<p>Colombia is a UK Human Rights Priority Country and UK ministers and senior officials
regularly discuss security issues with the Colombian Government and in multilateral
fora. Most recently, our Permanent Representative at the United Nations raised the
need to ensure security for vulnerable communities affected by violence at the UN
Security Council on 14 July. We look to the Colombian authorities to investigate fully
and to take appropriate action against those responsible.</p><p>The UK has provided
longstanding support through our Conflict, Stability and Security Fund (CSSF) programme
to support at risk-Human Rights Defenders, social leaders and victims, and help tackle
the root causes of the violence. We will continue to work closely with organisations
such as the Foundation for Freedom of the Press (FLIP) and UN Human Rights Office
(OHCHR) in support of human rights and media freedom.</p>
