Mission Statement
The Colombian Caravana believes that without lawyers and legal professionals there can be no justice. If they are compromised by infringement of their right to practise independently in the interests of their clients, then justice itself is also compromised.
Description
The Colombian Caravana is a UK based charity that works to promote access to justice and uphold the rule of law in Colombia. We work together with Colombian human rights lawyers and human rights defenders to ensure respect for human rights. The Colombian Caravana believes that without lawyers and legal professionals there can be no justice. If they are compromised by infringement of their right to practise independently in the interests of their clients, then justice itself is also compromised. The work of Colombian lawyers, particularly human rights lawyers, judges, other legal professionals and human rights defenders ensures access to justice. However, in doing this work individuals are intimidated, threatened and even assassinated.
