"Security forces: police and military reforms"

Briefing of the Human Rights Coordination Colombia

The police and military in Colombia are still responsible for numerous serious human rights violations - both inside and outside the armed conflict. Previous governments have avoided real reforms of the security sector.
Since 2021, the German government has been implementing two cooperation programmes with the police and military in Colombia. The projects must be strictly linked to binding human rights requirements. This publication describes the human rights situation on the ground and provides concrete recommendations for action for German and Colombian policymakers.

The subscribing organisations are members of the German Human Rights Coordination Colombia (MRKK).
