The Integrated System, containing the Commission for the Clarification of Truth, Coexistence and Non-Repetition, the Unit for the Search of Missing People Due to and in the Context of the Armed Conflict and the Special Jurisdiction for Peace, was established.

Summary

Introduction

In Colombia, even though there is a post-agreement period, whether the State could achieve to terminate the conflict by an endless peace or not, is still a big question. As a current problem for the international community and for the Colombian people, there are many points to discuss on Colombia and its post-agreement period. It is seen that there are some ongoing acts of violence in Colombia, even though a peace agreement is made. Conflicts between Colombian official forces and some other organized armed groups continue. For this reason, in this article, the term post-agreement is used instead of post-conflict. The Final Agreement to End the Armed Conflict and Build a Stable and Lasting Peace (La Havana-Bogota Peace Agreement) and transitional justice system will be evaluated in this article, in order to understand the post-agreement period in Colombia
