<p>I spoke to Carlos Holmes Trujillo, the Colombian Foreign Minister, on 26 January
at the UN in New York; and on 4 February at a Lima Group meeting in Ottawa. On 9 May
the Minister of State for the Commonwealth and the UN, Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon, met
with Colombian High Counsellor for Stabilisation, Emilio Archila, and directly raised
the issue of human rights defenders. We regularly express our concern to the Colombian
Government over the fate of human rights defenders, and work closely with civil society
groups to bring individual cases to the government's attention.</p>
