and innovative comprehensive peace agreements in history. One explanation for its pioneering character is the inclusion of an Ethnic Chapter, which contains essential considerations on the historical, structural, and disproportionate victimization that ethnic peoples suffered in the context of the Colombian armed conflict. This chapter in the peace agreement also includes principles, safeguards, and measures that seek to ensure non-regression of enjoyment of ethnic people’s rights, such as territorial rights, legal recognition and protection over resources, and prior, free, and informed consultation. This is the first report on the state of implementation of the transversal ethnic perspective conducted by the Kroc Institute’s Barometer Initiative, and it covers the period between November 2016 and May 2020. This report describes both the quantitative analysis designed by the Kroc Institute’s Peace Accords Matrix (PAM) program as well as the qualitative analysis of the prioritized areas for implementation of the ethnic approach. The quantitative analysis is based on an ethnic matrix that is part of PAM’s methodology for the Barometer Initiative in Colombia. This ethnic matrix is composed of 80 commitments including 13 derived from the Ethnic Chapter in the Agreement. Although the transversal ethnic approach can be analyzed through the 578 commitments of the general matrix, these 80 were prioritized following a series of criteria: • the commitments explicitly state that their implementation must include a “differential” or “ethnic” perspective; • the commitments
