Colombia holds the compromise of promoting and respecting practices and customs of ethnic
peoples and communities, preventing actions that could cause any harm or discriminatory
treatment.
Lastly, Mr President, I would like to highlight the response that the Colombian state has set in
operation to accounting and redress the conflict’s victims seeking for a stable and lasting peace.
We reiterate our compromise with the implementation of the New Peace Agreement, which will
be ratified today in Bogotá, with clear responsibilities to the Colombian state for giving more
importance to minorities both in the policy making process and during the implementation of those
policies.
The New Peace agreement has a clear differential approach, with specific chapters on minorities
in which the rights of this and other communities are recognised. We are sure that will have a
Colombia in peace, a condition needed to transit to the full respect of rights of each inhabitant of
Colombia, despite we are aware of the progress achieve, we are also aware of the challenges we
face in order to become an inclusive, equitable, and prosperous country.
Thank you.
