This was reiterated by Lorena Mesa, Deputy Director General of the entity, during the closing session of the UN Peacebuilding Commission, whose president, Guillermo Fernández de Soto, said that full peace “demands security, development and respect for humans".

The deputy director of the Victims Unit, Lorena Mesa, recalled from the capital of Bolivar, that her entity continues to strongly support the implementation of peace and the reparation of victims.

"Through the processes of Collective Reparation, we managed to rebuild the social fabric and we managed to promote a Women's Foundation that through the fabric of hats have been able to establish and bring daily sustenance to their home", Mesa explained before national government delegates, the business community and the international community gathered in the historic center of Cartagena.

During the closing of the work of the UN Peacebuilding Commission, its president, the former chancellor, Guillermo Fernández de Soto, said that “it is not simply to advance in the implementation, but to think about the long term of a country, because to achieve the sustainable peace, it is necessary to have security, to have development and of course, to have respect for human beings, which is the essence of democracy”.

"That thought, that philosophy is what moves the Peacebuilding Commission, and that coincides with what Mr. President Iván Duque has explained about Peace with Legality," he said.

Fernández de Soto insisted that peacebuilding really is an important part of his work. "We were able to appreciate what we do in terms of training and education; therefore, more resources are needed so that the processes that move from peace to peacebuilding can really be carried out", he said.

He also announced that the Consolidation Commission will examine how it mobilizes with the World Bank, with the Inter-American Development Bank, to make possible more strategic alliances and obtain more resources for training, education and institutional strengthening issues, as Colombia is doing. "So that resources for peace building are never lacking".
