procurador general: inspector general
There was recently a heated debate about the peace process between these two men, described here, and it reminded me of how tricky it can be to distinguish between the two in English.
(note, this entry is corrected, I had originally mistakenly posted it as solicitor general, but procurador is closest to the US position of Inspector General)
For written translations my friend Andrea Parra suggests a footnote, explaining that the procurador has plenary disciplinary
power to sanction any public official and is mandated by the
constitution to oversee implementation of judicial orders and the
protection human rights. She also makes reference to art. 277 of the Colombian Constitution.
