Mr. Corbyn: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representations he will make to the Colombian
Government concerning the rights of the peace communities in Colombia not to be intimidated by military and paramilitary units.

Mr. Battle: As I made clear in my statement on 13 February, we are very concerned about the increasing levels of violence in
Colombia, and the threats and intimidation that continue to be directed against the civilian population, including the peace
communities.
The Minister for the Cabinet Office visited Colombia again in March in order to support the Colombian Government's efforts to
advance the peace process and protect human rights. She repeated the concerns that we both raised with the Colombian Government
during our joint visit in September 2000 about paramilitarism, and strongly urged the authorities to increase their efforts to
tackle paramilitary groups. On 20 April, I wrote to the Colombian Ambassador in London reiterating our concern about the human
rights situation in Colombia, especially with regard to the protection of vulnerable groups, paramilitarism, and bringing members of
the armed forces linked to paramilitaries to justice.

Government over the recent threats made by Army and paramilitary personnel against the Peace Community of San Jose de Apartado.
[160641]
Mr. Battle: We are concerned about the recent threats that have been made by armed groups against the Peace Community of San Jose de
Apartado. Representatives of Peace Brigades International and Christian Aid met officials from the Latin American and Caribbean
Department at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office on 5 and 26 April respectively to discuss this problem, and what further steps
might be taken to protect the Peace Community and other vulnerable groups in Colombia.
The British embassy in Bogota has raised our concern about the safety of the San Jose de Apartado Peace Community with the Colombian
authorities, most recently with the Head of the Human Rights Unit of the Prosecutor-General's Office in 24 April. We have been
promised a response soon.
