The Colombian Commission of Jurists is a non-governmental human rights organization, with consultative status before the United Nations, a subsidiary of the International Commission of Jurists (based in Geneva), and the Andean Commission of Jurists (based in Lima).

We started our activities on May 2, 1988 and obtained legal status by resolution 1060 of August 18, 1988 from the Mayor of Bogotá. In accordance with our mandate, we seek through legal means, and in accordance with the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations, the full respect in Colombia of human, civil and political, economic, social and cultural rights, as well as the humanitarian law, understood in an indivisible and interdependent way, and we also strive for the development of international norms, mechanisms and institutions that protect human rights throughout the world. We conceive human rights as a value in itself, which cannot be subordinated to other purposes.
