Background
Colombia established the Special Jurisdiction for Peace with an initial 15-year mandate to investigate and prosecute the worst crimes committed during the conflict, including sexual and gender-based violence crimes.

Justice Rapid Response has deployed eight missions to the JEP in 2019 and 2020. Experts have shared their experiences in international criminal justice issues including the management and analysis of large amounts of evidence and data for building criminal cases, as well as the protection of victims and witnesses, and victim participation in judicial processes.

This project was undertaken with the financial support of the Government of Canada provided through Global Affairs Canada. We are also grateful for the participation of the Colombian Commission of Jurists.
