On 28 March, the Colombian guerrilla group ELN announced a unilateral cessation of activities during the month of April as a humanitarian gesture in light of the crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. This announcement followed the appeal made to that effect by UN Secretary-General António Guterres. The ceasefire officially ended on Thursday 30 April.
In view of this situation, ICIP and the Fundación Ideas para la Paz (Ideas for Peace Foundation) of Colombia have developed infographics that analyze the background of the ceasefire, its implications and possible future scenarios for the country.
