On April 18, 2024, a significant development occurred in the realm of surrogacy in Colombia. The Constitutional Court of Colombia, while affirming the legitimacy of surrogacy practices in the country, issued a mandate to Congress to legislate on the matter. This crucial directive requires Congress to establish a clear legal framework for surrogacy by the next legislature, which begins on July 20, 2024.
What This Means for Surrogacy in Colombia
The Court’s decision marks a pivotal moment for individuals and couples considering surrogacy in Colombia. By recognizing the legitimacy of surrogacy, the Court has paved the way for more structured and legally supported surrogacy practices. However, the absence of current legislation means that there is still uncertainty about the specific regulations and protections that will be put in place.
Current Status
As of now, no bills have been filed before Congress to address the Court’s directive. This means that while surrogacy is acknowledged as legitimate, the legal framework governing its practice remains undefined. The upcoming legislative session will be crucial in shaping the future of surrogacy in Colombia.
