  • Algunos Indicadores Sobre La Situación De Los Derechos Humanos En El Departamento De Casanare
    Actualizado a marzo de 2005 ALGUNOS INDICADORES SOBRE LA SITUACIÓN DE LOS DERECHOS HUMANOS EN EL DEPARTAMENTO DE CASANARE DEDEPARTAMENTO DE CASANARE El departamento del Casanare es hoy un complejo escenario de la confrontación armada por el accionar de los grupos guerrilleros y en especial, de autodefensa. Las condiciones geográficas y económicas del departamento han convertido su territorio en una zona estratégica para los grupos al margen de la ley que se disputan su dominio. Casanare presenta estribaciones de la cordillera occidental aunque se encuentra ubicado en los llanos orientales del país. Limita con Arauca en el norte, Boyacá en el occidente y, Vichada y Meta en el suroriente y en el sur, departamentos que desde hace varias décadas han tenido una alta actividad armada por parte de los grupos insurgentes y de autodefensa. Topográficamente, Casanare tiene una parte montañosa en su parte occidental y un terreno plano en el centro y en el sector oriental, situación que favorece la presencia y movilidad de los grupos de guerrilla y autodefensa. La incursión de los grupos de autodefensa y de guerrilla tiene sus raíces en los reductos de la violencia de los años cincuenta. En 1980, las FARC OBSERVATORIO DEL PROGRAMA PRESIDENCIAL DE DERECHOS 1 HUMANOS Y DIH Actualizado a marzo de 2005 mostraban una incipiente presencia en este departamento, sin embargo alrededor de la década de los noventa, motivadas por objetivos estratégicos de expansión territorial, consignados en las conclusiones de su Séptima Conferencia (1982) y sus intereses en torno al dominio de la cordillera oriental, al auge petrolero y al fortalecimiento del narcotráfico, posiciona en esta zona dos de sus frentes pertenecientes al bloque Oriental.

    Colombia Page 1 of 21 Colombia Country Reports on Human Rights Practices - 2006 Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor March 6, 2007 Colombia is a constitutional, multiparty democracy with a population of approximately 42 million. On May 28, independent presidential candidate Alvaro Uribe was reelected in elections that were considered generally free and fair. The 42-year internal armed conflict continued between the government and terrorist organizations, particularly the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) and the National Liberation Army (ELN). .The United Self Defense Forces of Colombia (AUC) was demobilized by August, but renegade AUC members who did not demobilize, or who demobilized but later abandoned the peace process, remained the object of military action. While civilian authorities generally maintained effective control of the security forces, there were instances in which elements of the security forces acted in violation of state policy. Although serious problems remained, the government's respect for human rights continued to improve, which was particularly evident in actions undertaken by the government's security forces and in demobilization negotiations with the AUC. The following societal problems and governmental human rights abuses were reported during the year: unlawful and extrajudicial killings; forced disappearances; insubordinate military collaboration with criminal groups; torture and mistreatment of detainees; overcrowded and insecure prisons; arbitrary arrest; high number of
