The tension with the UN following its latest report confirms the trivialization of the crisis of social leaders by the Colombian government.
On March 4, 2020, the United Nations Special Rapporteur, Michel Forst, presented in Geneva his report on the situation of human rights defenders in Colombia. The report reveals the country has the highest rates of human rights defenders murders in Latin America. Furthermore, it warns of worrying levels of impunity for these murders (89% of the cases have not been solved).
