The 322-page indictment, four years after the signing of the Peace Accord with the Colombian Government, accusing the ex Secretariat of war crimes for kidnapping and crimes against humanity marks a watershed moment in recent Colombian history for justice, truth and victims reparations. The representatives of the oldest Marxist insurgency in the world now have 30 days to acknowledge the formal charges or face up to 20 years in prison, given that “hostage taking” constitutes a war crime under Article 8 of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court.
