The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what steps he is taking to support peace and human rights in Colombia.

Answered by Catherine West

Supporting Implementation of the 2016 Colombia Peace Agreement is our priority. The UK has committed £80 million towards peace, stability and human rights in Colombia since 2016, leading efforts in the UN, including as penholder of resolutions in the UNSC.

Colombia is a Human Rights priority for the UK. The UK is working with the Colombian Government and communities to raise our concerns and to support the victims of sexual violence and environmental crimes.
