INTERNATIONAL SOLIDARITY OF ORGANIZATIONS, PUEBLOS AND INDIGENOUS NATIONALITIES OF ABYA YALA WITH THE PROCESSES OF THE MINGA IN SOUTHWESTERN COLOMBIA
The Abya Yala Indigenous Coordinator, representing various
organizations, nationalities and Indigenous Peoples of the Abya Yala, within
the framework of the Dialogue among Social Actors and the Representatives of
the High Level Governments of the Americas of the Organization of American
States - OEA, we salute the Social Minga for the Defense of Life, Territory, Democracy, Justice and Peace; who are peacefully mobilized in various points of
the department of Cauca and Colombia, demanding from the Colombian government
the fulfillment, respect and guarantees of their Economic, Social and Cultural
Rights.
As organizations, nationalities and Indigenous Peoples of
the Abya Yala, we express to the government of Colombia and the international
community, our voice of rejection and condemnation for the lack of guarantees
for social protest and the lack of political will to attend and dialogue as the
Head of State with the Indigenous Peoples and social organizations of
southwestern Colombia. At the same time we alert the entire world, that we are witnesses
to the denunciations and communiqués of the organizations of the Minga, where
it is clearly shown, the fierce attacks and the disproportionate use of the
state authority of the public forces (ESMAD, army and police ) on civil
society, leaving as a result several wounded and in a confused set of facts,
one policeman dead.
To these abuses are added the accusations, prosecutions,
persecution and death that are being experienced by Indigenous Peoples and
other social sectors of the department of Cauca and Colombia since March 10,
2019, which requires special and urgent treatment by of the establishment of
the government and organizations of human rights defenders at the national and
international level.
Therefore, very respectfully, we have asked the president of
Colombia Ivan Duque, to open an immediate and face-to-face dialogue with the
organizations present in the Minga and to meet the demands of their social
agendas, recognizing that this request was sent to the head of the national government
national, prior to the mobilization of the Minga.
We know that there are more than 1300 agreements not
fulfilled by the last 3 governments of Colombia with the Indigenous Peoples, agreements
signed with the Regional Indigenous Council of Cauca - CRIC (Dto 1811), the
Indigenous Regional Council of Huila - CRIHU, the Regional Indigenous Council
of Caldas - CRIDEC, the Association of Indigenous Councils of Valle del Cauca -
ACIVA, the Regional Indigenous Organization of Valle del Cauca - ORIVAC. At the
same time, there are serious breaches with the National Union Federation of
Agricultural Unity FENSUAGRO - CUT, the Interlocution and Agreement Table in
Cauca, the Popular Unity Process of the Colombian Southwest - PUPSOC, the
Integration Committee of the Colombian Massif - CIMA, the Coordinator National
Agrarian Coordinator - CNA, The Campesino Working Group of Cauca, the Student
Movement-UNEES (inclusion in the PND), the Territorial Working Group of
Guarantees for Human Rights Defenders, as well as diverse, social and popular
organizations of the southwest of Colombia.
For all the above reasons, we will continue monitoring and offering
international accompaniment to this process of dialogue and compliance with the
agreements agreed between the high government of Colombia and the Social Minga
for the Defense of Life, Territory, Democracy, Justice and Peace.
We propose:
1) Establishment of an operational working group headed by Colombian President Ivan Duque, in which dialogue and compliance with agreements are guaranteed, to include the presence of international observers and guarantors: Inter-American Commission on Human Rights of the OAS, UN, Non-governmental organizations that defend human rights, and diplomatic representatives of some international governments.2) Stop the excessive use of military forces, such as harassment and provocation.3) Make a call to order and self-discipline to some of the communication media, so that they do not interfere with the processes of dialogue and commitments of the agreements, being that they have violated the right to self-determination of the Indigenous Peoples, the dignity, honor and good name of our people and put at risk the life and integrity of the organizations present in the Minga.4) Reparation for damages to injured families for the use of excessive military force, non-judicialization of detainees and the non-criminalization of community leaders and their organizations.5) Direct resolution, in a specific time and with specific mechanisms for their solution to the Demands of the Social Minga for the Defense of Life, Territory, Democracy, Justice and Peace.
Here subscribed, the
signatory organizations in this international communiqué, on Wednesday, March
twenty (20) of the year two thousand nineteen (2019).
