Description: It is widely acknowledged that reducing the democratic process to a vote is flawed.  The challenge of a democracy is to provide opportunity to every voice in the process of decision making, while also building a consensus to govern. A pluralistic democracy can exist only if there is sanctity for the freedom of expression - of difference, disagreement, and dissent. It is fundamental to the guarantee of  equality and legitimacy to minorities, women, and people divided by class, ethnicity, race, or caste.

The armed conflict between the FARC-EP guerrilla movement and the Colombian state began in 1964 and lasted for 52 years. It claimed the lives of 220,000 Colombians. In addition, 6 million people were displaced. Colombia remains the second most land-mined country in the world.

Last year, after 4 years of negotiations, the Government of Colombia and FARC-EP concluded a Peace Agreement. The Agreement was narrowly defeated in a Plebiscite, was renegotiated, and is now being implemented.
