Abstract
This Article examines the Colombian peace process, including an analysis of the historical context in which it takes place, and the process by which the current peace process took shape. This Article also explores factors that affect the Colombian peace process, such as the war on drugs and the increasing involvement of the United States in that war. Additionally, the conflict in Colombia has had devastating effects on the human rights situation in Colombia. The growing number of human rights violations suggest an inadequacy of legal protections afforded to those who are involved in the conflict in Colombia. This Article also analyzes the role of international humanitarian law in the internal conflict in Colombia. In this respect, this Article looks at how the internationalization of the Colombian conflict has affected the peace process.
