Judge Viviana Arciniegas of the 34th Family Court in Bogotá ordered the Presidency of the Republic, Ministry of National Defense, and the Colombian Armed Forces to abstain from executing offensive aerial operations. ^[1] Authorities must adopt and verify precautionary and protective measures and determine that no less harmful alternative exists to achieve the legitimate military objective before proceeding. ^[2] Ower Jimmy Borda Parra filed the tutela action on behalf of children allegedly recruited by armed groups who could be present in zones where the Public Force conducts offensive aerial operations. ^[3] The order applies specifically to zones where there is certain, objective, or reasonably verifiable information about the presence of children recruited or used by armed groups. ^[4] Judge Viviana Arciniegas Gómez stated that authorities must abstain from operations when information is certain, objective, or reasonably verifiable regarding the presence of minors, while necessary protection measures are taken. ^[5] The order does not signify a general suspension of military operations nor an absolute prohibition of bombings, applying only when information exists about minors recruited or used by armed groups in the target of an aerial operation. ^[6] The provisional measure was issued on September 3, 2026, following a tutela action presented by Ower Jimmy Borda Parra on behalf of children who could be in zones of military operations. ^[7]
