The Carranza family is seeking justice and compensation through a petition to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights following the alleged unlawful killing of Alejandro Carranza by US forces. While the commission can investigate human rights violations and issue recommendations, its decisions are non-binding, leaving the US government under no obligation to comply. Legal experts suggest that pursuing the case in US courts may yield more productive outcomes, although significant challenges exist, including issues surrounding jurisdiction and sovereign immunity. Additionally, the Colombian Attorney General’s Office has initiated an inquiry into the US bombings, but access to crucial information from the US is limited, hindering the investigation’s progress. As the family grapples with financial difficulties following Carranza’s disappearance, they continue to advocate for accountability and recognition of his status as a fisherman.
