaching "Conflict Transformation Skills" at Middlebury, we have been fortunate to have a leading global mediator as a guest speaker and teacher. Francisco Diez is senior mediation advisor at the United Nations (UN). He has contributed to the UN's efforts to foster dialogue and reconciliation in Bolivia, and provided expert advice on conflict prevention and preventive diplomacy in Ecuador, El Salvador, Honduras and Venezuela. From 2014 onwards he worked with the Kroc Institute to set up the Colombia Peace Accord Matrix to monitor and support the implementation of the peace agreement between the Colombian Government and the FARC, and assisted dialogue processes in Bolivia, Chile, Ecuador, Nicaragua, and Mexico.  This episode starts with introductions from Julian Portilla, mediator and co-instructor of the CT Skills class, and Caroline Harding, CT Collaborative intern. Diez gave this talk remotely in 2023, and we were lucky to have him back in January 2024 to lead trainings for students.  For more on Francisco Diez, see: https://franciscodiez.com.ar/ For a video recording of this talk, see our video library: https://www.middlebury.edu/ct-video-collection

Colombia is in the midst of a change, the development of a new focus on life, human rights, dignity and peace. Its foreign policy reflects that. In his address to the IIEA, Vice-Minister Coy discusses the Colombian Government's foreign policy approach and priorities, especially regarding shared experiences and lessons on Peace implementation between Colombia and Ireland. He also discusses the unique ethnic, territorial, and gender-based approach required to achieve Total Peace through international cooperation and dialogue.  Francisco Coy is the Vice Minister for Foreign Affairs of Colombia, a position he has held since 2022. Vice-Minister Coy joined the Colombian Foreign Service in 1988 and has previously served as Advisor to the Foreign Minister from 2020 to 2022. He has also served as Deputy Chief of Mission of Colombia to Belgium, Luxembourg and to the European Union and NATO from 2015 until 2020. He has also been a Professor of Colombian Foreign Policy, Comparative Foreign Policies, and Foreign Policy of the United States at the Javeriana University, Andes University, Rosario University, Externado University of Colombia, the Military University, and Jorge Tadeo Lozano University.

This book carries out a multidisciplinary analysis of different aspects of the peace process between the Colombian Government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia - People's Army (FARC-EP), as well as the challenges of early implementation of the agreement reached in 2016. The authors of Excombatientes y acuerdo de paz en Colombia address practical issues regarding reintegration, implementation of peace agreements, and transition situations related to ex-combatants. They analyze the political reintegration process, the role of international cooperation and the private sector, the responses of groups such as youth, and also the institutional adjustments that this early stage has implied. Thanks to the thematic diversity, approaches, and methodologies, Dr. Erin McFee and Dr. Angelika Rettberg achieve a complementary and pertinent look at this incredible narrative in light of the challenges that the peace process implies for the formulation of public policies in Colombia. This work is aimed at academics and professionals in peacebuilding, reintegration, and transitional interventions and policies, but anyone interested in peace processes or Colombia will find this work both enlightening and inspiring. Connor Christensen is a graduate student at the University of Chicago, pursuing both an MPP at the Harris School of Public Policy and an MA at the Center for Middle Eastern Studies. Prior to his current studies he served five years in the US Navy and studied History at Saint Louis University's Madrid, Spain campus. His work focuses on the reintegration process of veterans of the military and non-state armed groups in contexts spanning the US, Colombia, Afghanistan, Somalia, and beyond.

 Colombia has a long complex history of conflict.  The government of President Juan Manuel Santos signed a peace agreement in 2016 with the guerrilla group the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia-People’s Army,  which sought to end fifty years of war.  The Santos government spent great efforts negotiating with the guerrilla group but failed to communicate the value of lasting peace to the Colombian people. On this episode, we talk with author, film maker and researcher Dr Gwen Burnyeat from the University College London on her ethnographic study of the Office of the High Commissioner for Peace, the government department responsible for peace negotiations and for explaining the peace process to the Colombian people. Dr Gwen Burnyeat is currently a Junior Research Fellow in Anthropology at the University of Oxford, please follow the link below to learn more about her interesting work. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/suren-ladd/message

In 2016, a peace agreement was negotiated between the Colombian Government and one guerrilla movement known as the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or the FARC. But the peace deal was rejected by a narrow margin in a referendum in 2016. A revised peace deal was eventually ratified by the Congress of Colombia.

A peace deal which ended half a century of armed conflict was signed between the Colombian Government and the rebel group, the FARC in 2016. One man who played a role in helping bring about the ceasefire is Jose Miguel Sokoloff. He's not a politician or a military expert, but an expert in advertising. As he explained to Radio 4's PM programme, it was his unusual campaign that helped demobilize the FARC rebels. (Photo: Xmas lights on trees Credit: Getty images)

After almost 60 years of war, Colombia may be on the verge of peace. On November 2012, the Colombian Government and the guerrilla group FARC (Armed Revolutionary Forces of Colombia) began formal peace talks. The parties have advanced in four of the five main points on the agenda and have set for themselves a deadline of 23 March 2016 to reach a final agreement. Talks with the smaller remaining guerrilla group ELN (National Liberation Army) have also advanced and negotiations may start soon. What is the content of the agreements being negotiated with FARC, particularly on transitional justice issues (e.g. compensating victims of human rights violations and addressing the impunity of violators)? What are the prospects for their implementation, given the history of Colombia past peace processes? How could Canada contribute to peace with justice in Colombia?
