    ¶1. This is in response to reftel request.

    ----------------------------
    Human Rights Strategy Report
    ----------------------------

    ¶2. Although Colombia is a democracy, a major internal armed
    conflict financed by drug trafficking and other criminal
    activities has created an environment in which serious
    violations of human rights, almost all of which are committed
    by guerrillas or illegal paramilitaries, are commonplace.
    The civilian judiciary is independent of the executive and
    legislative branches but confronts profound challenges from
    corruption and intimidation by guerrillas, paramilitaries,
    and other wealthy criminal organizations.  More
    significantly, the cumbersome inquisitorial judicial system
    is overworked and faces serious resource constraints.
    Impunity from prosecution, therefore, is a threat to the
    creation of a culture of respect for human rights.

    ¶3. The 2003-2004 U.S. human rights and democracy strategy for
    Colombia is both proactive and responsive, tackling the root
    causes of human rights violations and social unrest while
    continuing to invest in short-term emergency humanitarian
    assistance.  Key strategic objectives include protection of
    vulnerable populations, increased access to the justice
    system, support for judicial reforms and the rule of law,
    promotion of local governance and peace initiatives, and
    provision of humanitarian assistance.

    ¶4. Working with the Colombian Ministry of Interior and
    Justice, USAID has provided security protection assistance to
    3,145 people and 71 offices under threat.  The protection
    program includes threatened human rights workers, union
    leaders, journalists, members of the left wing Patriotic
    Union Party, mayors, city council members and municipal human
    rights workers.  The USAID-funded Early Warning System
    expanded to 20 regions, allowing it to respond effectively to
    170 of 220 alerts and potentially preventing massacres,
    forced displacements and other egregious human rights
    violations.

    ¶5. In FY 2003, eleven additional USAID-funded Justice and
    Peace Houses -- one-stop legal assistance shops -- were
    established for a cumulative total of 33, thereby increasing
    access to the justice system for a total of 1.8 million poor
    and marginalized Colombians.  DOJ has developed and
    implemented a multi-faceted strategy to strengthen the GOC,s
    capability to investigate and prosecute human rights cases,
    providing Colombian judicial police investigators, forensic
    examiners, and prosecutors with the necessary training,
    technical assistance, and equipment to enhance and upgrade
    their individual skill levels.  The strategy employs a task
    force concept, whereby personnel from 11 satellite Human
    Rights Units in the Prosecutor General's Office train and
    work together, resulting in a more effective case flow from
    the initial criminal investigative stage through final case
    resolution.  In 2003, the Office of the Prosecutor General
    conducted major operations against guerrilla and paramilitary
    criminal organizations, bringing charges for murder, assault,
    extortion, and drug trafficking.  In 2003, DOJ trained 840
    police assigned to rural outposts with little or no previous
    police presence; trained 400 police in accusatory system/oral
    trial techniques; and trained 172 prosecutors, judicial
    police, and judges in trial advocacy.  Also in 2003,
    specialized training and state of the art equipment donations
    enabled Colombian forensic labs to investigate human rights
    violations more effectively.  This included the enhancement
    of DNA analyzers and the CODIS database; upgrading of the
    Integrated Ballistics Identification System (IBIS); updating
    of forensic imaging and document analysis systems; upgrading
    of the automated fingerprint identification system; and the
    design and installation of a wireless network providing
    inter-agency connectivity and information sharing.  Enhanced
    IBIS testing was used in an investigation in the department
    of Casanare to link nine separate homicides to the same
    weapon, resulting in the arrest of one suspect for four of
    the homicides.

    ¶6. USAID's Peace Program underwent significant change and
    growth in 2003.  While it continued to support civil society
    initiatives to promote peace and conflict resolution, the
    program also developed a working relationship with Colombia's
    new High Commissioner for Peace to design and implement
    initiatives to support peace negotiations with illegal armed
    groups.  As negotiations began between the Colombian
    government and paramilitary groups, USAID provided advice
    regarding policy and programmatic parameters for a possible
    demobilization initiative.  Also in conjunction with the High
    Commissioner and Ministry of Interior and Justice, USAID
    established Peaceful Co-Existence Centers in three of the
    most conflict-ridden municipalities in Colombia.  These
    centers provided communities with a neutral space for
    dialogue, conflict resolution and social services.

    ¶7. USAID's Local Governance Program, which works to improve
    the capacity of municipal governments to involve citizens in
    local decision-making, provide services, and manage resources
    effectively and transparently, supported the establishment of
    117 social infrastructure projects in 64 municipalities.
    These projects were administered through local citizen
    oversight committees that established project priorities and
    oversaw their management and financing.  In addition, USAID
    successfully completed a nationwide public awareness
    anti-corruption campaign that reached six million citizens
    through radio, newspaper, and television messages, and
    standardized internal control units in nineteen government
    agencies.

    ¶8. DOJ and USAID worked to help reform Colombia's criminal
    justice system in an effort to accelerate the legal process.
    DOJ assisted the GOC in drafting a new criminal procedure
    code to move the system towards an accusatorial system.  The
    draft code is currently under consideration in the Colombian
    Congress.  DOJ and USAID organized joint accusatory trial
    technique courses for judges, prosecutors, police, defense
    attorneys and investigators.  DOJ funded visits for judges
    and legislators to observe the accusatory system in practice
    in Puerto Rico.  DOJ also implemented an instructors' course
    at the Prosecutor General's training facility, which trained
    instructors to conduct their own courses in forensic
    specialties, basic investigative skills, trial techniques,
    interview techniques, and crime scene management.  Over the
    next three years, DOJ and USAID will assist the GOC in
    providing training to approximately 3,000 prosecutors, 1,000
    judges, 10,000 police investigators, and 1,500 defense
    attorneys.  In cooperation with the Colombian Justice Sector
    High Level Commission, USAID has built 27 trial courtrooms to
    complement the shift towards an accusatorial system.

    ¶9. Although NGO statistics indicate kidnappings have dropped
    approximately 30 percent in 2003, kidnapping remains a
    significant problem in Colombia.  DOJ assisted the Government
    of Colombia in developing and implementing a comprehensive
    program to investigate and prosecute kidnapping and extortion
    offenses.  Six courses in the areas of Human Resources
    Intelligence Management, Racketeering Enterprise
    Investigations, Kidnapping Investigations and Ransom
    Investigations and Interviewing and Interrogation were held
    for 180 law enforcement, prosecutorial, and military
    personnel.  The intimidation of witnesses and judicial sector
    personnel is also a serious problem.  DOJ provided training
    and equipment for GOC protective force personnel in both the
    witness and dignitary protection areas, including personnel
    from the Bogota mayoral and other GOC ministerial security
    details.

    ¶10. The ongoing armed conflict in Colombia has displaced
    approximately 2.2 million people since 1995.  The State
    Department,s Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration is
    funding seven international organizations (IOs) and NGOs in
    Colombia that provide emergency humanitarian assistance such
    as food, temporary shelter, hygiene & household kits,
    psycho-social attention and health care to newly displaced
    persons.   USAID is also providing mid- to long-term
    assistance to displaced persons through seven IOs and NGOs,
    focused on economic reintegration of displaced persons where
    they reside, and a smaller but significant returnee
    component.  Program activities include productive projects,
    micro-credit programs, vocational training and job placement,
    health care, shelter, income generation, improved education
    and basic community infrastructure.

    ¶11. Although labor union-related homicides and kidnappings
    dropped significantly in 2003, violence against labor union
    leaders and activists continues to be a serious problem.
    Through a grant from DOL, the AFL-CIO's Solidarity Center
    provided U.S.-based training and technical education to
    nearly 40 Colombian trade union leaders who were under
    threat.  DOL also funded an International Labor Organization
    (ILO) project designed to improve labor relations and
    generate quality employment for women.  A second DOL grant
    provided funding to the ILO's International Program for the
    Elimination of Child Labor (IPEC).  In 2003, almost 3,000
    children left their work in low-tech open-pit mines under an
    IPEC-funded pilot project.
