Drug policy remains a central issue in Colombia’s efforts to achieve lasting peace. The briefing “Colombia in Context PolicyBrief 1”, provided by Viso Mutop, offers a critical analysis of the Colombian government’s current strategy, its progress, limitations, and structural challenges.

The document advocates for a shift from a punitive approach to one that prioritizes human rights, territorial development, and community participation. Despite good intentions, efforts such as crop substitution and local peacebuilding continue to face major institutional and legal hurdles.

📄 This publication was generously shared by Viso Mutop with the Colombia Human Rights Network as an informative tool to deepen understanding and support advocacy for communities affected by violence and marginalization.
