In December 2013, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights found the Colombian State guilty of the mass forced displacement of afro-descendent communities resulting from ‘Operation Black September’ and ‘Operation Genesis’. More than 70 people were also murdered or disappeared during the subsequent militarization of the Lower Atrato.
PBI accompanied lawyers from the Inter-Church Justice and Peace Commission, who brought the case to the Inter-American Court.
