This paper: Human Rights Defenders in Colombia, is written by María Paola Quintero Gómez. She holds a Bachelor of Laws Degree (LL.B.) from Universidad Eafit, Medellín, Colombia and a Master of Laws (LL.M.) in Public International Law with a specialisation in International Criminal and Humanitarian Law from the University of Oslo, Norway. 

In the introduction the author writes:  To defend human rights is a right itself. To fully enjoy this right, a safe and enabling environment for human rights defenders (HRDs) must be created. To achieve this, Colombia has been implementing a protection programme for HRDs since 1997, making the Colombian State a pioneer in the region.

This is not only the first programme one in the Americas but is also the largest programme with the biggest budget. It has evolved over the years, incorporating protection and preventive measures for both individuals and collectives. However, despite the state’s efforts and regulations, Colombia remains the most dangerous country in the world for HRDs. In 2019, 35% of defenders killed worldwide were in Colombia. The situation appears to be worsening in 2020 because, by 24 January, 23 HRDs had been killed.

This paper: COVID-19: Human rights trade-offs, challenges and policy response,  is written by Bård A. Andreassen, Peris S. Jones and Gentian Zyberi, Norwegian Centre for Human Rights, University of Oslo and Yannick Bernardo Joaquim, Agostinho Neto University of Luanda

In the introduction the authors write: The COVID-19 virus pandemic stands out as one of the most devastating global humanitarian and economic crises in living memory, leading to human misery in virtually every country in the world. In the history of pandemics, it is about to become one of the worst pandemics since the Spanish Flu between 1918 and 1919. It has overwhelmed health systems, threatened national economies, social security systems, as well as education and food production (E/C.12/2020/1). As of 5 September 2020, the death toll from COVID-19 was around 870,000 people and around 26.5 million people had been affected. 

The short and long-term impacts of COVID-19 on human rights are huge. There is still a lack of knowledge and uncertainty about how it is affecting countries, and differences among them, as this depends on how authorities and populations react to the pandemic and continue to react in the coming months.
