Join us to mark ten years since Colombia’s 2016 Peace Agreement. Drawing on experiences from Colombia and Northern Ireland, this event explores what makes peace agreements durable, how implementation can be sustained over time, and which lessons on negotiation, justice and conflict resolution can inform peace efforts.
This event discusses:
- How was Colombia’s Peace Agreement reached?
- What can Colombia and Northern Ireland teach about preventing renewed conflict?
- What makes peace last beyond the moment of agreement?
- Which lessons apply to contemporary conflicts and peace processes?
- How have verification, transitional justice and inclusive institutions helped sustain peace?
- How should peacebuilding adapt to future conflicts and changing political conditions?
Keynote reflections
The panel discussion will be followed by keynote reflections from Juan Manuel Santos, former President of Colombia and Nobel Peace Prize laureate, on the implementation of the 2016 Peace Agreement and the lessons it offers for peace processes around the world.
