The new peace accord could give immunity to thousands of guerilla fighters. According to one expert, that could lead some civilians to turn vigilante.

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.
