SUMMARY:Regional Peace Co-construction in Colombia: Innovations and Challenges
DESCRIPTION:With Andrei Gómez-Suárez\, Delegate of the Colombian government to the negotiations with guerrilla group Comuneros del Sur. \n \nLocation:\nTeaching Room 03\, Old College\, University of Edinburgh Law School \nDate/time:\nWednesday 30 October 2024\n15:00–16:00 GMT \nAbout this event: \nPeaceRep and the Global Justice Academy are delighted to host visiting academic\, Andrei Gómez-Suárez\, for a discussion on the ongoing peace process negotiations in Colombia. \nFollowing over a half a century of conflict\, the Colombian government is now pursuing a “Total Peace” strategy\, which involves negotiating with all armed and political rebel groups including the National Liberation Army (ELN) and dissent groups of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC). Peace negotiations have also involved efforts towards reconciliation\, including assistance and reparation for victims of conflict. \nIn this seminar\, Andrei will share his first-hand experience of negotiating as part of the Colombian government’s delegation in Nariño with guerrilla group Comuneros del Sur. \nAndrei will discuss the innovative approaches he and his colleagues are taking to build lasting peace\, while also sharing the challenges inherent in fostering inclusive dialogue and navigating complex regional dynamics. \nFollowing the presentation\, there will be an opportunity for attendees to participate in a Q&A. \nThis event is in-person only. Refreshments will be provided. \nRegistration: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/regional-peace-co-construction-in-colombia-innovations-and-challenges-tickets-1037680108137 \nAbout the speaker \nAndrei Gómez-Suárez (PhD University of Sussex) is part of the Colombian government’s delegation in a peace process in Nariño\, living in Edinburgh but spending part of each year in Colombia.
