The Inter-American Commission for Human Rights (IACHR) yesterday ratified its 2012 decision to remove Colombia from its human rights "black list."
This is the first time in over a decade that Colombia has not been included in Chapter IV of the report, which is known as the black list, and signals the need of special human rights attention.
Commenting on the most recent IACHR report and its significance for Colombia, Colombia’s ambassador for the Organization of American States (OAS), Andres Gonzalez stated that the task is far from over.
-----------------
The only Latin American countries blacklisted in the report were Cuba, Honduras and Venezuela
