Report says Colombian government not doing enough to restore land to displaced farmers following legislation passed in 2011
The Colombian government is making "depressingly slow" progress in enacting legislation to return land to more than 6 million people who were forcibly displaced in the country's decades-long civil war, a human rights group has warned.
Security forces and rebel paramilitary groups have illegally seized about 8m hectares (20m acres) of land, displacing roughly 220,000 people in 2013 alone, according to "A land title is not enough: ensuring sustainable land restitution in Colombia" (pdf), a report released on 27 November by Amnesty International.
