CRISIS IN COLOMBIA
DIARY OF A HUMAN RIGHTS INVESTIGATION


As fighting in Colombia's more than 30-year conflict intensifies, innocent civilians increasingly fall victim to paramilitary violence. Although the Colombian government denies it, Human Rights Watch has collected plentiful and convincing evidence of continuing close ties between paramilitary forces and the Colombian military, ties which include the military's direct support for and collaboration with paramilitaries. The following diary excerpts describe the terrible human cost of the conflict in Colombia, and of the Colombian government's failure to break the military-paramilitary links.
