FARC Rebels Propose Truth Commission

The Colombian peace talks were resumed in Havana on Sunday, at which time the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) proposed the creation of a truth commission aimed at dismantling paramilitary groups. The commission would also conduct a broader investigation of the forces involved in order to determine where the responsibility lies for violence in the country. Furthermore, the rebels called for the initiation of peace talks between the National Liberation Army (ELN) and the Colombian government due to the fact that the socio-political armed conflict in Colombia is one and the same. teleSUR
