Juan Esteban Ugarriza

Juan Esteban Ugarriza is an expert in conflict resolution and has been vocal about the challenges facing Colombia's peace process. He emphasizes the need for a coherent peace policy, arguing that the current 'total peace' slogan lacks substance and has allowed illegal armed groups to strengthen their positions. Ugarriza believes that without military pressure, these groups have little incentive to negotiate in good faith or disarm.
