Colombia court orders state to implement water scheme for Wayúu children

Colombia's Constitutional Court ruled the state has failed to comply with prior orders guaranteeing potable water access for Wayúu children, mandating implementation of a water scheme. The ruling underscores persistent state non-compliance in La Guajira, where child mortality from dehydration and malnutrition has been a recurring crisis. The decision adds judicial pressure on the government to act, but enforcement remains uncertain.
