Mr. Julian, I will presume that you consider the United Nations an independent and impartial institution dealing with human rights, and if so, I would point out that the most recent review by the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights has praised Colombia for the progress it has made. It says, the Government has made great efforts to strengthen the rule of law, mainly through increasing regional State presence in locations previously under the control of illegal armed groups.
It is noted that the government demonstrated goodwill and made significant efforts on the issue of extrajudicial executions. It concluded: the extraordinary measures recently taken, including separating some senior military commanders from service, have reinforced the “zero tolerance” policy for human rights violations.
So are you—
