Government of Colombia

The Government of Colombia is the executive authority of the Republic of Colombia, a presidential democracy in South America. It is led by the President, who serves as both head of state and head of government, alongside a cabinet of ministers, within a system that includes an elected Congress and an independent judiciary. Colombia has experienced one of the world's longest internal armed conflicts, involving guerrilla groups, paramilitaries, and state forces, which produced large-scale internal displacement. The government has pursued peace processes, including the 2016 accord with the FARC, and has administered programmes for victims, land restitution, and reintegration. It also hosts a large population of migrants and refugees from neighbouring Venezuela. These developments are documented in official and international records, and their outcomes remain subject to ongoing assessment.
