Peace From Below

Ten years after Colombia’s historic Peace Agreement, the promise of peace remains unfulfilled. NACLA’s Fall 2026 issue, “Peace from Below,” reflects on the agreement’s promises, achievements, and shortcomings by foregrounding the communities most affected by armed conflict.

From across Colombia, Peace Agreement signatories, victims’ organizations, campesino groups, Indigenous and Afro-descendant communities, and women’s and LGBTIQ+ organizations examine the enduring challenges—and possibilities—of building a just and lasting peace from below.
