In 2016, future Nobel Peace Prize winner Juan Manuel Santos and the Colombian government signed a historic peace agreement with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) guerillas, ending 60 years of internal armed conflict. As part of the agreement, Colombia created a Commission for the Clarification of Truth, Coexistence, and Non-repetition, charged with investigating and clarifying major human rights violations and shedding light on the causes and origins of the conflict. In 2022, the final report, There is Future if There is Truth, was released, opening a permanent dialogue within the country. UNESCO recently declared it as part of the Human Rights Universal Archives, recognizing the purpose of reconciling the fragmented society.
