BOGOTA, Oct 21 ― Accountability for human rights abuses committed during Colombia's decades-long conflict and recent anti-government protests are critical to preventing future abuses, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said during a visit to the Andean country yesterday.

Human rights groups had urged Blinken to press Duque on policing, as well as growing violence by armed groups and the potential restart of aerial fumigation of coca crops. The ministerial meeting on migration on Wednesday evening includes officials from Chile, Brazil, Canada, Costa Rica, Honduras, Peru, Ecuador, Guatemala and El Salvador, among others.

Poverty and violence in the region's most troubled countries ― including El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Venezuela and Haiti ― has driven migration flows to the United States and other parts of Latin America.
