Colombian human rights defender Pilar Rueda has returned to the Special Jurisdiction for Peace (JEP), which she had left to support her husband Iván Cepeda's presidential campaign. JEP officials confirmed that Rueda has resumed her duties as an Advisor in the Investigation and Accusation Unit (UIA).
Rueda's appointment was recorded as an autonomous decision taken on the initiative of the relevant unit's director and shaped in accordance with merit and competence. Rueda, who played an active role in the peace process with the former FARC in the past and worked in the field of human rights, is expected to focus on women victims of sexual violence during this term.
On the other hand, the future of the JEP remains uncertain under the new political leadership. Elected president Abelardo de la Espriella claimed during the campaign that he would abolish the court, but the new Minister of Justice Iván Cancino stated that because the JEP has a constitutional basis, it cannot be easily abolished, and the new government will adopt a pragmatic approach demanding accountability.
