answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/06/2015 answer text <p>Colombia was first included in the Human Rights and Democracy Report as a “Country of Concern” in 2001, primarily due to human rights abuses perpetrated by state and non-state actors involved in the ongoing internal conflict. <br><br>The Colombian government has committed to improving the human rights situation and has made some progress, for example through the creation of the National Protection Unit (NPU). However, significant challenges remain, not least in the number of threats to human rights defenders. President Santos has stated that the most effective way to improve human rights in the country is to make progress on a negotiated peace settlement and we strongly support the efforts of the negotiating team in Havana to achieve this objective.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency East Devon answering member printed Mr Hugo Swire question first answered 30/06/2015 13:32:23 answering member 1408 label Biography information for Lord Swire
