Colombian Gov't Rejects Rebel Proposal on Peace Zones
  • 8 years ago
Government negotiators at the Havana peace talks strongly rejected a proposal from the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) to create special peace zones under the supervision of a UN monitoring mission. The proposal seeks to prevent paramilitary forces from taking advantage of the rebel disarmament and to further demilitarization. The government argues that it would involve weakening and dividing Colombia into different zones. teleSUR
