Near Colombia’s border with Panama…evidence of a pattern of economic interests fuelling forced displacement and other human rights violations…has triggered investigations by the Attorney-General’s Office of one of the African palm companies for having commissioned forced displacement and other human rights violations from paramilitary groups…This report seeks to disentangle some of the complexities and challenges arising from the situation and to formulate recommendations…While representatives have not admitted collaborating with or receiving support from paramilitary groups…there is sufficient evidence to suggest that companies have taken advantage of the violent displacements…to encroach on collective land…[and] justify concerns of a concerted strategy by paramilitary leaders and plantation owners to clear the land...Authorities investigating the violations…have been subjected to pressure not to block the plantations’ expansion.
