By the 21st century, in most of Latin America a phased combination of international and civil society pressure has produced notable if incomplete human rights reform.

description By the 21st century, in most of Latin America a phased combination of international and civil society pressure has produced notable if incomplete human rights reform. Yet in Colombia, continuing assassinations, kidnappings, forced displacement, and torture have received limited international attention and met with a checkered state response. This essay will argue that the symbolic structure of the violations and political environment in Colombia, above and beyondmaterial and institutional constraints, diminish civil society's impact and state responsiveness. Communicative action and its failures are the key to the persistence of abuse and lag in international response in Colombia. Specifically, we will trace problems in the definition of rights,identification of victims, legitimacy claims of the state, discourse of causal attribution, and transnational communication dynamics.
