Online Event
Over three years after the signing of a historic peace agreement between the Colombian state and the FARC insurgency, the perspectives for building a lasting peace in the country continue to be elusive. Professor Tickner will discuss the main challenges that Colombia faces today, including the alarmingly high levels of violence committed by remaining violent non-state actors, including the ELN guerrillas, organized criminal organizations and dissident factions of FARC, and the lack of a security strategy attuned to peace building. She will also reflect upon how ongoing pressures from the Trump government in the United States to return to failed “drug war” policies of the past, combined with the Venezuelan crisis, cloud the path to peace even further.
