International organizations announce oversight of Uribe case


by Adriaan Alsema January 26, 2020

Lawyers Without Borders and three other organizations announced they have formed a “support group” to oversee the investigation of Colombia’s Supreme Court against former President Alvaro Uribe.

The organizations said they found it “appropriate to set up an international support group” in response to “information that has been made public by the media.”

Members of the international support group
  • Lawyers Without Borders (United States)
  • Spanish Advocacy Foundation (Spain)
  • International Observatory for Advocacy at Risk (France)
  • Washington Office on Latin America (United States)
