Recognizing and honoring the important work that Colombia's Constitutional Court has done on behalf of Colombia's internally displaced persons, especially indigenous peoples, Afro-Colombians, and women.
Summary
House Resolution 1224 is a non-binding measure that formally recognizes the efforts of Colombia’s Constitutional Court to protect the rights of people forced from their homes by internal conflict, specifically focusing on indigenous groups, Afro-Colombians, and women. The resolution calls on the Colombian government to fully carry out the court's legal orders regarding these displaced populations. While it does not change U.S. law, it signals that the U.S. Congress considers Colombia’s human rights progress a key factor when making future decisions about diplomatic relations and foreign aid.
