“THE COLOMBIA CARAVANA:\u00a0Supporting Human Rights Lawyers and Access to Justice in Colombia”<\/p>\n

“Sin abogados, no hay justicia.\u201d
\n<\/strong>(\u201cWithout lawyers, there is no justice.\u201d)<\/p>\n

The Colombia Caravana is a project\u00a0of international lawyers and judges that monitors the human rights abuses and persecution experienced by legal professionals in Colombia. The Caravana first visited Colombia in 2008 at the invitation of the Association of Defence Lawyers, an umbrella organisation for Colombian human rights lawyers. Lawyers and legal professionals from Europe, Canada and Latin America travelled to Colombia to meet with and receive testimony from lawyers and other human rights defenders at risk of various forms of attack because of their work in 2008, 2010 and 2012.<\/p>\n

Learn more about the situation for lawyers, judges and human rights defenders in Colombia and about international efforts to support these important actors\u00a0and\u00a0improve access to\u00a0justice in Colombia.<\/p>\n
