Colombia: Sowing the seeds for future violence
The International Secretariat of OMCT requests your urgent action to ensure respect for the right of return to their land for internally displaced persons in Colombia.
Columbia’s legislation must be rapidly corrected in order to ensure the right of internally displaced persons to return to their land. Without such changes, extremely serious future conflicts between returning displaced persons and those who have occupied their land will almost certainly take place and imperil hopes for sustainable peace.
