Three years after the publication of its last report on the situation of violence against human rights defenders in
Colombia, Amnesty International has again analyzed the context and assessed state actions to address the crisis, particularly with regard to the collective protection of individuals and communities. As of July 2023, Amnesty
International found that, with the arrival of a new government, the Colombian state has adopted emergency measures for the
protection of human rights defenders and taken decisive steps to implement medium- and long-term measures. Nevertheless,
violence continues and the space to defend human rights in Colombia remains limited and fraught with obstacles.
