On November 22, the Peace Brigades International-Colombia Project posted on social media:
“In the context of the humanitarian crisis that has been unfolding in Catatumbo since January 2025, on 12, 13 and 14 November we accompanied ASCAMCAT during the Verification Commission in the villages of Versalles, Beltrania, Campo Seis (in the municipality of Tibú) and in the district of Filo Gringo (municipality of El Tarra).
During the two days of the Commission, serious human rights violations and breaches of international humanitarian law (IHL) were observed.
PBI continues to support ASCAMCAT in its call for respect for the seven minimum humanitarian standards in the Catatumbo region and for effective measures to be taken to protect civil society and guarantee access to basic services.”
PBI-Canada also posted about this on November 14 in our article titled: PBI-Colombia accompanies the Campesina Association of Catatumbo (ASCAMCAT) on Humanitarian Verification Mission.
That article was based on social media posts by ASCAMCAT, Vivamos Humanos and PBI-Colombia on Instagram.
We continue to follow this.
