Colombia remains one of the largest producers of coca, which continues to fuel violence in some areas of the country as illegal armed groups fight for control of territory. We commend the Colombian Government's commitment to tackling the root causes of insecurity and to developing sustainable livelihoods for those living in conflict-affected areas. We remain committed to working with Colombia and international partners, including through our contribution to a multi-donor $2 million project for crop substitution and food security.

The UK's 10 year plan - 'From Harm to Hope' - explains how we propose to cut crime and save lives affected by drug criminality, including how we cooperate with international partners to achieve this. The latest increase in coca cultivation in Colombia has been noted, but the UK respects the right of Colombia's institutions to decide how best to tackle coca eradication. We continue to believe that a multi-pronged approach incorporating enforcement, supporting Colombian institutions to deliver the 2016 Peace Accords and sustainable economic alternatives provides the best long-term method of eradicating coca. Through our support for the implementation of the Peace Agreement we provide assistance for the Government's crop substitution programme and much of our other work in Colombia focuses on developing sustainable livelihoods for those living in conflict-affected areas.

The threats to the UK from illicit drugs and the implications of these threats for law enforcement are kept under regular assessment.
In December 2021, the Government launched its ten-year drugs plan to cut crime and save lives. As part of this, £300 million has been allocated to fund activity to break drug supply chains from end-to-end.
This includes restricting upstream flow by expanding the networks of the National Crime Agency and Border Force officers posted to source and transit countries, ensuring we remain agile in the face of changing threats.
Alongside a strong law enforcement response, the UK is leveraging its diplomatic and overseas policy networks to secure political support from other governments and build our partners’ capacity to address the critical enablers of drug supplies into the UK.

The United Kingdom is committed to the implementation of the Peace Accords of 2016, and we remain steadfast in our support of the Colombian authorities as they seek to ensure sustainable peace in Colombia. Part of this includes direct support to the Government's voluntary crop substitution programme and to supporting state capacity to better protect community leaders involved in this work. We are aware of reports of two deaths during coca eradication operations in recent months. As we mentioned at the UN Security Council session on 13 January, we are particularly concerned about the persistent level of violence towards human rights defenders and community leaders and have called on the Colombian Government to prioritise the tackling of this violence. We have regularly raised the need for a holistic approach to improving security conditions in rural areas.

That this House recognises the need for collective international action to tackle the scourge of illicit drug production, trafficking and consumption; applauds the Colombian government's Shared Responsibility initiative, which highlights the need to tackle cocaine abuse by both consuming and producing countries; further notes that cocaine consumption throughout the world causes devastation in Colombia's economy; further applauds the success of the Alternative Development Programme, which offers coca farmers an alternative livelihood; notes the success of Colombian eradication, which in 2005 eradicated 170,000 hectares of coca, and seized 168.5 tonnes of cocaine, the largest seizure in six years; and urges the Government and the governments of other European states to build on the Shared Responsibility initiative to pursue such solutions internationally, with particular reference to Afghanistan.
