Havana, Jul 25 (Prensa Latina) The ongoing round of peace talks between the Colombian Government and FARC rebels are currently focused on the establishment of the Commission for Truth, Coexistence and Non-Repetition.

As part of the peace agreement that the parties are negotiating in Havana since 2012, the delegation of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) claimed yesterday for the second consecutive day that the swift implementation of such commission is of the essence.

"If it is already the time to discuss justice, it is essential that the Commission for the Investigation of Truth, Coexistence and Non-Repetition starts working immediately", said Commander Ricardo Tellez considering that truth should be the ground on which a lasting peace should be built.

The Commission will be tasked with the investigation of human rights violations and crimes committed by the parties during the 60 years conflict in Colombia.
