  2. “Since the signing of the Agreement, more than 375 former FARC-EP combatants have been killed. We urge the Government to strengthen prevention and protection measures and reiterate the importance of the National Commission on Security Guarantees. The United Kingdom welcomes the announcement in June of a ceasefire between the Government and the Ejército de Liberación Nacional (ELN) and hopes that communities will see genuine improvements in their security. We expect the ELN to approach its undertakings in good faith, and we are following closely the efforts of the Government to reach a ceasefire agreement with the Estado Mayor Central Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia- Ejército del Pueblo.”

  3. “Salcedo López has outlined, the gender chapter is an essential element of the peace agreement. We are concerned about the fact that women leaders and female ex-combatants continue to face conflict-related sexual violence, and we encourage the Government of Colombia to continue to prioritize the full implementation of the gender provisions of the peace agreement. Political participation is also critical to the implementation of the Agreement. As we approach the regional elections in October, we encourage the Government to take the necessary steps to ensure the safety of peace signatories seeking to participate in the democratic process. We strongly condemn the violence against former Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia- Ejército del Pueblo (FARC-EP) combatants, human rights defenders and social leaders.”

We welcome the adoption of the National Development Plan, which includes an investment plan for peace.
