UN Reports Ongoing Forced Disappearances in Colombia
The UN Committee on Enforced Disappearances highlighted the grave reality of forced disappearances in Colombia, with tens of thousands still missing. Despite beginning in the 1940s, these cases continue daily across the country, affecting all demographics, particularly children, social leaders, and journalists. The report emphasizes the lack of effective coordination among governmental agencies and legal complexities faced by families seeking help, with numbers of missing persons estimated between 98,000 to 200,000 due to decades of armed conflict.
