Colombia: Attorney General Ordoñez filed an action of annulment against Sentence C-754/2015, which instructs the Ministry of Health to create a protocol for victims of sexual violence. With this action, the attorney general sought to allow health care providers to refuse to perform certain practices contained in the sentence, such as HIV tests and legal abortion. The Constitutional Court denied the action.
