From 2021–2022, the German Foreign Office will fund a second phase of the project “Stabilization of the Colombian Peace Process through the Promotion of Justice, Truth and Human Rights” of the German-Colombian Peace Institute CAPAZ with approximately 915,000 €.
Through its research activities, the project has been supporting the transitional justice mechanisms in Colombia – the Special Jurisdiction for Peace (JEP) and the Truth Commission (CEV) – since 2019. In this context, the project also supports the work of the civil society support group of the Truth Commission in Germany (Nodo Alemania). The aim is to also include the voices of Colombians living abroad into the peace process.
The project is being carried out by the Instituto CAPAZ in cooperation with the Justus Liebig University Giessen, the CEDPAL of the Georg August University Göttingen, the Truth Commission and the Special Jurisdiction for Peace (JEP).
Further information on the research project can be found on the website of Instituto CAPAZ.
