Colombian government and ELN conclude ceasefire and engagement process

The Colombian government and the National Liberation Army (ELN) are set to sign 13 protocols and technical documents this Friday, solidifying the ceasefire terms and outlining the methods of societal participation.

Sources involved in the discussions report that nine national, bilateral, and temporary ceasefire protocols have been finalized.

In the coming hours, they will also conclude the signing of four technical documents concerning engagement practices, both integral to further the peace process.

This signing event is the culmination of ongoing discussions between representatives from both parties, which have been taking place since June 20.

Meetings have been conducted at two separate locations – Havana and Bogota – to thoroughly dissect the agreements made in Cuba on June 9, after the third dialogue cycle.
