Colombia has endured almost four decades of continual brutal armed conflict between the national army, leftist guerrilla
movements, and right-wing paramilitary forces. In response to calls for solidarity from Colombian church and human rights leaders, Upper Midwest Witness for Peace and
Minnesota Veterans for Peace organized a delegation from March 9-21, 2002 to evaluate U.S. aid to this South American country, and to bring
home information about the effects of U.S. policies on the current situation. This is the report from that delegation.
