Weapons Neutralized in Colombia as Part of Peace Agreement

Weapons laid down by the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC-EP) are de-activated as part of the peace agreement between the Government of Colombia and FARC-EP. The arms laydown process – a major component in the peace agreement – includes five distinct steps including: registration and identification of weapons, monitoring and verification of the holding of weapons, reception and storage of arms, neutralization of arms (to ensure that they will never again be used as firearms), and extraction of arms from camps.
UN International Observers take weapons from storoage containers to start the deactivation process.
