Colombia's war crimes tribunal, JEP, has issued a warning to the United Nations and the International Criminal Court (ICC) regarding President Abelardo de la Espriella's plans to reduce the tribunal's budget. President Ramelli of JEP expressed alarm over a proposed budget cut of COP100 billion ($31.6 million) introduced by far-right Senator Enrique Gomez, along with support from de la Espriella.
Additionally, a second proposal by the Democratic Center seeks to move all sentences against security force members to military justice for review. Ramelli believes these bills indicate a coordinated effort to obstruct JEP's operations and called on the international community to intervene. Ramelli emphasized that these actions are a serious attack on the tribunal's independence and autonomy, representing the gravest challenge faced by JEP in its independence and autonomy.
