The peace community of San José de Apartadó was founded in 1996, after particularly hard military attacks against the peasants. They came from their farmyards to gather in the centre of San José and decided to defend themselves by political means. On 23 March 1997, by the help of the bishop of Apartadó Isaias Duarte Cansino, they constituted themselves a peace community. They declared to be neutral in the armed conflict. That implied the self commitment to not work with any armed actors, neither the army, the paramilitaries or the guerilla.
