<p>The British Government remains concerned at the worrying rate of murders of, and
threats against, peace signatories, including that of José Alirio Chochué. We will
continue to support the Colombian Government in its commitment to implement the 2016
Peace Agreement and ensure the protection and safety of peace activists and women's
rights campaigners. During my visit to Colombia in March, I raised the human rights
situation with Vice Foreign Minister Coy. At the UN Security Council meeting on Colombia
earlier this month, we set out our concern over attacks on human rights defenders,
communities, women and social leaders, and reiterated our commitment to supporting
efforts to tackle the root causes of violence in Colombia.</p>
