This report describes how Colombia's rampant lawlessness, insecurity, and corruption represent one of the major threats to democracy and economic progress in Latin America. The authors explain that the stakes are high and recommend a four-point strategy to respond to the deteriorating situation in the country. The report calls for a multi-track approach that supports Colombia's efforts to achieve peace and reconciliation by helping to professionalize the country's military forces, curtail widespread human rights abuses, strengthen political, judicial and social reform efforts, and restore the economy.
