This article discusses the rules on command responsibility issued within theimplementation of the Peace Agreement between the Colombian Government andthe guerrilla group FARC-EP. The objective is to analyse the meaning of those rules,considering the judgment of the Appeals Chamber of the International Criminal Court inthe Bemba case, decided in June 2018. This text argues that those rules on commandresponsibility cannot be an independent basis for criminal liability, and therefore,applying the ordinary Colombian Criminal Law or International Criminal Law is stillnecessary. Those rules on command responsibility should facilitate the articulationof the international and domestic levels. However, they generate some interpretivedifficulties and exacerbate the tensions on this topic between these two normativelevels.
