Show Notes

Since taking office in August 2018, Colombia’s government has sought to devise new strategies to advance peace and security in a country long plagued by armed conflict and organized criminal violence. Political consensus around peace, however, has remained elusive.

Speakers: Roy Barreras Senator, Partido de la Unidad Nacional

Michael Camilleri Director, Peter D. Bell Rule of Law Program, The Inter-American Dialogue

Iván Cepeda Senator, Polo Democrático Alternativo

Paloma Valencia Senator, Centro Democrático

Steve Hege, moderator Senior Expert on Colombia, U.S. Institute of Peace
