IACHR protective measures for ex-military witness in Colombia false positives case

The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights granted protective measures to a former military member who received threats after testifying to Colombia's Special Jurisdiction for Peace (JEP) about 37 extrajudicial killings, known as 'false positives.' The threats began in 2023 following public disclosure of his testimony. This underscores ongoing risks for witnesses in Colombia's transitional justice process and may signal continued instability in the JEP's work.
