Colombia's FARC deal could leave many war criminals unpunished

Colombia's Congress has approved a revised peace deal with the rebel group known as FARC. Members of the militants will have 150 days to disarm. 

It's an accord that the country's president, Juan Manuel Santos, hopes will close the chapter on a conflict that has spanned over five decades and has left more that 200,000 people dead. 

For more on what this new deal could mean, Take Two spoke to Cynthia Arnson, director of the Latin American Program at the Wilson Center in Washington, DC.
