La Coordinacion Colombia – Europa – Estados Unidos (CCEEU)

The Colombia-Europe-United States Coordination (CCEEU) is a coalition of 221 Colombian organizations working to promote, raise awareness about, and defend human rights. It is an autonomous, broad-based, and diverse platform for collaboration and shared work among nongovernmental organizations and social organizations from different regions of the country. With the support of international solidarity organizations, the CCEEU complements the work and efforts of NGOs in international relations and human rights advocacy.

La Plataforma Colombiana de Derechos Humanos, Democracia y Desarrollo

The Colombian Platform for Human Rights, Democracy, and Development is conceived as a pluralistic, convergent, and autonomous network of more than 100 social, community, and nongovernmental organizations from across the country, which seeks to promote strategic agreements among the various social and institutional actors working to build a model of development based on the deepening of democracy and the promotion and comprehensive respect for human rights.

La Alianza

The Alliance of Social and Related Organizations for International Cooperation for Peace and Democracy in Colombia is a platform made up of 125 organizations and created on the basis of the joint document “A Political Solution and Democracy Are the Way Forward,” presented at the London Conference in July 2003. The Alliance brings together ten major sectors of Colombian society: six broad social sectors with a presence in all regions of the country (labor unions, indigenous organizations, peasant organizations, Afro-Colombian organizations, the community action committees movement, and women’s organizations) and four sectors of specialized organizations (development, environmental, peace initiatives, and human rights).

Our solidarity is universal.

We are deeply concerned about all victims of armed conflict, repression and violence around the world — from Sudan to Syria, including the persecution of the Rohingya and so many other crises that often receive less international attention than they deserve. Each of these situations calls for solidarity, remembrance, justice and action.

However, we have decided to specifically highlight the message ‘Stop Genocide in Palestine’ because what is happening in Palestine represents not only a human tragedy of enormous magnitude, but also a direct challenge to the fundamental principles of international humanitarian law and to the rules-based international system itself. The indifference and complicity of much of the international community in the face of the apartheid regime imposed by the Israeli government on the Palestinian people represent one of the greatest moral and political contradictions of our time.

The persistent violation of essential norms — such as the protection of the civilian population, the prohibition of collective punishment and respect for proportionality in the use of force — not only has devastating consequences for the Palestinian population, but also erodes the global mechanisms designed to limit the power of states and prevent abuses.

When these rules are repeatedly breached without any effective consequences, the framework that protects all populations in conflict situations, anywhere in the world, is weakened. Therefore, speaking out in this case does not mean ignoring other forms of suffering, but rather emphasising the urgency of defending an international order which, if it collapses, leaves everyone in a more vulnerable position.

Drawing attention to this situation is, therefore, an act consistent with the universal values we uphold: the protection of life, human dignity and respect for international law, without exception.
