Colombia's Congress on Wednesday approved a peace deal between the government and the rebel group known as FARC to end more than 50 years of war.
The lower house voted 130-0 in favor of the agreement, a day after members of the Senate backed it by a margin of 75-0.
Members of former President Alvaro Uribe's party walked out in protest in both chambers. He has criticized the peace deal as being too lenient on FARC members, particularly the group's leadership, as well as the sole authority given to lawmakers to approve this version instead of putting approval to a national referendum.
A previous version failed a referendum last month, prompting more than 50 changes to the document.
Congressional approval sets off a six-month process during which the more than 7,000 FARC rebels will hand over their weapons.
"Tomorrow a new era begins," said President Juan Manuel Santos, who won the Nobel Peace Prize last month for his efforts to negotiate the truce. Peace negotiations have stretched on for four years in the effort to end the conflict that has killed more than 220,000 people and displaced millions.
哥伦比亚国会星期三批准了政府与反政府武装组织-哥伦比亚革命武装力量的和平协议,结束长达50多年的武装冲突。
哥伦比亚国会众议院星期三以130票赞成零票反对通过协议,而参议院星期二就以75比零票通过。
前总统乌里韦领导的政党成员在参、众两院的投票中都中途退场以示抗议。乌里韦批评和平协议对哥伦比亚革命武装力量成员,特别是领导层过于宽大,而且协议只需国会通过,不用再进行全民公决。
此前一版的和平协议在上个月哥伦比亚全民公决中被否决,导致政府与反政府力量重新谈判,进行了50多项改动。协议得到国会批准后,7千多名哥伦比亚革命武装力量成员将在随后的六个月里交出武器。
哥伦比亚总统桑托斯说:“明天将开始一个新时代。”桑托斯上个月由于推动和平协议的努力而获得了诺贝尔和平奖。双方为结束这场导致22万多人丧生,数百万人流离失所的武装冲突进行了长达四年的和平谈判。
