Title The possibilities of foreign participation in the Colombian transitional process: an analysis of the domestic situation, the MAPP and the prospects for the ICC
Summary This thesis is dedicated to the evaluation of how two international institutions, the International Criminal Court (ICC) and the Mission of Support to the Peace Process in Colombia (MAPP), are contemplated in the domestic transitional process in Colombia. Firstly, it will briefly present the conflict’s background as well as what led to the current peace agreements, setting the basis for the comprehension of the internal parameters in which the country’s Special Jurisdiction for Peace (SJP) operates and its main legislation and institutions. Then, there will be an introduction to the mandate of the MAPP, which was created by the Organization of American States (OAS) specifically to work around the Colombian transition. After understanding its initial mandate and its main alterations over time, I will then analyse the proactive and reactive tendencies it displays on its last published report based on the description of its activities and wording of the document, as opposed to what was initially planned for the institution. Finally, I will analyse the participation of an international institution, the ICC, on the conflict, by presenting its possibilities and controversies. The Court has also been directing its focus towards Colombia and, therefore, I will analyse the Office of the Prosecutor’s (OTP) Reports on Preliminary activities on the country. My conclusion will point out how these institutions are fitting in the Colombian’s national proceedings and to which degree they have fulfilled or extrapolated their initial intentions towards this transitional process.
