A/HRC/24/6 2012, a Working Group on Business and Human Rights was established and a forum on free trade and human rights was convened. 109. Dialogue with civil society organizations had been strengthened within the framework of the National Human Rights Conference, convened by the Government, civil society and the international community. 110. Regarding women’s issues, in 2012 the Government adopted the Gender Equality Policy and the comprehensive plan to ensure women a life free of violence. The policy had a budget of nearly US$ 1.9 billion, and reflected international instruments such as Security Council resolutions 1325 and 1820. Recognizing the persistence of factors that hindered access to justice in cases of sexual violence, the State would continue to work on a strategy to strengthen prevention, comprehensive care for victims, effective investigation and prosecution of such acts. 111. In reference to the rights of the LGBTI community, the Government had included in the National Development Plan a mandate to design a public policy for that group. In that regard, the National Statistics Department had begun to establish a baseline profile of the LGBTI population. In the same vein, a committee to deal with urgent cases and receive complaints on human rights violations against members of the LGBTI community had been established in 2011. To date, more than 100 cases have been submitted for consideration by that mechanism. 112. The delegation also highlighted actions taken by the Government on the question of forced disappearances. The relevant institutions in Colombia had obtained some results in finding and identifying disappeared persons. During the first year of the current administration almost 10,000 human remains had been identified. In 2010 the Government had created a genetic data bank under the authority of the Attorney General. 113. In concluding, the delegation stated that the questions and recommendations received were fundamental to improving the human rights situation, achieving peace, overcoming hate and seeking forgiveness and reconciliation. The Vice-President highlighted those recommendations that requested the respect of trade unions as institutions of democracy, the advance of social dialogue and the end of employment intermediation. The Government shared the concerns expressed by some countries in the areas of corporate social responsibility, the situation of children and women, and discrimination against ethnic and other minorities. 114.
