Constitutional Court of Colombia

Date: Jan 22, 2004

Summary: Individuals forcibly displaced by armed conflict charged state and local authorities with failing to protect their fundamental rights to human dignity and housing, among others. Court found that rights violations have been taking place on a massive scale and are not attributable to a single authority, but are rather derived from structural problems that affect the State’s entire assistance policy, on account of the insufficiency of the resources allocated to finance such policy, and the precarious institutional capacity to implement it.
