Colombian Peace Accord: Forgotten regions and defenders under threat

Insights from the Caravana’s Colombia visit: the role of marginalised communities, environmental defenders, and the need for global support.
About this Event

The event is hosted by:
The All-Party Parliamentary Human Rights Group (PHRG) &
The Colombia Caravana (International Legal Network)



Eight years after the signing of Colombia’s 2016 Peace Accord, peace remains fragile, with conflict expanding into eight distinct and violent fronts. Human and environmental rights defenders face relentless threats, with tragic killings becoming an all-too-common reality.


Join us for an impactful discussion on the findings from the Caravana’s recent visit to Colombia, where five critical regions were assessed for severe human and environmental rights violations.


The Caravana’s mission, deeply committed to supporting marginalised communities, has revealed how the ongoing conflict disproportionately targets those defending their lands, cultures, and lives. Human and environmental defenders are at the forefront, battling powerful interests and protecting ecosystems while enduring constant risks to their safety.


This event will highlight the resilience of these brave activists, the challenges they face, and the urgent need for global support to protect their efforts and boost peacebuilding.


Don’t miss this crucial conversation for anyone passionate about human rights, environmental justice, and the future of peace in Colombia.
