This reflection paper establishes the criteria that should be taken into account in the Special Jurisdiction for Peace (JEP) implemented from the Final Agreement to End the Armed Conflict and Build a Stable and Lasting Peace, signed between the National Government of Colombia and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia - People's Army (Farc-Ep) in 2016, in order to give application to the amnesty and pardon as «measures of the Integral System of Truth, Justice, Reparation and Non-Repetition», to persons being investigated in this jurisdiction on occasion, for cause, or in direct or indirect relation to the armed conflict in Colombia. These criteria were identified based on international standards established by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IACHR), the International Criminal Court and the Constitutional Court of Colombia, in order to have unified guidelines, this with the intention that the Colombian State meet the commitment to investigate, clarify, prosecute and punish serious violations against human rights and violations of International Humanitarian Law.
