First virtual forum of 2019 with organizations of victims abroad

The Unit for Victims held a forum to answer questions from this population about how to participate in the election of the two representatives by the victims abroad to the National Table of Effective Participation of Victims. Seven organizations of victims abroad have registered and the deadline is March 31.

About 170 people participated in the first virtual forum that allowed to clarify the doubts to the victims who live abroad and who wish to be part of this participation process for the period 2019 – 2021.

The Unit provided clear and timely information to those who attended the event and reiterated the importance of mass participation in this election process. So far, only seven organizations of victims living abroad have registered and the deadline for receipt of nominees goes until March 31.

The forum was a space that allowed interaction with the organizations of victims outside Colombia to explain to the interested parties what the procedure for the registration of victims’ organizations and their postulates is. Among the requirements are: to be included in the Victims Registry (RUV), and to have all the documentation stipulated in the participation protocol.

One of the most frequent concerns expressed by the victims was the difficult access to the consulates to deliver the documentation because, in some cases, they are removed from people’s places of residence. Regarding this concern, the Unit indicated to the participants that they can access the Foreign Ministry’s website to find out which is the nearest consulate and, in the case of not having one nearby, they can expose this difficulty through a message to the e-mail mesasdeparticipacion@defensoria.com.co, with a copy to the nearest Consulate to the host city, clarifying why they cannot go directly to the Consulate for that management.

According to data from the Victims Unit, as of December 31, 2018, 24,475 victims are registered in 45 countries other than Colombia, which represent 0.27% of the people registered in the Victims Registry.
