The EnPAx Transitional Justice Interest Group is hosting a webinar open to the public on transitional justice and the environment in the context of Colombia’s transitional justice process. This webinar is co-sponsored by the Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies at the University of Notre Dame.
The signing of the 2016 Colombian Peace Agreement formally ended the more than 50-year conflict between the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) and the Government of the Republic of Colombia.
However, in the years since the signing of the agreement, environmental issues have arisen, highlighting new challenges and innovations for the practice and study of the field of environmental peacebuilding, transitional justice, and conservation. Understanding how the environment factors into transitioning to peace serves as a formal and informal vehicle; transitional justice is critical to peacebuilding. The case and contexts of Colombia offer a novel and still unfolding opportunity to explore questions and draw out lessons for facilitating sustainable peace.
This webinar is comprised of two separate panels:
Panel 1 (9:30 - 10:40 a.m.)
Speakers include Angela María Amaya-Arias (director of research in the department of environmental law, Universidad Externado de Colombia, Colombia), Gloria Amparo Rodriguez (professor of law and director of the Public Law Research Group, Universidad del Rosario, Colombia and adjunct judge of the constitutional court of Colombia), and Josefina Echavarría Alvarez (professor of the practice, Keough School of Global Affairs at the University of Notre Dame, and director of the Peace Accords Matrix, a research initiative of the Keough School’s Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies) and Tatiana Menjura Roldán (researcher, Peace Accords Matrix’s Barometer Initiative in Colombia).
