7 measures, located in seven veredas “as a positive fact” because it “helps to precisely determine the beneficiaries and give precise orders to law enforcement regarding their location. Regarding the protection of beneficiaries, the State noted that it undertakes “unilateral efforts” to understand its obligations and to achieve full commitment in the application of the decisions of the Inter-American Court. 17. The representative expressed that the increase in courses in Human Rights and in International Humanitarian Law given to members of the army and the police “does not constitute an effective mechanism for assuring the protection and respect of […] the civil population, as long as they [are] not accompanied by criminal sanctions and exclusion from public functions.” Additionally, the representative indicated that for the Peace Community, the military operations carried out by the Army in the area “are not of protection but of aggression,” given that “they have always amounted to a cover-up for barbaric aggressions by the Army against the Community and the area’s rural population […].” Additionally, the representative indicated that “there has not been any repopulation of the Peace Community’s displaced families” but rather, “various homes of the displaced have been looted” and “[their] collective goods […] occupied,” and that “[i]f there are new settlements in the hamlet, the issue is not one of displaced Peace Community members that have returned but of a repopulation induced by the Police and Army to give the impression of ‘normalization.’” The representative expressed that the Security Councils that have developed in the area “do not have the aim of examining, in an objective and impartial manner, the situation of risk for the Peace Community; […] on the contrary, their purpose is to distort the charges brought by the Community and to try to legitimize the aggressions of the State Institutions.” Regarding the social investment project for the Territory of San José de Apartadó, the representative expressed that “it is a mechanism to pressure the Peace Community to accept the presence of law enforcement,” “that seeks to construct communities which are allied with the State’s camp.” Finally, the representative observed that Brigade XVII “ignores essential information that the Court has transmitted many times to the State within the procedures of the provisional measures,” such as “the location of the members of the Peace Community;” “the reasons the rupturing of cooperation and dialogue between the Government and the Community;” “the conditions that the Community has laid out for their resumption;” and “the reasons for not providing the names of its members.” In various submissions and during the public hearing, the representative gave details of a series of acts which were apparently committed against the beneficiaries of the present provisional measures, including, inter alia, threats against life and personal integrity, including of extermination; intimidation; torture; forced registration; detentions; holdups; false accusations, etc. The representatives indicated that both paramilitary and army members were presumed responsible for these acts. During the public hearing, the representative also indicated that “the observations of the community have not at all resonated with the government during the two years that have passed since the previous hearing [in 2008].” 18. The Commission made reference to, among other aspects, “the deaths of Ediógenes Guzmán David [December 20, 2007] and Margarita Giraldo Úsuga [December 23, 2007],” as well as “the detentions of Germán Graciano [and] Eduar Lanchero [on January 16, 2008], Amanda Úsuga [on April 19, 2008], Emilio Vásquez, Juan Góez [and] Ever Góez [on April 24, 2008] and Huldar Montoya [on June 20, 2008].” During the public hearing, the Commission indicated that “far from seeing improvements in the situation of the beneficiaries of the [provisional measures], the situation of extreme need, urgency, and immediate harm persists, and the elements which gave rise to this situation have not been eliminated.” The Commission expressed concern that the representative had reiterated that threats and stigmatization against the Peace Community’s inhabitants “by members of the army and by paramilitaries are constant,” in addition to other alleged aggressions.
