Colombia reactivates arrest warrants against 46 members of three armed groups; FARC leader among them

The Colombian Prosecutor's Office has reactivated arrest warrants against 46 members of three armed groups, two factions of the former FARC and one paramilitary group, that had previously negotiated peace under President Gustavo Petro. This decision follows the current president, Abelardo de la Espriella, ending the dialogue process with these groups, citing their lack of genuine commitment to peace. The move effectively revokes the suspended status of these individuals, who were previously granted temporary immunity. The decision marks a shift from Petro’s 'total peace' policy, which aimed to bring all illegal armed groups into compliance with the law, but was abandoned due to perceived lack of cooperation.
