United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon vowed continuous support for the peace process in Colombia after the country rejected an agreement to end a 52-year war with marxist rebels.

“No” voters want assurances that the rebels will hand in cash earned from drug smuggling, spend time in jail, and earn their political future at the ballot box rather than get guaranteed unelected seats in congress.

The UN Security Council will also begin negotiations on a draft resolution that urges Russia and the United States to ensure an immediate truce in Syria’s Aleppo and to “put an end to all military flights over the city.
