‘Total Peace’: A Solution to Urban Conflict in Colombia? – Virtual Panel
September 8, 2023 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm
September 18, 2023 | 10:00 am – 11:30 am Colombia | Online
*Please note that this event will be conducted in Spanish.
The Colombian government’s flagship Total Peace policy has seen it open negotiations with some of the most notorious gangs in the cities of Medellín and Buenaventura. Can these talks break the cycle of generations of urban conflict, or will they be used by gang bosses for their own gain?
To accompany the publication of our investigation “Escobar’s Former Hitman Takes the Road to Total Peace in Medellín, Colombia,” on September 18th, InSight Crime will host a virtual event featuring Sara García, one of our investigators, alongside a panel of distinguished experts: Elizabeth Dickinson, Berenice Celeita, and Carlos Espitia. This space will delve into some of the challenges posed by the “Total Peace” proposal put forth by Colombia’s President, Gustavo Petro, within urban contexts.
The event will be conducted in Spanish and will be live-streamed on YouTube and Facebook.
Upon registration, you’ll be able to receive event materials.
