Colombia Constitutional Court to review JEP appellate authority over high-ranking officials

The Colombian Constitutional Court is reviewing a draft ruling by Magistrate Jorge Enrique Ibáñez that seeks to invalidate the Special Jurisdiction for Peace (JEP) internal rule governing appeals for high-ranking officials. If adopted, the ruling would restrict the JEP's procedural autonomy and potentially alter the legal standing of ongoing cases involving political and military leaders. The outcome remains uncertain pending a full court vote.
