Refugees under the mandate of the UNHCR by country or territory of origin, 1981–2025. Bars, not a line: a line drawn across a year the source does not report would invent an observation a reader could not tell from a measured one.

The World Bank reports 43 of the 45 years between 1981 and 2025 for Colombia. The missing 2 are drawn as gaps, because a gap is what they are.
