The covered photograph of an assassinated member of the Patriotic Union political party, which was launched by Colombia's Revolutionary Armed Forces (FARC), sits on a table during an event in honor of the victims of the nation's armed conflict in Bogota, Colombia, Oct. 18, 2012. Colombian government and rebel negotiators formally launched peace talks aimed at ending the South American nation's complex, nearly half-century-old conflict.
