All is ready for the peace agreement between the Colombian government and the militant group Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), which was made official in Cartagena city on September 26, 2016.
This was the first phase of a process that will put to an end the 52-year-old conflict.
The second phase is set for October 2, when Colombian citizens will have the last word via the ballot box during a highly debated, countrywide referendum to affirm the peace agreement.
For Colombians, this process is of utmost interest, especially since the futures of the country's young people are at stake.
Section 6 of the final agreement describes the process for verification, victim authentication, and the mechanisms for dispensing and monitoring compensation through the “Committee for Implementing, Monitoring, and Verifying the Final Peace Agreement and the Resolution of Differences.”
The verification process is both a fulfillment of the peace agreement, as well as a means of ensuring that displaced Colombians return to their lands, obtain subsidies and compensation for damages, and receive professional psychological care.
