    COLOMBIA: "No Justice? No Peace!" The Women Absent from Colombia's Peace Talks “No Justice? No Peace!” Never has this chant, which I have heard so often at anti-war rallies, felt so real to me as during the last few months observing the ongoing peace negotiations between the Colombian government and the FARC guerrillas. The talks began in October of last year in Oslo, Norway and have continued in Havana ever since. “No Justice? No Peace!” Never has this belief been more real to women peace activists in Colombia, who, despite the fact that not a single woman is at the negotiating table in Havana, are insisting on justice for achieving real and lasting peace in Colombia. Women peace activists in Colombia are putting their demands for peace into action through grassroots justice initiatives.

    COLOMBIA: Missing from Colombia, FARC Peace Negotiations: Women Today, the government of Colombia and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) insurgency group meet in Oslo, Norway, to begin deliberations aimed at concluding a 48-year civil war. The Colombian armed conflict has resulted in the estimated deaths of around 100,000 people, forcibly displaced more than 5 million people, and produced as many forced disappearances as the most egregious cases in Latin America. In addition to the terrible human costs, the violence has facilitated an atmosphere for illicit drug trafficking and paralyzed the nation's economic development.

    INTERNATIONAL: UN Takes New Step to Include Women in International Peace Talks Women often suffer the most in times of conflict, but they are rarely represented in peace negotiations. In fact, no woman has ever been the lead negotiator in U.N.-sponsored peace talks, a situation the United Nations is now seeking to redress through a unique training programme.

    UNITED STATES: Peace in the Land Now that world leaders have addressed the United Nations General Assembly, it's time to think about the role of global peace. The protests have taken place. Once again, some nations have been in the hotspot. There doesn't seem to be agreement amongst all nations – a scenario that seems to repeat itself over and over again.
