\tLitigation
\n\t<\/h4>\n

We present and follow up on our own cases before the high courts of Colombia and other countries (from Brazil and Peru to Kenya and India), selecting issues in coordination with our issue-based teams.<\/p>\n

We intervene, make an appearance\u00a0as an interested third party, or serve as amicus curiae in existing processes, either independently, in conjunction with similar organizations, or by invitation of the Court.<\/p>\n

Internationally, we intervene in processes or cases before\u00a0the Inter-American Court and the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights and, where relevant, in foreign domestic cases that have an international impact.<\/p>\n

\n The long wait of the JEP ahead of the decisions of the Constitutional Court and Congress<\/a> <\/h3>\n
\n By Dejusticia<\/a> | Sep 26, 2017
\n <\/h5>\n

In the last six months civil society organizations, such as Dejusticia, have called on both institutions to give free rein to the norms that consolidate the Special Jurisdiction for Peace.<\/p>\n

\n Case of indigenous people of Bojay\u00e1 who could not vote in the plebiscite is about to reach the Court<\/a> <\/h3>\n
\n By Mauricio Albarrac\u00edn<\/a>, Maryluz Barrag\u00e1n<\/a> | Sep 14, 2017
\n <\/h5>\n

Through a tutela, a group of Ember\u00e1 claimed their rights to political participation and equality, because their economic situation and how far they live made it impossible for them to move to endorse the Peace Agreement. Dejusticia, human rights organizations, and indigenous leaders asked the High Court to review the case.

\n <\/h5>\n

The environmental crisis of this ecosystem led fishermen to pursue a legal battle that reached the High Court. In this intervention, we support their demand that environmental authorities take urgent measures to stop the disaster and thus, protect their rights to healthy environment, dignified life and work.

\n Gender focus in rural reform is important but insufficient<\/a> <\/h3>\n
\n By Ana Jimena Bautista<\/a> | Aug 25, 2017
\n <\/h5>\n

The Gender-in-Peace Working Group -GPAZ, a group of which Dejusticia is a member, took part in the Public Hearing convened by the Constitutional Court, within the framework of the informal constitutional review of Decree 902 of 2017 “to facilitate the implementation of the Comprehensive Rural Reform contemplated in the Final Land Agreement, specifically the procedure for access and formalization and the Land Fund.”

\n <\/h5>\n

We intervened to support a tutela that requires the government to pave the
\nQuibd\u00f3-Medell\u00edn and Quibd\u00f3-Pereira roads: a promise that has historically been unfulfilled.

\n By C\u00e9sar Rodr\u00edguez Garavito<\/a> | Jul 26, 2017
\n <\/h5>\n

C\u00e9sar Rodr\u00edguez defended that the Comprehensive System of Truth, Justice, Reparation and Guarantees of Non-Repetition is in line with the Constitution. Regarding penalties, he affirmed that international law discusses effective sanctions, not imprisonment.<\/p>\n

\n The reform that gives stability and legal certainty to the Peace Agreement is constitutional<\/a> <\/h3>\n
\n By C\u00e9sar Rodr\u00edguez Garavito<\/a>, Rodrigo Uprimny Yepes<\/a>, Diana Isabel G\u00fciza G\u00f3mez<\/a> | Jul 26, 2017

\n <\/h5>\n

In an intervention before the Constitutional Court, Dejusticia argued that this norm conforms to the Constitution. However, the organization warned that the deadline to determine the beneficiaries should be reconsidered because it could leave out a group of peasants living in poverty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
