In the most recent printed edition of , six former FARC commanders warned that The Peace Agreement signed in Havana (Cuba) with former president Juan Manuel Santos is in danger.
The former members of that extinct guerrilla They directly blamed the Special Jurisdiction for Peace (JEP) because, supposedly, this transitional court is not doing what it should ultimately be executing on this signed Peace Agreement.
“We are not refusing any responsibility. Not even in the most critical moments, when they trapped Jesús Santrich, did we make the wrong decision. We stay here. What worries us is that we are going to die owing to the country. I don’t want to die owing to the country. It’s what we agreed for the victims. We have to move forward so as not to repeat Justice and Peace.

In , Judge Roberto Vidal, president of the Special Jurisdiction for Peace (JEP), referred to the fact that, Even though eight years have passed since the signing of the Havana Agreement, nothing has yet happened against the former FARC commanders.

We are talking about the same crimes that were used in the Nuremberg trial against the Nazi regime. It is as if at the Nuremberg trial, the entire Nazi leadership had recognized its responsibility. That happened here. Accused of the most serious international crimes, in a way that must be recognized as having been very committed to the agreements, providing truth, these gentlemen of the secretariat recognized their responsibility,” explained Vidal in
