The appeal concerns the search for the remains of 11 men who were killed in a lethal strike by the US military. The incident occurred on a vessel reportedly carrying drugs in the southern Caribbean. This incident has raised serious concerns about the methods used in the international war on drugs, and the Colombian President’s appeal underscores the human cost of these operations.
