Crisis in Colombia
Sample Letter to Commander Manuel Marulanda
Dear Commander Marulanda:
I have read with deep concern reports of serious international law violations committed in Colombia by the FARC-EP, the rebel group you command. These violations include the killing and abductions of civilians, hostage-taking, the use of child soldiers, grossly unfair trials, the cruel and inhuman treatment of captured combatants, and the forced displacement of civilians." Additionally, human rights groups have documented the FARC-EP's use of indiscriminate weapons and attacks against medical workers and facilities.
As the leader of the FARC-EP, you should take immediate steps to ensure that the forces under your command stop these abuses and comply with international humanitarian law principles. This is a necessary foundation for any peace in Colombia.
Yours sincerely,
