Miguel Puerto

Miguel is a member of the lawyers’ collective Colectivo de Abogados ‘José Alvear Restrepo’ (CAJAR) and for the past five years has worked with ICTUR as Colombia / Latin America Coordinator. He is the coordinator of the Trade Union Rights Unit, established more than three years ago in Colombia by ICTUR and CAJAR, it is a legal Project which today has many trade union cases, including assassinations and other serious violations of human rights that are carried out in retaliation for trade union activities. In recent years Miguel has been working to ensure that violations of human rights suffered by Colombian trade unionists are denounced at the international level. A good example of this work can be seen in the international events organised by ICTUR in London and Geneva at which the suffering of the Colombian trade unionists has been discussed by the international trade union movement. Miguel has subsequently presented legal actions before international judicial bodies in the struggle to secure justice for cases that are under impunity and where no-one has been brought to justice in national courts.
