The Colombian government and Farc rebels are set to sign a peace deal, although the terms of the deal are subject to a referendum:
The Colombian government and left-wing Farc rebels are set to sign a historic agreement deal that formally brings an end to 52 years of civil war. The last of the major Cold War conflicts killed 260,000 people and left six million internally displaced. President Juan Manuel Santos and rebel leader Timoleon Jimenez, known as Timochenko, will use a pen made from a bullet to sign the deal on Monday.
[...] Under the deal, the Farc will be relaunched as a political party. The agreement will be put to Colombian voters in a popular vote on 2 October. It comes after four years of talks in Havana, Cuba, between President Santos and Timochenko, The pair will shake hands on Colombian soil for the first time.
Controversially, it will allow rebels to avoid prosecution for various war crimes so long as they admit to committing offenses.

There's been plenty of itchy fingers, though, like the Axe Murder Incident [wikipedia.org] which is as incredible as it sounds.
More recently was the sinking of ROKS Cheonan [wikipedia.org] although whether North Korea was responsible is in dispute.
