Colombian jurist urges strengthening JEP, warns against elimination

Gonzalo Mallarino, a Colombian jurist, argues that the Special Jurisdiction for Peace (JEP) should be strengthened rather than eliminated, pushing back against political narratives that frame the tribunal as incompatible with certain notions of justice. The statement signals ongoing domestic debate over the JEP's future amid potential reform efforts. This matters as the JEP is central to Colombia's transitional justice framework and post-conflict stability.
