The socio-economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic have deepened pre-existing global inequalities and increased pressure on people in vulnerable situations. This has had a particular impact on human rights and democracy cooperation between the European Union (EU) and Colombia. Although priorities have been redefined, political and financial cooperation for the implementation of the Peace Agreement[1] continues to be a priority on the European agenda.

[1] This refers to the Final agreement for the termination of the conflict and the construction of a stable and lasting peace signed in 2016 between the Colombian State and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia – People’s Army (FARC-EP).
