§ 38. Mr. GogginsTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what assessment he has made of the recent Human Rights Watch report on conditions in Colombia. [112906]
§ Mr. BattleWe have considered the recent Human Rights Watch report carefully.
The allegations in this report are serious, particularly those of collusion between the Armed Forces and the paramilitaries.
We are encouraged by assurances from the Colombian Government that it is taking steps to address these issues. We will continue to follow this closely.
