Francisco de Roux, Julieta Lemaitre, Bruce Mac Master and Marcela Meléndez in conversation with María Jimena Duzán

How much does peace cost in a country that has paid so much for war? After decades of pain, now is the moment to invest —economically, socially and morally— in building a sustainable and lasting peace. Francisco de Roux, former Chair of the Truth Commission, reflects on the ethical legacy of reconciliation; Julieta Lemaitre, JEP magistrate, analyses the challenges of transitional law; Bruce Mac Master, President of the ANDI, calls on the business community to join the peace process; and Marcela Meléndez analyses the social breaches that have resulted from the conflict, and which have not yet healed.

All events on Sunday, January 1st will be free for people with ID from the department of Bolívar. Complimentary tickets can be requested —up to capacity— at the box office of the Hay Festival (Centro de Convenciones) showing your identification on the same day the event is taking place.
