Long wait for justice

 

A Colombian academic estimates that the restitution of land

to those who have been displaced could take 100 years,

not 10 years as envisaged in the legal framework

set up to manage the process.

 

In response, the ex-minister of agriculture pointed to 1500 cases

waiting to be heard. Rulings have been made on 300 claims.

 

With between 3.6 to 5.2 million people having been displaced

(read more here about why there is such variation in the statistics)

I am guessing 100 years may be a conservative estimate.
