According to the Colombian's Supreme Court ruling, Armed Forces commanders whose soldiers are found guilty of murdering civilians will have to respond for the crimes committed under their command. The Supreme Court ordered to investigate the commander of a counterguerrilla batallion whose soldiers killed civilians and reported their victims as guerrillas killed in combat.

By now, over 1,300 members of the armed forces are under the suspiccion of kiling cilivilians.
