Combia's Unit for the Victims

About

The Unit for the Attention and Integral Reparation to the Victims (in Spanish Unidad para la Atención y Reparación Integral de las Víctimas) is an institution from the Government of Colombia created in January 2012 based on Law 1448 (on victims and land restitution), which dictates comprehensive care, assistance and reparation measures for victims of the internal armed conflict.
