Colombia congress adopts amnesty for rebels under peace pact BOGOTA, Colombia – Both houses of Colombia's congress have approved legislation on amnesty for leftist rebels under the government's peace accord with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia to end a half century of conflict. The measure covers most offenses committed by fighters but it does not absolve any guerrillas who committed war crimes or human rights violations during a war that caused more than 220,000 deaths and displaced nearly 6 million Colombians. The Chamber of Deputies passed the measure Wednesday morning, and the Senate followed suit later in the day. Amnesty was a key step in implementing the peace deal, which calls for FARC fighters to begin disarming at U.N.-monitored camps across Colombia. Officials said Wednesday that 27 demobilization sites are under construction. www.foxnews.com/world/2016/12/28/colombia-congress-adopts-amnesty-for-rebels-under-peace-pact.html
