Colombia, Parliament approves the law that archives Petro's 'total peace'

The Colombian Congress has definitively approved the law on the submission of criminal organizations to justice, which replaces the Total Peace approach of the Petro government. The House voted 95 in favor and 10 against. The legislation excludes political status from armed groups and provides for sentence reductions of up to 50% for rank-and-file members and 30% for leaders, in exchange for the delivery of weapons and illicit goods and cooperation with the justice system. Minimum sentences of ten years are foreseen for those at the top. The text now passes to presidential sanction.
