ABSTRACT

The crisis product of Covid-19 in Colombia has affected a broad range of human rights, including the ability of people to access justice in a timely and effective manner.

It will describe how the Colombian State adopts measures to prevent human rights and fundamental freedoms from being limited, and, in this way, the State must continue to uphold and protect international human rights standards.
