Colombia's Salvación Nacional moves to block JEP extension, transfer cases to ordinary courts

Colombia's Salvación Nacional party has introduced a legislative project to prevent the Special Jurisdiction for Peace (JEP) from extending its mandate beyond March 2028, after which cases would shift to the ordinary justice system. The proposal challenges the current transitional justice framework, potentially altering the peace process with former FARC members. The outcome is uncertain as it faces congressional debate and potential constitutional hurdles.
