as posted by the channelColombia’s 60-year-long armed conflict has produced more than 177,000 civilian deaths, 25,000 disappeared people, and 5.7 million refugees. Multinational corporations operating in Colombia are responsible for 12,000 extra-judicial killings, 3,753 disappearances, and 1 million forced displacements. In the Northeast of the country, the Occidental Petroleum Corporation and its affiliate companies are being investigated for dozens of crimes and the forced displacement of farmers and Indigenous communities.
