The EU Instrument contributing to Stability and Peace (IcSP) supported a major pilot project that addressed both issues at the same time. The initiative proved that all parties could work together on a practical issue that also brought clear benefits to local communities by removing landmines and building the confidence needed for a broader peace agreement. The time has come to give a new collective impetus for peace and reconciliation. And that is why I call for increased international efforts, led by the Security Council, to achieve a global ceasefire by the end of the year. [..] The world needs a global ceasefire to end all ”hot” conflicts. At the same time, we must do everything in our power to avoid a new Cold War. The silence of arms can not only support the fight against COVID-19, but also create opportunities for life-saving assistance, open windows for diplomacy and bring hope to people living in conflict zones particularly vulnerable to the pandemic. Since March, 180 countries, the Security Council, regional organizations, civil society groups, peace activists and millions of citizens around the world have supported the Secretary-General`s call for a ceasefire. Colombia has experienced more than 50 years of armed conflict that has killed, displaced or injured eight million people. But in 2016, an agreement was reached between the Colombian government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) aimed at a ceasefire and ultimately peace between the two sides.
I called for an immediate global ceasefire to focus on the only real struggle: the fight against #COVID19. The Security Council has joined in this call. We must intensify our efforts. The clock is ticking – and people are dying.t.co/0hfUlJsPBF Today, I call for an immediate global ceasefire in every corner of the world. It is time to put the armed conflict into lockdown and focus together on the real struggle of our lives – the pandemic #COVID19.t.co/F6JRA6ekvZ pic.twitter.com/7WgtFMk5GC Acordo de Cessar-Fogo Humanitário sobre o Conflito do Darfur.

The aim of International Anti-Corruption Day is to support a positive and proactive attitude against corruption. Government officials, Colombian soldiers and FARC members then worked together to identify and clear the mines. This joint effort was crucial. The combination of former FARC soldiers with their knowledge of where the mines had been placed with the technical know-how of the government was indispensable. .

They have now begun to provide socio-economic, health, educational, victim and infrastructure assistance in historically remote areas. The work was also a technical success. It contributes to the establishment of new standards in Colombia, including the use of mechanical demining equipment, the development of environmental regulations and procedures for medical evacuations. For more information, read the complete technical sheet of the project by clicking here. The project took place in two remote villages in the most mined areas of the country: El Orejón in the Antioquia region and Santa Helena in the Meta region. The work began with a joint analysis of the situation on the ground, involving the communities of El Orejón and Santa Helena, allowing the project team to establish links with local authorities and build political confidence in the work. Eugenia Holguín is president of the local association of municipalities of El Orejón and says that the project has had a great impact: ”It has changed El Orejón. Now we have a new school and also a new community house. Now we no longer live in fear. The clock is ticking and there is no time to lose. Resultados: 1052.

The biggest challenge in the negotiation process was to build trust. This was especially true as Colombians continued to be killed and injured by some of the deadliest weapons of the conflict: landmines. The icSP-funded project was effectively an entry point for the Colombian state to reach communities that had considered themselves abandoned. And after the experience of demining work, other ministries began to make proposals for health, education and infrastructure projects. .
