Judge Danilo Rojas Betancourth Elected New President of Colombia's JEP

Judge Danilo Rojas Betancourth was elected president of Colombia's Special Jurisdiction for Peace (JEP), defeating judges Reinere Jaramillo Chaverra and Camilo Suárez Aldana. The JEP is a transitional justice body established under the 2016 peace accord, and its leadership change may influence the pace and direction of ongoing peace process cases. The election signals continuity in the institution's mandate, though the specific policy implications remain unclear.
