339 Corte Constitucional de Colombia When a witness testifies against someone regarding acts that are under the purview of the Special Jurisdiction for Peace in exchange for any type of procedural or punitive benefit, the probative value of his testimony will be contingent on its content being corroborated by other evidence. In proceedings carried out by organs of the Special Jurisdiction for Peace, it will not be permitted to presume that the punishable acts under investigation are of a massive or systematic character, nor will it be permitted to presume that the act was committed as part of a plan or policy, or as part of large- scale commission of such crimes; rather, all this must be proved in accordance with legally produced evidence. Without including procedural norms, the JEP’s justices will adopt, in the exercise of their autonomy, the regulation of the JEP’s functioning and organization, respecting the principles of impartiality, independence, and the guarantees of due process, avoiding any new victimization, and providing all needed support to victims in accordance with what is establishedbyrelevantinternationalstandards. The regulation will specify the functions of the President and Executive Secretary, as well as the relationships between them and the other organs of the JEP; establish a mechanism for the integration of the Section of the Tribunal for Peace that guarantees stability, efficacy, and fulfillment of the JEP’s resolutions and sentences; determine the procedure the Section must follow in the development of its functions; and indicate the mechanisms of accountability for the JEP’s management, under the Executive Secretary’s purview, provided thesemechanisms do not undermine the JEP’s autonomy.
