Post-conflict and military reform: reflections and recommendtions on the Colombian case after the Havana agreements
Journal Title: Conjuntura Austral: journal of the Global South - Year 2018, Vol 9, Issue 45
Abstract
This article proposes some specific suggestions in relation to the reform of the public force in Colombia in the face of post-conflict. It starts with the concept of Security Sector Reform and its normative horizon. Subsequently, it reviews the essential aspects of the military reform undertaken in the 2000s, both in its strengths in weakening the FARC and in its deficiencies in terms of democratic civilian control and respect for human rights. Finally, in order to overcome such shortcomings and to meet the security needs of the new strategic scenario resulting from the Havana agreement, some recommendations are proposed in the short and long term to advance a more stable post-conflict and build a durable peace.
