Colombian experts are working on a proposal for the new transitional justice to investigate the ways in which the environment and its caretakers have been affected by violence.
What if Colombia’s Special Peace Jurisdiction and Truth Commission investigate the environmental damages caused by conflict, from attacks on pipelines to the murder of park rangers? Environmental lawyers think that there is a unique opportunity today to measure the environmental cost of violence in the national parks. They are now persuading the transitional justice system to open such a case.
