La ONU como garante en la implementación de los mecanismos de verificación del proceso de paz (2016-2022)

Abstract

This research is carried out within the framework of the Master's Program in Peace Education at the Francisco José de Caldas District University. It critically analyzes the role of the United Nations (UN) as a guarantor in the implementation of the Peace Agreement (2016-2022). This thesis investigates how the Verification Mission exercised its mandate and what lessons have been learned for Peace Education, through objectives that seek to analyze its reports, characterize their impact, and draw pedagogical lessons. It is based on a qualitative documentary analysis methodology, which allows for the examination and evaluation of UN quarterly reports, as well as other official documents triangulated with the theoretical framework of peace studies and the documents and reports of organizations dedicated to these academic productions. In tracing the findings, the analysis of the UN as a guarantor promoting a specific peace project—the liberal peace—stands out, creating a pedagogical gap, since it lacks the mandate to measure and monitor the fundamental transformation of the factors of structural and cultural violence that have perpetuated the conflict and impeded progress toward sustainable peace. Thus, the fundamental contribution of this thesis to peace studies is precisely the deconstruction of this guarantee model through its analysis and the proposal of an approach with pedagogical guarantees in order to integrate the culture of peace as a verifiable pillar.
