OAS Secretary General Welcomes Agreement on De-Mining between the Colombian Government and the FARC
March 9, 2015
The Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), José Miguel Insulza, today welcomed the agreement on the disposal and removal in Colombia of anti-personnel mines, improvised explosive devices and unexploded munitions or explosives in general, reached between the Government of Colombia and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC, for its initials in Spanish).
Secretary General Insulza called the announcement "a great step forward in consolidating the trust of the citizenry and the international community in the peace process, but above all very good news for millions of Colombians who have had to live for decades in fear of a scourge that mainly affects the civilian population and has left many rural communities confined to their territories."
For the Organization, said the OAS leader, "progress in this kind of measure contributes greatly to dismantling the spiral of conflict that Colombia has suffered for decades, taking a firm step toward generating better conditions in the country for a strong and lasting peace."
In Colombia the official number of victims of this kind of armament is more than 11 thousand people up to this year, and it is estimated that 31 of the 32 departments of the country have experienced some kind of incident with anti-personnel mines.
In this context, the leader of the hemispheric institution welcomed the positive impact of the agreement for the most vulnerable communities and populations of the country, and urged that this enormous and transcendental task be implemented and developed in the most timely and efficient manner possible.
The Secretary General offered the knowledge, experience and lessons learned by the Organization in humanitarian de-mining in the implementation of the agreement, as well as that of its Mission to Support the Peace Process (MAPP-OAS), which has spent more than ten years in the country accompanying and building trust between communities and public institutions in the most remote and vulnerable territories of the country.
