Forced disappearances remain a persistent practise in Colombia, the United Nations Human Right's Council concluded in a debate Tuesday, reported Radio Caracol.

The Council discussed a report published by the United Nations Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances, which found that of 284 identified disappearances, "impunity was found in almost all cases."

The Colombian delegation assured the council that the country is committed to "continue working to define what happened in each of them."

The Working Group questioned the validity of this statement and found it "alarming that many cases of enforced disappearance continue being heard by military courts."
