In 2026, a total of 12 signatories of Colombia’s peace process have been killed. Gerardo Moreno Santana, a 61-year-old participant in the peace agreement, was murdered in central Colombia on September 15. The Special Jurisdiction for Peace (JEP), established by the peace accord, condemned this act. Moreno was actively involved in the Restorative Transitional Justice system as a participant representing the FARC-EP Joint Command.
Over 500 signatories have been assassinated since the peace agreement, which marked its 10th anniversary in November. The JEP warns that these actions have a profound impact on families and communities of peace accord signatories, jeopardizing their safety. Rights groups argue that killings of signatories have gone unpunished for years, with perpetrators often remaining unknown.
The state of the peace agreement is critical, with President Abelardo de la Espriella threatening to dismantle the JEP. The Agency for Reincorporation and Normalization, which supports former combatants, faces significant budget cuts. Despite these challenges, peace advocates remain hopeful, emphasizing the territorial organizational experiences that have contributed to peacebuilding and the benefits peace has brought to the country.
