哥伦比亚当选总统阿韦拉尔多·德·拉·埃斯普列亚(Abelardo de la Espriella)将处理与已解散的 FARC 叛军冲突相关罪行的“和平特别管辖权”法庭称为“失败”机构,并誓言将其解散 [1]。该法庭目前面临被废除的不确定性局面,尽管其运作受到哥伦比亚宪法保护且得到国际刑事法院的支持 [1]。
针对这一动向,现任总统及法庭主席亚历杭德罗·拉梅利(Alejandro Ramelli)表示反对关闭该机构 。拉梅利警告称,若强行关闭法庭将使哥伦比亚违反对国际刑事法院的义务 。与此同时,当选总统指定的司法部长伊万·坎西诺(Iván Cancino)则表示无意消除该法庭,但他强调将要求审查其支出并关注案件结果 。
“和平特别管辖权”法庭的任务是调查战争罪和反人类罪行,任期将持续至 2028 年,届时国会需决定是否将其延长五年 。在任期内,该法庭已处理涉及超过 14,000 名嫌疑人的案件,其中约 70% 为前 FARC 游击队员,其余 29% 为前安全部队成员 。
Colombia's elected President Abelardo de la Espriella has vowed to dissolve the Special Jurisdiction for Peace, a tribunal established to handle crimes related to the country's conflict with former FARC rebels. The incoming leader described the court as a "failed" institution [1]. This proposed dismantling faces significant legal and political hurdles; the jurisdiction is protected under Colombia's constitution and supported by the International Criminal Court (ICC), which previously ruled that Colombia had fulfilled its international judicial obligations regarding the case [1].
Alejandro Ramelli, president of the Special Jurisdiction for Peace, has warned that closing the tribunal would cause Colombia to violate its obligations to the ICC [1]. The court's mandate is set to expire in 2028, after which Congress must decide whether to extend it by five years [1]. To date, the jurisdiction has processed cases involving more than 14,000 suspects; approximately 70% of these individuals are former FARC guerrillas, while about 29% are members of former security forces [1].
Despite the president-elect's stance, Iván Cancino, the justice minister designated by him, stated that he has no intention of eliminating the court. However, Cancino indicated his administration would demand results and review its expenditures [1]. The future of this specialized judicial body remains uncertain amidst opposition from current President Gustavo Petro and Ramelli himself [1].
