Amicus Curiae in historic decision of the Colombian Constitutional Court

  • April 30th, 2024

In 2021, the Clinic participated with an amicus curiae before the Constitutional Court of Colombia whose objective was to study the causes that produce forced internal displacement.
The case concerned a couple of elderly rural people displaced by the overflow of the Riu Bojabá in the municipality of Saravena, Arauca (Colombia).
In a pioneering manner on a global scale, the ruling recognizes them as displaced people, protecting their fundamental rights and those of the neighboring community on the Bojabá River also affected by the overflowing.
