For its part, the IACHR observed in its Third Report on the Situation of Human Rights in Colombia (hereinafter “Third Report”), 1999, that a large number of Afro-Colombians lived in some of the most war-torn areas of the national territory and it was correct to say in general that fear and violence used by all of Colombia's warring forces have particularly affected Colombians living in conditions of 56 extreme poverty, of which a disproportionate number were Afro-descendants. 118. On January 22, 2004, the Constitutional Court issued Judgment T-025 in which it ruled 57 58 that the alarming situation of more than three million individuals displaced by violence in Colombia constituted an "unconstitutional state of affairs". It established that there was a massive and ongoing violation of the human rights of the displaced population and that the structural failures in the State's 59 policies were a contributory and pivotal factor. The Court issued orders that included both the State and civil society in the development and application of programs to confront the humanitarian crisis of displacement and to establish procedures to implement its judgment through the design of policies and 60 the holding of periodic public hearings. The Court pronounced on the creation of an action plan to overcome the unconstitutional state of affairs in the light of the lack of public policies towards 53 Annexes 16, 17, 18 and 19. Briefs of the petitioners in the precautionary measures MC 70-99 received on April 29 1999, May 9, 2001, March 1, 2003 and May 31, 2004. 54 On January 29, 1999, the child Hernán Vergara (aged 14), and Rafael Antonio Muñoz, both displaced and settled in Bocas del Atrato, left to go fishing for three days to the Bahía Margarita. On February 5, 1999, their families and members of the Public Prosecutor’s Office found in Bahía Margarita their boat without a motor, nets or equipment. Between February 11, and 12, 1999, the headless body of Rafael Antonio Muñoz was found without legs, with his hand bound, in the place known as “Leoncito” and the whereabouts of Hernán Vergara are still unknown.
