The Truth Commission in Colombia, nominated by Left/GUE-NGL, is an institution created under a 2016 peace agreement to end the Colombian civil war in 2016. It aims to establish the facts about the human rights violations during the conflict and to advocate for the rights of millions of its victims. The footage are ©AFP.
