While progress has been made on some fronts, many promises of Colombia's peace deal with FARC rebels have yet to be fulfilled.

The Colombian government has asked the UN Security Council to extend for another year its supervision of the fragile 2016 peace accord with FARC rebels that ended a half century of armed conflict.
