Callie Ward and Joe Wager sit down with Diana Guzmán Rodríguez to discuss the 2016 Colombian Final Peace Agreement. Diana contextualizes the situation, discusses the multiple facets of the agreement, and lays out challenges to its implementation. As a massively complex negotiation, the Agreement encompasses myriad human-rights issues and demands that we understand it within a global context.
