Colombia News Brief for April 26, 2024

Welcome to LAWG’s Colombia News Brief, a compilation of top articles and reports on issues of peace, justice, human rights, and more in Colombia.

Colombia News Brief for April 26, 2024

SPOTLIGHT

2023 Country Reports on Human Rights Practices: Colombia
The United States Department of State, April 22, 2024
“Significant human rights issues included credible reports of: arbitrary or unlawful killings, including extrajudicial killings; torture or cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment by government security forces and armed groups; arbitrary arrest or detention; serious abuses in a conflict; serious restrictions on freedom of expression and media freedom, including enforcement of or threat to enforce criminal libel laws to limit expression; serious government corruption; crimes involving violence or threats of violence targeting members of racial and ethnic groups, including Afro-Colombian and Indigenous peoples; crimes involving violence or threats of violence targeting lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, or intersex persons; and significant or systematic restrictions on workers’ freedom of association, such as violence against labor activists. The government took credible steps to identify and punish officials who may have committed human rights abuses.”

PEACE PROCESS

Pablo Beltrán, jefe del ELN: “La negociación con Petro es peor que con Uribe, Santos y Duque”
Juan Diego Quesada, El País, 22 de abril, 2024
“El guerrillero que lidera las negociaciones del grupo armado con el Gobierno asegura en esta entrevista con EL PAÍS que el proceso de paz está en peligro de muerte por lo que él considera una traición del presidente”.

El accionar de los grupos armados en el contexto de la Paz Total 
Instituto de Estudios para el Desarrollo y la Paz, 15 de abril, 2024
“Estamos en una fase exploratoria, digámoslo así por ahora. Pero, de todas maneras, lo que quiero decir con esto es que yo no voy a dialogar por dialogar. El diálogo es un camino para lograr un entendimiento, y en este caso, el entendimiento tiene que ser desmonte de su negocio y su actividad criminal. Eso es, digamos, la razón del diálogo. No es una condición, sino que es un propósito. Pero diálogos eternos, jamás”.

US-COLOMBIA RELATIONS

Colombia and U.S. Must Stop Construction of Military Project on Gorgona Island, Colombia
The Washington Office on Latin America, April 17, 2024
“We, the undersigned organizations, and individuals, urge the governments of Colombia and the United States to stop the construction of the military project on Gorgona Island, located in the south of the Colombian Pacific. We demand that the natural, geological, ancestral, and cultural heritage of Gorgona National Natural Park be defended.”

HUMAN RIGHTS

Riesgos para comunidades y defensores/as de DDHH en el Cauca 
Instituto de Estudios para el Desarrollo y la Paz, 15 de abril, 2024
“En 2023 se dio una reducción importante en el número de masacres ocurridas en el departamento del Cauca, la reducción fue del 40% comparado con el año 2022 donde hubo 15 masacres. No se puede hablar de una continuidad o tendencia a desescalamiento en 2024 cuando ya se ha presentado una masacre en el municipio de Páez”.

ACAPS Thematic Report – Colombia: Child recruitment and use
ReliefWeb, April 18, 2024
“Colombia is one of the countries with the most alarming rates of children’s human rights violations, including child recruitment and use […] The phenomenon has surged some years after the peace agreement signed in 2016 […] driven by NSAGs fighting over illegal economies and social and territorial control.”

CONTINUED ARMED CONFLICT

Disidencias de las Farc confirmaron secuestro de cuatro miembros del ELN en Arauca 
Juan Camilo Rodríguez Parrado, Infobae, 21 de abril, 2024
“El Estado Mayor Central de las disidencias de las Farc confirmó el secuestro de cuatro integrantes del ELN. Así lo hizo saber el grupo armado, encabezado por alias Iván Mordisco, a través de un comunicado expedido en la tarde del domingo 21 de abril de 2024”.

THE ENVIRONMENT

‘Amazonia’ bonds in 2024 seen a tough sell for some
Marc Jones, Simon Jessop, Jake Spring, and Marcela Ayres, Reuters, April 18, 2024
“‘Colombia, like the other eight Amazon countries, could launch an ‘Amazon bond,’ but it has insisted on thinking of the Amazon not as a source of debt but as a source of income,’ said Jose Roberto Acosta, Colombia’s director of public credit at the finance ministry.”

Ministra Muhamad anuncia acuerdo con la fiscal para poner freno a las mafias que deforestan la Amazonía
Ministerio de Ambiente y Desarrollo Sostenible, 19 de abril, 2024
“La Ministra de Ambiente, Susana Muhamad y la fiscal General de la Nación, Luz Adriana Camargo, tras una reunión de trabajo acordaron una nueva hoja de ruta que da un giro a la lucha contra los delitos ambientales, con foco en la deforestación y la investigación criminal.”

La comunidad de Cañaverales le dice no a la minería sí a la agricultura
Colectivo de Abogados “Jose Alvear Restrepo”, 19 de abril, 2024
“Cañaverales ha manifestado en sus redes sociales que se oponen a la minería y que, buscan apoyos del gobierno para fortalecer sus proyectos productivos, su plan de vida y vocación agrícola, la defensa del manantial como reserva forestal protectora, de la cual, proviene el agua del acueducto comunitario y conecta con las acequias que irrigan sus cultivos durante todo el año.”

La empresa Best Coal Company (BCC) sin licencia ambiental ni social para explotar carbón en Cañaverales, La Guajira 
Colectivo de Abogados “Jose Alvear Restrepo”, 18 de abril, 2024
“La comunidad de Cañaverales, La Guajira, lleva más de 13 años defendiendo la protección de su territorio ancestral frente a la amenaza de minería de carbón a cielo abierto, explotación que afectaría la vocación agrícola del lugar. Cañaverales ha sido declarada como una de las últimas despensas agrícolas y folclóricas del sur del departamento.”

COLOMBIAN POLITICS

Balance de las marchas del 21 de abril convocadas por la oposición al Gobierno Petro
El Tiempo, 22 de abril, 2024
“Miles de ciudadanos trasladaron su inconformismo a la gestión del presidente Gustavo Petro a las calles de las principales ciudades del país. Los ciudadanos se congregaron para declarar su rechazo a la política de seguridad, a su intento por reformar el sistema de salud, y al proceso para reformar la Constitución”.

Huge crowds protest Colombian president’s planned reforms
Al Jazeera, April 22, 2024
“Tens of thousands of Colombians have taken to the streets in several cities to protest against President Gustavo Petro’s social reform agenda. About 70,000 people demonstrated in Bogota on Sunday, according to estimates provided by the city government, in opposition to Petro’s proposed economic and social reforms.”

MIGRATION ISSUES

CIDH advierte crisis humanitaria en Colombia por migrantes que intentan cruzar la selva del Darién
Associated Press, 19 de abril, 2024
“‘Existe una evidente situación de crisis humanitaria: la gente tiene hambre, no tiene salud, sufre violencia, extorsiones, violaciones, y lo que advierte la CIDH es una ausencia del Estado’, señaló Andrea Pochak, relatora sobre Movilidad Humana.”
