Abstract

he UN Security Council approved the establishment of a political mission in Colombia. The UN Verification Mission in Colombia to monitor the reintegration of FARC-EP has two precise objectives: to verify the bilateral cessation of fire and hostilities, and to accompany the process of laying down the FARC-EP’s arms. This article analyzes this UN mission in Colombia to ascertain if it can be considered one of a new generation of peacekeeping missions. The final statement considers if the model of the Colombian mission could be implemented in other conflicts around the world.
