1997 Colombian referendum

I promise to be a builder of Peace and Social Justice, to protect life and to reject all violent actions and accept the Children's Mandate for Peace.

I demand that the actors in the armed conflict : NO MORE WAR : resolve the armed conflict peacefully NO MORE ATROCITIES : respect International Humanitarian Law.

An unofficial referendum on "peace, life and liberty" was held in Colombia on 26 October 1997, alongside regional and departmental elections.

[1] The referendum was organised as a private initiative, but the ballots were counted by the electoral authorities.

[1] Whilst the referendum and elections were boycotted in rural areas due to pressure from guerrilla groups, urban voters voted heavily in favour,[2] with over 90% of voters supporting the proposal.
