A/HRC/31/3/Add.2 which 105, including 18 women, are alleged forced disappearances. In October, the national location commission began revising its registries, with relevant institutions and social organizations, to produce more reliable data. 13. The justice component of the peace agreements generated arduous debate and was a major source of concern for sectors critical of the peace process. The agreement to create a special jurisdiction for peace provides for amnesty and pardon mechanisms and a special judicial procedure on individual criminal responsibility for serious crimes not subject to amnesty, pardon, sanctions or reparations. It would apply differently to guerrillas, State actors and individuals responsible for grave human rights and/or international humanitarian law violations. The special jurisdiction offers a window of opportunity against impunity. OHCHR-Colombia provides advisory assistance regarding ways to overcome the challenges implicit in addressing such a wide range of violations. The agreement provides only a general outline and its implementation requires greater definition with respect to, among other things, the specific acts to be prosecuted, the applicable legal framework and the procedures for strategic orientation. Shortly after publishing the agreement, the President of the Republic unilaterally announced how it would apply to State and private actors. 14. Between August and November, the country experienced the least intense offensive actions in 50 years of armed conflict, owing to confidence-building measures such as the unilateral ceasefire by FARC-EP and the Government’s de-escalation of offensive operations. OHCHR-Colombia observed that the peace negotiations prevented many human rights violations.

The Ombudsperson’s Office documented displacement, social control, threats, extortion and restrictions of movement in various departments. 15. The High Commissioner welcomes the agreement of 7 March on mine and ordnance clearing. The Government and FARC-EP initiated a pilot mine clearing plan in Briceño, Antioquia, with support from the United Nations Mine Action Service. The deactivation of 33 explosive artefacts and the clearing of 14,000 square metres of land was announced. A second phase began in Mesetas, Meta. During 2015, the Government reported 222 victims of mines and other artefacts; 31 of those died. A total of 66 of the victims were civilians, including 12 women and 27 children. 16. In November, the Government announced unilateral measures on behalf of 106 imprisoned FARC-EP members, including the pardoning of 30 members convicted of rebellion and a pilot programme for return to civilian life with psychosocial and health support and access to education and job training. OHCHR-Colombia provides the Government with advisory support on improving institutional coordination in these processes. 17. The High Commissioner welcomes the announcement that FARC-EP will end child recruitment and release children under 15 years of age from its ranks. A child separation programme must be developed rapidly, guaranteeing respect for girls’ rights and an ethnically sensitive approach. 18. The High Commissioner supports the recognition of responsibility by all those responsible for human rights violations as part of the peace process. On 6 November, 30 years after the extrajudicial executions and disappearances resulting from the operation of the security forces to retake the Palace of Justice, the State recognized its responsibility, in 5
