Abstract
Colombia has experienced a non-international armed conflict which has lasted for more than 60 years. On September 4, 2012, during the presidential term of Juan Manuel Santos, peace negotiations began between the Colombian State and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia -People's Army (FARC-EP) - with the aim of ending the armed conflict between both actors. The agreements culminated on September 26, 2016. Regarding the foregoing, questions arose on the criminal liability of the State agent. The question on their liability has resounded in the competent international bodies, such as the International Criminal Court and the Inter-American Court of Human Rights. The recently created Special Jurisdiction for Peace (JEP) is now to decide the possible activation of the principle of complementarity to avoid delays in processes involving high-ranking State officials and properly comply with the provisions of Article 120, Statute of Rome.
