BOGOTA (Reuters) - Colombia is only partially adopting necessary measures to prevent members of its security forces from committing human rights violations, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (CIDH) said on Thursday.

Last year the CIDH, an autonomous arm of the Organization of American States, made 41 recommendations to Colombia, following a visit to investigate largely peaceful anti-government protests which left more than two dozen people dead.
