Colombia JEP summons ex-military intelligence for UP genocide crimes

Colombia's Special Jurisdiction for Peace (JEP) has summoned eight former military intelligence members to face charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity, including torture, murder, and disappearances targeting the Unión Patriótica (UP) party and guerrilla groups. This marks a formal judicial step in addressing historical atrocities from the internal conflict, potentially setting precedent for accountability. The move is significant for transitional justice in Colombia, though the accused's response and legal outcomes remain uncertain.
