Además de Chiquita, hay muchos otros casos en los que la justicia debe definir responsabilidades en violaciones de derechos humanos en Colombia. Mencionadas en Justicia y Paz: la bananera Dole, la minera Drummond, la petrolera Ecopetrol, Postobón, Nutresa y un largo etc.

A U.S. jury has ordered Chiquita to pay $38 million in damages to relatives of Colombian men who were killed by right-wing paramilitaries the banana giant funded. Marco Simons of EarthRights Intl, part of the plaintiffs' legal team, calls it a "tremendous victory."

Hoy pensando en que hace casi 100 años desde el massacre de 1928 - 100 años de no solamente soledad, sino una cultura de impunidad - y por fin, por primera vez Chiquita Brands, anteriormente United Fruit Company, es ordenada a reparar directamente a un primer grupo de víctimas
