It's Justice, Let's Not Be Silly

TL;DR

Criminal justice is an untried, effective peace and security policy for Colombia.
Past military containment and judicial repression were not viable due to intimidation and armed group strength.
Peace negotiations in the past were due to ideological and financial exhaustion of guerrillas, not judicial success.
Previous peace agreements offered pardon instead of justice for victims, and did not reduce violence from organized crime.
New conditions allow for effective criminal justice: protected judges, technology, and a Congress without armed group influence.
The main obstacle is the government's lack of will to dismantle organized crime.
The most effective solution for security is justice for criminals, not negotiation.
