Colombia’s foreign minister asked the United Nations’ Security Council to investigate attempts to sabotage an ongoing peace process.

Foreign Minister Alvaro Leyva asked the security council to create an international commission in charge of investigating alleged attempts to sabotage war crimes tribunal JEP.

In March, the JEP formally accused former prosecution officials of fraud and concealing evidence in order to extradite late guerrilla leader Jesus Santrich on bogus drug trafficking charges.

The JEP only has the legal authority to investigate crimes against humanity committed by the FARC and State officials during the armed conflict between 1985 and 2016.

The prosecution has historically failed to adequately investigate human rights violations and crimes against humanity, according to the Truth Commission.
