Last year, Colombia's Public Advocate recorded over 400 massacres. Most massacres were
perpetrated by paramilitaries working with the tacit acquiescence or open support of the
Colombian Army. Guerrillas also committed massacres. As a result, over 1.5 million Colombians
are forcibly displaced, nearly double the number of Kosovars who fled at the height of Serbian
terror.
