Editor's Notes
- Important maps to highlight the displacement of people in Colombia (2010). Note that all the maps are hyperlinked, so when you receive this presentation after the webinar, everything is imbedded if you are interested in more research. This is part of a study done by CODHES (Consulting for Human Rights and Displacement) reviewing the 2009 law of consolidation by President Uribe. Idea to create what are called CCAI’s or Consolidated Centers for Integrated Action, to bring the services of the State to outlying areas (and not just the services of the military).
- Note that the plan has not reduced the # of illegal armed actors in these areas. And specific note to the North Coast and Pacific Coast (for discussion on were the ministry of the IPC is located and also port of Buenaventura)
- These zones where the #’s around displacement by force, illegal armed groups have not gone down also happen to be in the zones where there is either great mineral mining or palm production—exactly the areas the FTA has the most to do with. The FTA just has plans for reductions, but no actual numeric drawn-downs of this need to be shown by the Colombian gov’t for implementation. As these maps show, it really hasn’t gone down yet, why should it now? These are the major concerns of the IPC—and especially of the displaced populations, and workers in these areas of trade they work with or who are part of their congregations/communities.
