Colombia’s Constitutional Court has approved the state of emergency initially declared in February, but with specific limitations. The court’s ruling restricts the emergency declaration to the 181 municipalities identified as being at risk by the National Unit for Disaster Risk Management (Ungrd). This decision conditions the validity of the emergency measures to only those areas demonstrably facing heightened risk. The initial declaration granted the government expanded powers to address potential crises, but faced scrutiny regarding its broad scope. By limiting the application to at-risk municipalities, the court seeks to balance executive authority with constitutional protections. The Ungrd report served as the key basis for the court’s decision, ensuring the emergency response is targeted and justified. This ruling aims to streamline aid and resources to the most vulnerable regions.
