The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) has completed its assessment of matters arising from the policing of events at Orgreave in 1984 and is currently obtaining legal advice regarding the publication of the outcome of its assessment.

The Environment Agency includes conditions in the environmental permits it grants to operators of landfill sites. Permit conditions can require operators to take all appropriate measures to prevent fugitive emissions of substances, which can include litter, dust and mud, or where that is not practicable to minimise such emissions. Permits can also include conditions that require the operator to clear litter or mud from affected areas outside the site as soon as practicable.<\/p>
Breach of a permit is a criminal offence and may lead to prosecution. The Environment Agency also has a range of other enforcement powers, including the power to serve statutory enforcement notices, vary permit conditions and suspend or revoke an environmental permit.<\/p>
Additional enforcement powers are not considered necessary to prevent landfill operators from tipping during severe weather. However, the Government is considering the merits of enhancing Environment Agency enforcement powers to tackle waste crime.<\/p>

We are aware of the report by Amnesty International which informs that the UNHCHR has confirmed the murder of at least 40 human rights defenders (HRDs) between January and September 2014. ABColombia\u2019s 2014 report stated that 78 human rights defenders were assassinated in 2013, which suggests a decrease this year, though there are reports that threats against HRDs have increased in the same period. However, we await more comprehensive reports including data covering the whole of 2014.<\/p>
The UK Government publishes updates on the human rights situation in Colombia every quarter. The most recent report can be found at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/colombia-country-of-concern/colombia-country-of-concern<\/a>.<\/p>"}
