San Josa de Apartada declared itself a peace community in 1997. Residents of the 1,300 member, rural community pledged not to engage in war, either directly or indirectly, and to look for peaceful and negotiated solutions to the conflict. This declaration caused the armed groups to declare San Josa de Apartada as aiding the enemy.
Although San Josa de Apartada displays white flags and constructed fences to indicate its neutrality, armed groups, including Colombia's armed forces, have continued to attack and kill its residents. These attacks forced many living in San Josa de Apartada to seek refuge in a nearby village to avoid further attacks and persecution.
In 2005, these constant human rights abuses led the Inter-American Court for Human Rights to rule that the Colombian government was obligated to safeguard the right to life, personal integrity, security, freedom of movement, dignity, and respect of each individual domicile of the residents of San Josa de Apartada.
