This report discusses the lagging implementation of the Justice and Peace Law (JPL) in Colombia, commenting on the country's transitional justice process. It identifies different problems of JPL implementation, looks at respective efforts in the provinces Narino, Norte de Santander and Eastern Antioquia and suggests ways to tackle the existing challenges. The paper argues that the government has done little to address the issues of JPL implementation and that military operations and police presence alone will not consolidate security and expand the rule of law across Colombia.
