Summary
The Colombian Final Accord is an innovative agreement, particularly with respect to the amount of overall content devoted to transitional justice, victims, and the emphasis on subsequent implementation (Herbolzheimer, 2016; Nylander, Sandberg, and Tvedt, 2018). Some of the most contentious issues in the negotiations that produced the accord were related to truth and reconciliation processes, prosecution and sentencing for war crimes, prisoners release, and amnesty, and the armed actors and negotiators showed great interest in learning from other peace processes. The overall end result of these efforts was the reaching of what is almost certainly the most victim-centered comprehensive peace agreement ever negotiated.1
