A new document will be presented to FARC negotiators with 26 new proposals spearheaded by the former President and Senator Alvaro Uribe Velez. Uribe was, many critics said, the voice of the “no” campaign.

One highlight of the document is the elimination of the Special Court for Peace (JEP) that consists of a special tribunal for judging the guerrillas. It would theoretically have rewarded them for telling the truth about their crimes. In addition, it would have given them amnesty and pardon for those who have committed crimes against humanity.

To replace it, Senator Uribe proposed a model of transitional justice that is already practiced by existing courts. However, providing amnesty and pardon to rank and file guerrillas who had not committed crimes against humanity has not been removed for the agreement.

In addition, he asked that the drug trade and FARC hand over all drug routes. He also wants all information related to laboratories and the money collected from drug trading.

The proposal of Alvaro Uribe is an addition to that of conservative ex-President Andres Pastrana, who reportedly agrees with the JEP. However, he said only cases from the last two years should be investigated and tried.

A group of victims asked that FARC free the hostages is its possession. They also reportedly want illegally recruited minors freed and the coordinates of the remains or whereabouts of missing people.
