Steve Hege on Restorative Justice and Colombia’s Search for Missing Persons

More than 100,000 Colombians have been forcibly disappeared over the last six decades. Finding their remains is "tremendously healing" and can "repair the social fabric" by giving closure to the victims' loved ones and allowing former armed actors "to regain their own dignity" by contributing to the process, says USIP's Steve Hege.
