The
International Association of People’s Lawyers met in Doorn, The
Netherlands, from December 8 to 10, 2000, and after analyzing the
situation of injustice and violence that is happening in Colombia,
we resolve to:
-
Call upon the Colombian government to provide all the legal
and social guarantees to the lawyer Alexander Lopez M and to the
Sintra Emcali organization, to the effects of preserving their human
rights as well as to the other social leaders and trade unionists
that today struggle in this country for peace and social justice for
the peoples of Colombia.
-
The International Association of People’s Lawyers will
denounce and confront the human rights violations in Colombia that
have been committed daily under the auspices of the Colombian
government against human rights defenders and especially against
trade union and social leaders.
At the same time we call on the Congress of Colombia so that it can
destroy the process of privitization of the Empresas Municipado de
Cali Emcali, by considering this company to be a Colombian patrimony
and to promote the social well being for the poorest of the region.
