Toxic Peace: The Political & Environmental Promises and Threat of Post-Conflict

Submitted by diana.pardo on

Post-conflict Colombia is a toxic place. Despite the recent peace agreement with the FARC guerrillas, it currently experiences an increasing number of murders of community leaders, political activists, and ex-combatants. Forced displacements are also on the rise. There is uncertainty about the formation and rearmament of FARC dissident groups and the upsurge in the territorial power of other armed groups. The government has authorized the resumption of glyphosate aerial fumigation of coca plantations.
