Is Santos’ suspension of air strikes on the FARC violating Colombia’s Constitution?
Mar 12, 2015 posted by Rush Dorsett

Colombian president Juan Manuel Santos is violating the constitution by suspending air strikes against rebel group FARC, critics of peace talks with the group said. But is he really?

The president on Tuesday announced that the military will suspend air strikes on camps of rebel group FARC for one month in response to a unilateral ceasefire agreed to by the guerrillas in December.

Santos and the guerrillas have been holding peace talks since November 2012 and are currently trying to de-escalate the country’s 50-year-long armed conflict.

Constitutional right for peace

However, according to the former commander of the army, General Harold Bedoya, the reduced military activity puts citizens at risk of violence from guerrilla groups and is a lack of consideration of their constitutional rights for peace.
