UN formally agrees to second Colombia mission

Tuesday, July 11, 2017


The United Nations formally agreed to engage in a second mission to Colombia’s ongoing peace process on Monday through which they will oversee the reintegration of the Marxist-inspired FARC rebels into civilian life in the country.

The unanimous adoption of a British-drafted resolution establishes the United Nations Verification Mission in Colombia for a year starting on Sept. 17, when the mandate of the current mission that has been monitoring the cease-fire and disarmament process ends.
