Colombian Interior Minister Rodrigo Lara announced on 2026-09-03 that the government will appeal a ruling from the Family Court 34 of Bogotá. [^1]

Interior Minister Rodrigo Lara Restrepo characterized the judicial ruling as 'absurd and unconstitutional' and stated that the government will appeal the decision. [^2]

The Family Court 34 of Bogotá ordered the government of Abelardo de la Espriella and the Colombian Military to suspend offensive aerial operations when there is a possible presence of children, girls, and adolescents. [^3]

Rodrigo Lara stated that the terms of the provisional measure are too open and would make bombardments materially impossible. [^4]

The Bogotá court ordered the government to abstain from air operations if there are reasonably verifiable indications of the presence of recruited minors. [^5]

The Defender's Office reported 1,173 children recruited between 2024 and July 2026. [^6]

The court decision followed confirmation by Legal Medicine that three minors died during a military operation against Farc dissidents in El Retorno, Guaviare. [^7]

The legal action was filed by Ower Jimmy Borda Parra, acting as an ad-hoc agent for minors recruited by armed groups who might be located in zones susceptible to attack by the Public Force. [^8]
