47. In the report published in 2010 by the United Nations Rapporteur on Extrajudicial, Summary or Arbitrary Executions, he concretely referred to this phenomenon classifying it as “false positives,” defined as “unlawful killings of civilians, staged by the security forces to look like lawful killings in combat.” 31 48. In relation to the dynamic by which said executions were carried out, the Rapporteur stated that once the civilian victims where killed a scene was staged to make it look like “lawful killings in combat”, and this staging sometimes involved “placing weapons in the hands of victims; firing weapons from victims’ hands; changing their clothes to combat fatigues or other clothing associated with guerrillas; and putting combat boots on victims’ feet.” The victims “were reported by the military and in the press as guerrillas or criminals killed in combat.” 32 The Rapporteur pointed out that even though he saw no evidence to suggest that these killings were an “official policy” there have been too many killings of a similar nature to characterize them as isolated incidents. 33 49. The Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court indicated that this modus operandi of unlawful killings of civilians reported as guerillas killed in combat after alterations to the crime scene. It stated that these these killings were carried out by members of the armed forces, at times operating jointly with paramilitaries and civilians, as a part of an attack directed against civilians in different parts of Colombia. Killings were in some cases preceded by arbitrary detentions, torture and other forms of ill-treatment. 34 50. On the subject of access to justice for extrajudicial executions committed by the military during the 1990s, the Commission stated both in its 1993 report as well as in the one published in 1999 that one of the most important obstacles is the use of the military court system to address cases of human rights violations as they classifying them as “service-related.” 35 In this regard, it was also noted by the UN Rapporteurs in their Joint Report according to which the military courts “are composed of officers who can also be responsible for ordering military operations” and were even responsible for ordering military operations in conection with which human rights violations have occurred.” 36 B.
