Permanent Assembly of the Civil Society for Peace
The Permanent Assembly of the Civil Society for Peace is a space in which different civil society organizations come together to take part in discussions based on pedagogy and a culture for peace, as well as in the search for a political and negotiated solution to the armed conflict of the country. The Assembly was created in 1996 and has since assembled in a plural manner in at least four plenary sessions, involving organizations from various parts of the country and international delegates from the human rights, women, youth, the Catholic Church, evangelical churches, trade unions, rural poor, indigenous people, and LGBTI.
