A 90% surcharge for work on Sundays has taken effect in Colombia as of July 1, 2026. This new economic policy aims to protect workers’ rights to rest and potentially impact business operating costs. Simultaneously, the Special Jurisdiction for Peace (JEP) has confirmed sanctions against the final secretariat of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC). These sanctions relate to war crimes and crimes against humanity committed during the decades-long conflict. Details of the sanctions were not specified in this brief report. The report originates from the Colombian news outlet, La Silla Vacía, providing a snapshot of key events occurring on this date. Further developments regarding both the surcharge and the FARC sanctions are expected.
