Abstract

On 14 May 2015, after more than thirty years of aerial spraying of illicit crops in large areas of the territory of Colombia, the National Drug Council decreed that from 1 October 2015 such aerial spraying will not be continued. This work is a study on the lawfulness of such operations under international humanitarian Law, in light of the fact that they can be directed against (i) those individuals growing illicit crops; (ii) the illegal crops as such; or (iii) non-protected persons or objects located in or adjacent to illicit crops
