    SUBJECT: CARAMAGNA EXPRESSES CONCERNS ABOUT GOC-AUC PEACE
    PROCESS

    Classified By: Ambassador William B. Wood.
    Reasons: 1.4 (b) and (d)

    -------
    SUMMARY
    -------

    ¶1.  (C) Sergio Caramagna, Director of the Mission to Support
    the Peace Process in Colombia (MAPP/OAS), told the Ambassador
    on 23 June that nothing had united AUC leaders more than the
    Constitutional Court's mid-May press release that previewed
    the Court's views on the Justice and Peace Law.  Caramagna
    said Minister of Interior and Justice SabasPretelt said in a
    recent meeting with AUC leaders that the GOC would seek to
    preserve the "core principles" of the Justice and Peace Law
    in the event of an "adverse" Court ruling.  Caramagna warned
    AUC leaders were concerned that over 200 middle ranking
    demobilized paramilitaries were "waiting for the process to
    fail."  Moreover, paramilitaries were watching closely for
    any additional benefits the GOC is willing to offer to the
    ELN and the FARC, in the expectation they would benefit from
    the same terms.  End summary.

    --------------------------------------------- --
    GOC ATTEMPTS TO ALLEVIATE AUC LEADERS' CONCERNS
    --------------------------------------------- --

    ¶2.  (C) Caramagna told the Ambassador he was surprised that
    all the AUC leaders and their legal advisers, including
    paramilitary leader "Aleman" who had negotiated separately
    from the other AUC leaders, had attended a meeting with the
    GOC on June 17 (see septel for a read out of a follow up
    meeting AUC leaders had with the National Reconciliation and
    Reparations Commission).  Nothing had united AUC leaders more
    than the Constitutional Court's mid-May press release that
    previewed the Court's views on the Justice and Peace Law.
    Caramagna said it was irresponsible for the Court to make
    public its preliminary observations on the law, since it hit
    on several sensitive subjects.  Caramagna insisted, however,
    that no official accords were made between the GOC and AUC
    leaders on such things as prison terms, reparations, and
    political status.

    ¶3.  (C) Caramagna said Peace Commissioner Restrepo never said
    a word during the seven-hour meeting, instead acting as if he
    were a subordinate to Pretelt.  The relationship between
    Restrepo and Preteltwas progressively getting worse.
    According to Carmagna, Pretelt blamed Restrepo for inundating
    the system with over 12,000 more demobilized paramilitaries
    than the GOC had originally estimated, and Restrepo blamed
    Pretelt for making promises to the paramilitaries that the
    GOC could not deliver.

    ¶4.  (C) Caramagna said Pretelt defended the core principles
    of the J&P Law, saying the GOC would seek to preserve them in
    the event of an "adverse" Court ruling.  On extradition,
    Pretelt insisted that demobilized paramilitaries must abide
    completely by the principles of the J&P Law to avoid
    extradition.  According to Caramagna, it is unclear if the
    AUC leaders left satisfied with Pretelt's assurances, "but at
    least they did not leave the negotiating table."

    ¶5.  (C) Caramagna said the AUC's military structure has been
    dismantled.  This was confirmed by several AUC leaders, who
    privately told Caramagna their men no longer report or even
    respond to them.  Caramagna said that Vicente Castano was
    concerned that over 200 middle ranking demobilized
    paramilitaries were "waiting for the process to fail."
    Castano warned that these individuals are threatening to
    attack the State and return to kidnapping to achieve
    political recognition from the government.  Castano, however,
    said this could still be prevented.

    -----------------------------------------
    DIFFERENTIAL TREATMENT OF ELN TROUBLESOME
    -----------------------------------------

    ¶6.  (C) According to Caramagna, paramilitaries are watching
    closely for any additional benefits the GOC is willing to
    offer to the ELN and the FARC, in the expectation they would
    also benefit from the more generous peace terms.  Any such
    benefits could endanger the paramilitary peace process.  He
    described President Uribe's comment in May that the GOC would
    consider another judicial framework with the ELN as a "bomb"
    to theta4D$Q
