安吉拉·科尔东（Angela Cordon）还是个十几岁的少女时，父亲和叔叔就失踪了。
Angela Cordon was only a teenager when her father and uncle disappeared.
他们是哥伦比亚西南部威拉省（Huila）一连串失踪的农民和商人中的两位。
They were among a string of farmers and merchants to go missing in the southwestern department of Huila in Colombia.
首先是她叔叔雷纳尔多·科尔东·埃雷拉（Reynaldo Cordon Herrera）被绑架。他是一名杂货商，2003年1月22日驾驶卡车出行时失踪。
First came her uncle Reynaldo Cordon Herrera's kidnapping. A grocer by trade, he had been travelling by truck on January 22, 2003, when he went missing.
次月，安吉拉的父亲吉列尔莫·科尔东·埃雷拉（Guillermo Cordon Herrera）出发寻找弟弟的下落，沿着哥伦比亚农村地区追踪他的行踪。
The next month, Guillermo Cordon Herrera — Angela's father — set out to discover what happened to his brother, tracing his whereabouts through rural Colombia.
一天晚上，吉列尔莫打电话回家带来消息：他已与他认为对弟弟绑架负责的叛军武装取得了联系。
Guillermo called home one night with news: He had made contact with the rebel fighters he believed to be responsible for his brother's abduction.
那是家人最后一次收到他的消息。他的遗体从未被找到，叔叔的也没找到。
It was the last time his family would ever hear from him. His body was never found, nor was his brother's.
安吉拉的父亲和叔叔是哥伦比亚长达六十年的内部武装冲突中450,664多名遇难者中的两位。
Angela's father and uncle are among the more than 450,664 people killed as part of Colombia's six-decade-long internal armed conflict.
在失踪的23年里，安吉拉和家人一直在寻找关于亲人最后日子的任何线索。“我把一生都献给了这场寻找，”她告诉半岛电视台（Al Jazeera）。
In the 23 years since their disappearance, Angela and her family have sought any information they could find about their loved ones' last days. "I have dedicated my life to this search," she told Al Jazeera.
她特别感谢一个机构帮助她找到了答案：哥伦比亚和平特别司法管辖区（JEP），一个过渡司法法院。
She credits one institution in particular with helping her find answers: Colombia's Special Jurisdiction for Peace (JEP), a transitional justice court.
该法院于2016年作为政府与哥伦比亚革命武装力量（FARC）——当时该国最大的叛军组织——之间和平协议的一部分而设立，负责处理冲突期间发生的罪行的起诉和调查。
Set up in 2016 as part of a peace deal between the government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), the country's largest rebel group at the time, the court handles the prosecution and investigation of crimes committed during the conflict.
但受害者、他们的亲人甚至一些前武装分子都担心，预算削减可能会让JEP元气大伤，导致法院无法履行使命。
But victims, their loved ones and even some former fighters fear that budget cuts could gut JEP, leaving the court unable to fulfil its mission.
本月，右翼总统阿贝拉多·德拉埃斯普里耶拉（Abelardo de la Espriella）政府宣布将实施2027年预算，大幅削减JEP等政府机构的经费。
This month, the administration of right-wing President Abelardo de la Espriella announced it would enact a 2027 budget with dramatic reductions for government bodies like JEP.
对JEP的削减总额约为1810亿哥伦比亚比索，约合5700万美元。
The total cuts to JEP were valued at around 181 billion Colombian pesos, or roughly $57m.
周三，一个参议院委员会还推进了一项法案，拟在2028年3月前彻底撤销JEP，并提议将其职能移交给普通法院系统。
On Wednesday, a Senate committee also advanced a bill to eliminate JEP altogether by March 2028, with a proposal to transfer its functions to the general court system.
然而，安吉拉认为JEP提供了刑事司法系统始终无法给予的交代。她担心，大幅削减法院经费——更不用说将其彻底关闭——可能会使其工作脱轨。
Angela, however, credits JEP with offering closure that the criminal justice system was never able to provide. She worries that slashing the court's funding — much less shuttering it entirely — could derail its work.
通过JEP，安吉拉了解到了父亲和叔叔被关押期间的经历，以及他们被处决的地点。JEP还与前哥伦比亚革命武装力量成员合作，试图找到他们的遗骸。
Through JEP, Angela learned about her father and uncle's time in captivity, as well as the site of their execution. JEP has also worked with former FARC members to try to locate their remains.
“资源减少意味着派往实地寻找答案的任务减少，人道主义人员也会减少，”安吉拉说，她正在为削减做准备。“这很可能意味着我们将永远无法再回到那个地点。”
"Fewer resources mean fewer missions to the field to find answers, less humanitarian personnel," Angela said, bracing for the cuts. "It probably means that we will never be able to return to the site."
