For more than four decades, Colombians have suffered torture, displacement, disappearance and general misery in the hands of the military and the paramilitary politics.

More than 200 social and mass organizations have called for a world-wide campaign for peace and justice in Colombia. On 6th March victims and supporters will participate in International Action in a passionate plea for peace, a political solution to the forty year long, social and armed conflict and for the humanitarian exchange of prisoners of war.
