INVITATION TO WEBINAR: Human Rights Defenders in Colombia: Protective Mechanisms
Colombia remains one of the most dangerous countries in the world for human rights defenders. Nearly three decades after the assassination of Eduardo Umaña Mendoza, one key question remains: why are existing protection mechanisms still insufficient?
This session provides a focused overview of collective and self-protection mechanisms that deserve greater visibility and strengthening, bringing together EU representatives, legal experts, and community leaders to bridge the gap between international frameworks and on-the-ground realities.
📅 April 22
🕘 09:00–10:30 (Colombia) | 16:00–17:30 (Belgium)
