Images of forensics exhuming bodies from a cemetery in Apartado, northwestern Colombia.
The Special Jurisdiction for Peace (JEP) and the Search Unit for Missing Persons (UBPD) are trying to trace the identities of 24 unidentified bodies which disappeared during the armed conflict in Colombia. Apartado and the surrounding Uraba region was at the heart of a warzone where paramilitaries battled leftist rebels, particularly in the 1990s, with civilian populations often caught in the crossfire.
