Peace Summits
The Peace Summits are a space for dialogue created by the organizations that make up the network known as the Agrarian, Peasant, Ethnic and Popular Summit (Span. Cumbre Agraria, Campesina, Étnica y Popular). What motivated the creation of the Peace Summits is that the dialogues between the insurgent forces and the National Government did not reflect the wide range of peace initiatives emerging from the territories. In this scenario, the peace summits had the following main goals: to consolidate a political and methodological proposal for the sustainable construction of peace that addresses the proposals of the organizations that compose the Agrarian, Peasant, Ethnic and Popular Summit at the regional and national levels; to generate spaces for the collective construction of communities and civil society organizations to structure a National Peace Agenda; and to elaborate a route for political and intercultural dialogue for the collective resolution of territorial conflicts. Twelve regional summits were held; three sectoral summits, one indigenous, one peasant and one Afro-Colombian; and one national summit.
