National Agreement of Minimum Reconciliation and Peace
The National Agreement of Minimum Reconciliation and Peace is the result of a process that took place between 2009 and 2010, which sought to gather and discuss, among different members of society, proposals on building a better future for a country reconciled and in peace, for human dignity, economic balance and human social development. It was also intended to integrate the whole proposal on reconciliation and peace building into the National Development Plan of 2010-2014. Regional brainstorming events and forums were held in 23 cities, with representatives from more than 160 municipalities. In total, 35 social sectors were present in wide ranging face-to-face and virtual deliberations, including public and private, civil society, academia, government and organizations of national and international origin. From the contributions of all, the structure and content of the so-called National Accord was built beginning with eight minimums, considered by the participants as the central elements necessary for Colombian society to reconcile and build peace. The eight minimums of the National Agreement were welcomed in some aspects of the National Development Plan and were also included in some departmental, municipal and district development plans.
