Transitional Local Zones for Normalisation. (TLZNs) These aim to guarantee the BDCCH and LA and to initiate the preparatory process for the economic, political and social reincorporation of the FARC-EP structures into civilian life in accordance with their interests, as established in Item 3, sub-item 2, of the General Agreement, and the transition to legal status. These Zones are transitional, temporary and territorial-based, and are defined, delimited and pre-agreed by the National Government and the FARC-EP, with monitoring and verification by the MVM which will have local monitoring teams for each of said TLZNs. The TLZNs are in locations selected by mutual agreement and are accessible via road or river; their boundaries correspond to those of the rural settlement (vereda) where they are located, and they may be extended or reduced by mutual agreement, depending on the size of the settlement where they are located. They are of a reasonable size to allow monitoring and verification by the MVM and compliance with the objectives of the TLZNs, geographical features or characteristics of the terrain serving as references. In implementation of the BDCCH and LA agreement, the Colombian State Armed Forces and the FARC-EP alike must comply with the rules governing the BDCCH and LA and also other chapters of and protocols to the BDCCH and LA Agreement. The MVM has unlimited access to the TLZNs stipulated in Annex X to this agreement and to units of the Colombian State Armed Forces seconded for the arrangements stipulated in Annex Y to this Agreement. To guarantee compliance with this Agreement, ongoing communication shall be set up between the MVM and the delegates appointed by the National Government and the FARC-EP. Whilst the TLZNs are in operation, the FARC-EP will be answerable for their combatants inside those Zones. FARC-EP combatants shall leave the camps unarmed and in civilian clothing. Once FARC-EP members are in the TLZNs, the National Government will suspend orders to capture all members of the FARC-EP found inside said the said Zones, after delivery from the FARC-EP of a list of their members present in each TLZN. Members of the FARC-EP who, under the Amnesty Law, have benefited from release from prison will, if they so desire, be integrated in said Zones in order to continue the process of reincorporation into civilian life. To this end, accommodation outside of the camps shall be organised inside the TLZNs. During the term of the BDCCH and LV agreement, the FARC-EP will appoint a group of 60 of their members (men and women) who can, at national level, be mobilised to fulfil tasks in connection with the Peace Accord. Likewise, for each TLZN, the FARC-EP will appoint a group of 10 of their members who, at municipal and departmental level, can be mobilised to fulfil tasks in connection with the Peace Accord. For the purposes of these movements, FARC-EP members will benefit from the security measures granted by the National Government, for which purpose there will be two protection teams per Zone to cover such movements. Departures from the Zones will be the joint responsibility of FARC-EP commanders. The FARC-EP members appointed for the tasks mentioned in the above paragraph must previously have stored their weapons in containers subject to IC-MVM verification. Any FARC-EP member wishing to leave a TLZN to receive emergency medical attention or specialist medical treatment not available within a TLZN must also store any weapons in containers. The National Government and the FARC-EP are committed to this Agreement being implemented without limiting in any way the normal functioning of the non-armed civilian authorities, of economic, political and social activity in the regions, of life in communities, in the exercising of their rights and also in those of such communal, social and political organisations as are present across the country's territories. Full effectiveness of the rule of law within the TLZNs is guaranteed and for that purpose the functioning of the civilian authorities will be maintained without restriction. The (non-armed) civilian authorities present in the Zones will remain and will continue to carry on their functions therein, notwithstanding that which is agreed in the BDCCH. The TLZNs may not be used for political demonstrations. The non-armed civilian authorities may enter the TLZNs without restriction on a permanent basis, except the area of the camps where the FARC-EP structures are located. Each TLZN has a reception area for attending to any persons who might arrive. No members of the civilian population may be present in said camps or enter said camps at any time. For the duration of the TLZNs, permission for the civilian population within them to carry and possess weapons is suspended. The MVM is tasked with monitoring and verifying compliance with the protocols agreed by the National Government and the FARC-EP for the TLZNs and units of the Colombian State Armed Forces seconded for the arrangements stipulated in Annex Y to this Agreement. Should any act be committed or circumstance arise within a TLZN that requires the presence of the National Police, or any other armed authority of the state, the MVM will be informed in order that it might coordinate entry in accordance with the protocols agreed by the National Government and the FARC-EP. The number of camps within each TLZN agreed by the National Government and the FARC-EP is determined by the conditions of the terrain and the number of combatants within it. In any event, camps will be located such that the MVM is able to fulfil its function of monitoring and verifying the BDCCH and LA agreement. In implementing the preparatory process for the reincorporation of its combatants into civilian life, the FARC-EP may, in coordination with the National Government, provide FARC-EP members within the TLZNs with any type of training in productive tasks and with instruction to raise their basic primary, secondary or technical level of education, in accordance with their own interests. Meanwhile, within the TLZNs, the National Government, in agreement with the FARC-EP, will implement measures and activities in preparation for reincorporation and also other activities that are necessary to facilitate the transition of the FARC-EP to legal status and to guarantee well- being in the TLZNs, which may include, inter alia, health services, ID-issuance days, and other activities in preparation for reincorporation. The MVM will set up a local headquarters for each TLZN in a location that enables it to fulfil its functions efficiently and effectively.
