1 Provisional programme Turbulence in peace processes: what next for Colombia? Wednesday 29 Friday 31 March 2017 WP1533 Context and rationale The Colombian peace agreement reached at the end of 2016 brought a fifty year-long conflict to an end. The agreement has striking innovative aspects that could hold lessons for other peace processes in the future, notably with regard to process-design, gender issues, and transitional justice. Although strongly criticised by important Colombian political figures, a policy of conducting negotiations (with military participation) while waging war, and vice versa, has been a very common feature of efforts to end internal conflict. It is now critical to discuss and debate among key Colombian and international policymakers, as well as other stakeholders, the benefits of the agreement and the importance of supporting it. The purpose of this forum is to learn from the process that resulted in a peace agreement in Colombia, have a debate about the challenges and priorities of peace implementation, and asses the role of international actors in supporting Colombia s post-accord scenario. The discussions will contribute to the dissemination of the agreement and explore options for gaining international and national political and public support. At a time when Colombia faces the opportunities and challenges of peace implementation, this forum will gather the views of Colombian and international diplomats, policymakers, scholars, activists and members of NGO and civil society organisations. The participatory format of the meeting, encompassing extended roundtable discussion during plenary sessions, plus substantial time spent in smaller breakout groups, will help generate fresh insights and analysis. It will be held on the basis of non-attributable discussion in a neutral environment designed to encourage open and constructive exchange. In association with NOREF Norwegian Centre for Conflict Resolution (Speakers invited and themes proposed ^ denotes expected, role in programme to be confirmed; * denotes to be confirmed) Wednesday 29 March Participants arrive and buffet lunch available Welcome and introduction Robert Grant Programme Director, Wilton Park, Steyning In association with: RG
2 Mariano Aguirre The Colombian peace agreement: the domestic and international context What conditions and policies, both domestically and internationally, enabled the success of the agreement and the ability to renegotiate it after the referendum defeat? What are the sources and reasons for the political challenges to it, and how significant a threat do these represent? Sergio Jaramillo (via video link) High Commissioner for Peace in Colombia, Office of the President, Bogotá Iván Márquez (via video link) Head, FARC Peace Delegation, Havana Dag Nylander Former Special Envoy of the Norwegian Government to the Colombian Peace Process; Senior Adviser, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Oslo Eamon Gilmore EU Special Envoy for Peace in Colombia, European External Action Service (EEAS), Brussels Photograph followed by tea/coffee Key innovative elements of the peace agreement: process design, gender issues, and transitional justice What were the key conceptual and structural features of the Colombian peace process? How was the participation of women s organisations built into the negotiations, and what impact did this participation have? What are the major elements of the agreement s provisions on transitional justice? What role did victims play in the negotiation of these provisions? Are there lessons from these key features of how the agreement was negotiated that could be applied to the implementation phase? Which aspects of the Colombian peace process and agreement could potentially have wider applicability to other conflicts? Kristian Herbolzheimer Programme Director, Conciliation Resources, London Juanita Millan Adviser, High Commissioner for Peace, Military Forces of Colombia, Bogotá Juanita Goebertus Senior Associate, The Institute for Integrated Transitions, Bogotá 1915 Reception followed by dinner 1915 Wilton Park/NOREF briefing for session 5 chairs in the conference room Thursday 30 March Breakfast Implementation challenges: laying down weapons, reincorporation and transitional justice What is the current state of progress in the process of laying down weapons? What further steps are needed to continue the process as expeditiously as possible under the agreed
3 Tea/coffee timetable? What are the current major risks that could impede the process? In what ways could the government and FARC attempt to use the process of laying down weapons to reinforce support for the peace agreement? What are the overall strengths and weaknesses of the reincorporation provisions of the peace agreement? How can the early stages of the reincorporation programme be implemented so as to maximise support to the conclusion of the process of laying down arms? What measures has the National Reincorporation Council taken to date and what has the impact been of this activity? What are the major threats to successful implementation of the reincorporation programme? What are the most controversial elements of the provisions on transitional justice? Are there ways of addressing and mitigating some of these controversies through early implementation activities? What needs to happen to enable the Special Jurisdiction for Peace (SPJ) and the truth commission to get started as efficiently and effectively as possible? For all three of these areas, are there lessons from other peace processes that are potentially applicable to Colombia? Rodrigo Uprimny Professor and Researcher, University of Bogotá; Centre of Studies (Dejusticia), Bogotá Carlos Rojas Tirado Major General, Colombian Army, Bogotá *Imelda Daza Cotes Spokesperson, Voices for Peace, Congress of Colombia, Bogotá Implementation challenges: land, drugs and security Lunch Are there significant linkages and interaction between rural reform, illicit economies and security, and if so, of what nature? What are the highest priority actions for implementing rural reform, for developing alternatives to drug cultivation, and for preventing security vacuums that drug cartels and other illegal armed groups from Colombia, as well as neighbouring countries, can move into? What are the major obstacles to successfully taking these actions? Are there any sequencing issues to take into consideration between land reform, drug substitution and security, and ways of creating positive synergies between them? What role can the private sector play in the development of rural infrastructure and alternative livelihoods to drug cultivation? Are there lessons from other post conflict environments in the areas of land reform, developing alternatives to drug cultivation and maintenance of security that are potentially applicable to Colombia? Ivan Briscoe Programme Director, Latin America and the Caribbean, International Crisis Group (ICG), Bogotá Martin Jelsma Programme Director, Drugs and Democracy, Transnational Institute (TNI), Amsterdam Pontus Ohrstedt Head, Office Resident Coordinator, United Nations Mission in Colombia, Bogotá 1430 Wilton Park/NOREF Briefing for session 7 chairs in the conference room Role playing breakout groups: perspectives and interests of key stakeholders Each group will role play a key stakeholder in the implementation of the peace agreement,
