THE COLOMBIAN PEACE PROCESS AND THE PRINCIPLE O...

Striking a balance between peace and justice has long been debated by scholars and
practitioners. There has been definite progress in a world in which blanket amnesties were at
times granted with little hesitation. There is a growing understanding that accountability has
both pragmatic and principled arguments in its favor. Practical arguments as much as shifts in
norms have created a situation in which the choice is increasingly seen as which forms of
accountability rather than a stark one between peace and justice. The Colombian Justice and
Peace Law 975 and its implementation offer an interesting and unique approach to dealing with
the international crimes committed in Colombia's decades-long armed conflict. Yet  will this
approach suffice with regard to Colombia's obligations under international law to investigate
and prosecute international crimes? Does it meet the standards of the ICC  which has been
monitoring the Colombian situation for some time now? In particular  does it pass the
complementarity test laid out in the ICC statute or will the ICC have to intervene in Colombia
to enforce international criminal law?
