A/HRC/4/48 page 8 Kankuamo, reported as having died in combat in 2003. The Office also initiated proceedings against an army NCO and six soldiers for the death of five peasants in Cajamarca (Tolima) in 2004. The report of the Truth Commission, set up by the Supreme Court to shed light on the events of 1985 in the central court in Bogotá, was published, and revealed that serious crimes had been committed by the guerrillas and members of the security forces who clashed there. Likewise, a former colonel was arrested and charged with the enforced disappearance of two persons who had left the court alive. In April 2006, the Procurator General’s Office suspended a retired army general and a colonel for 90 days for failing to provide due security for the inhabitants of the peace community in San José de Apartadó. These are positive steps in the fight to combat impunity. It is essential to proceed with the investigation of all reports of human rights violations that have yet to be investigated and to sanction all violations. 22. The Ministry of Defence, with the support of the OHCHR Office, initiated the implementation phase of the recommendations that emerged from the study carried out by independent experts to strengthen the training of members of the security forces in human rights and IHL. These recommendations refer particularly to orders for operations, analysis of lessons learned, training methodologies, control mechanisms and rules of engagement. Likewise, substantial progress has been made in the training of operational legal advisers, and the appointment of high-ranking officers as inspectors in each division. It is hoped that these efforts will directly result in the substantial reduction of serious violations and breaches by members of the security forces. 23. In spite of the progress achieved and the increase in resources allocated, the situation of persons displaced for reasons relating to the armed conflict is a continuing source of concern. According to the Constitutional Court, the unconstitutional state of affairs has not been overcome, and the grave humanitarian crisis affecting these persons persists.5 The downward trend in the number of displaced persons observed since 2002 continued in 2006. The underreporting of cases of displacement continues to be very common; however, a positive factor is that the High Presidential Advisory Office on Social Action has recognized that the total figure for displaced persons between 1985 and 2005 amounted to 3 million. It is essential that progress be made in the implementation of lasting solutions with a differentiated and gender-sensitive approach, and that special attention be paid to the right of displaced persons to reparation and, in particular, the restitution of their property. 24. The State outlined a strategy for investigating cases of human rights violations and breaches of IHL involving trade union members. This initiative is based on the “Tripartite agreement on the right of association and democracy”, signed by the Colombian delegation to the 95th ILO Conference, made up of representatives of Government, workers and employers. The Government undertook to make a contribution of 5 million dollars. Worthy of mention too is the assignment of 13 specialized prosecutors to these investigations, and the significant increase in the budget allocation for the Government’s protection programme.6 5 Constitutional Court decision No. 218, August 2006, regarding the implementation of ruling T-025. 6 In 2006, the budget allocated to the Protection Programme increased by about 30 per cent, and the total amount was paid with resources from the national budget.
