Communities and Corporate Responsibility in Colombia
Debora Barros Fince is an indigenous leader from the Wayuu community in
Guajira, Colombia. Ms. Barros Fince speaks internationally of the massacre
that took place in her community on April 18, 2004, leaving 12 of her Wayuu
clan killed, 20 missing and more than 300 displaced from the land they had

Sintracarbon union at the mine, and international supporters.
