Comisión Intereclesial De Justicia Y Paz

What Comisión Intereclesial De Justicia Y Paz does

Comisión Intereclesial de Justicia y Paz is a Colombian interchurch (ecumenical) nonprofit human rights organization headquartered in Bogotá that provides legal accompaniment, humanitarian verification, documentation of human rights violations, and peacebuilding support to rural indigenous, Afro-Colombian, and peasant communities affected by armed conflict across at least seven departments (Chocó, Cauca, Valle del Cauca, Meta, Putumayo, Antioquia, and Bogotá). The organization operates under IACHR precautionary measures (notably MC 629-023) granted to the organization itself and to specific communities it accompanies, including the Resguardo Humanitario Biodiverso Wounaan de Santa Rosa de Guayacán (MC 355-10) and the Espacio Humanitario Puente Nayero (MC 152-14). It does not sell products or services; its work is delivered through direct, sustained field presence rather than a technology platform.

The organization runs a sub-brand called Universidad de Paz, an educational initiative promoting peace and democracy through autonomous curricular programs, and co-organizes an annual Memory Encounter (Encuentros de Memorias), which reached its seventeenth consecutive edition in March 2026. It maintains an extensive ecosystem of strategic partners including community organizations (SOMOS GENESIS, CAVIDA, CLAMORES), international accompaniers (Peace Brigades International), financial supporters (Christian Aid), and a network of 'Friend Organizations' spanning indigenous rights groups (ONIC, CONPICON), legal collectives (Cajar), and broader social movements (Marcha Patriótica, Congreso de los Pueblos).

Its financial sustainability is based on donations and international cooperation; the organization publishes annual accountability reports (Rendición de Cuentas) including financial statements but does not publicly disclose specific revenue figures. The entity is governed by a Consejo Ejecutivo, has approximately 19 employees, and operates through direct field accompaniment as its sole distribution model.
