House Resolution on Colombian Internally Displaced Persons http://justf.org/blog/2010/04/08/house-resolution-colombian-internally-displaced-persons

On March 25th, Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA) and 22 other representatives introduced a resolution in the House of Representatives (H. Res. 1224) calling on the Government of Colombia to address the needs and rights of the country's large population of internally displaced people. The Washington Office on Latin America issued a press release urging support for H.Res. 1224, which explains:

In 2004, the Colombian Constitutional Court declared a State of Unconstitutional Affairs and ordered the Colombian government to address the needs and rights of the displaced population. Despite the Constitutional Court's demands, Colombia's displacement crisis continues and the Colombian government has yet to implement these orders. The resolution led by Representative Hank Johnson (GA) and 22 other co-sponsors calls on the Government of Colombia to fully implement the Constitutional Court's orders.
