 BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) - Colombia's peace process with far-right paramilitaries faced uncertainty Friday after the country's constitutional court rejected key provisions of the deal that human rights groups had criticized as too lenient.
Ernesto Baez, a leading commander of the United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia, known as the AUC, called the ruling "a mortal blow for peace in this country."
Asked whether the paramilitaries were considering rearming, Baez told The Associated Press, "That's not what we want to happen, but all options are possible." He added leaders would meet to discuss how to respond to the ruling.
