Bogotá, Colombia, May 12, 2011
The attached letter was delivered this past Thursday to President Santos and some members of his government with the signatures of more than a hundred national and international organizations and the support of more than 160 environmentalists and defenders of life in various Latin American and European countries. It concerns the situation of the Colombian countryside, the peasants and those who defend a more inclusive vision of our country’s rural regions.

Respected Gentlemen and Gentlewomen,
The signatories below — defenders of life and civil society organizations who are committed to the sovereignty of the people; defenders of human rights; defenders of our public assets, communal heritage, land rights and the right to self-sufficiency in food; Afrocolombians and peasants – want to express our profound concern for the situation of the rural population which has existed and grown worse for many decades past.
From the outset, we reject and censure all the many deeds of violence, displacement and harassment toward the civilian population of Colombia and, in particular, toward indigenous peoples, black people and peasants in many regions of the country. We are quite clear, as recognized by the Honorable Constitutional Court, that many of these pressures are related to the megaprojects of the mineral, energy and agricultural industries and with the development of infrastructure and land speculation.
Several situations serve as examples of this relationship such as the judicial persecution of peasant leaders in Las Pavas: the continuing and frequent assassination of victims of the conflict who have struggled for restitution of their lands; the continual threats and attacks on the Community of Peace (Communidad de Paz) in San José de Apartadó; the harassment of indigenous peoples in Cauca by legally and illegally armed agents; the expropriation of land by palm oil enterprises and then subsequent delay in redelivering collective lands to the people; the murder of community leaders in the black communities of Curvaradó and Jiguamandó as well as the displacement of leaders of African descent in Guapi, Timbiquí and López de Micay; the killing of peasant community leaders and the expropriation of land in areas of the Caribbean region where there are coal mining and palm oil megaprojects; and the displacement of peasant and fishing populations by mega dams such as in the case of El Quimbo, Ituango and Hidrosogamoso.
The organized forms of civil and democratic defense of their rights by the rural communities have been arrested, literally, by the armed conflict, or they have been intimidated and silenced. Today, for example, the threats and leaflets that stigmatize and link the intent of these organizations with guerrilla fighters and terrorism create an atmosphere of fear and put at risk all people who claim the fulfillment of their rights. It is to this aspect, in particular, that we want to call your attention. As defenders of life who believe in and recognize a social state of law, we want to call the attention of the government and the institutions that direct and guide you to the following specific cases:
1) On February 17, a young environmentalist, Sandra Viviana Cuellar was “disappeared” and since then there has been no news whatsoever on her whereabouts.
2) On April 9, 2011 at seven o’clock in the evening, two laptop computers, an external hard drive, a USB memory stick and a cell phone were stolen from the residence of Hildebrando Vélez in the city of Cali. Hildebrando is at the forefront of activities demanding the return of Sandra Viviana. Thus, her house is registered as the permanent address of the organization “Surviving” which is headed by the young environmentalist who has disappeared.
3) Likewise, we condemn the Colombian Army’s invasion and break-in this past March of several farms located in the municipality of Pradera (Valle del Cauca). Among them is the farm of the headmaster of the Latin American agricultural school, Mario Mejía Gutiérrez. Security forces carried out damaging and denigrating actions in this important center for teaching sustainable agriculture. Other peasants in various regions of the country have suffered the same fate and, because of that, we ask for immediate actions to protect the rights of rural communities and prevent abuse by security forces against vulnerable people and communities. Similarly, we ask for the avoidance of accusations made against rural communities that find themselves prey to the crossfire of the armed conflict in which the country lives, putting in danger its population as well as its physical and moral integrity.
4) Equally, we view with grave concern the continuing death threats received for several years by the environmentalist Guillermo Castaño, president of the Permanent Committee for the Defense of Human Rights in Risaralda and coordinator of the NGO, Surcos Comunitarios, who has not received any protection or assurances of safety from the Colombian government as he carries out his work as a defender of human rights, the natural environment and peasant communities and who is a leading advocate of agroecological proposals and food sustainability among coffee growers.
We cite only these recent cases where the rights of defenders of life have been compromised and we ask the national government, headed by Vice-President Angelino Garzón, to monitor these events. Nevertheless, there exist many other anonymous men and women in the countryside, leaders who don’t have assurances of safety to develop activities, to exercise the right of dissent and the right to confront policies adverse to protection of the environment, local communities and equal access to land and water.
In this regard, we demand that the national government guarantee the fundamental rights of these defenders of life and also urgently take on the adoption of structural measures such as redistribution of profits, gradual and equal access to land, and the necessity of good treatment toward peasants, indigenous communities and black communities on the part of the armed forces. We also demand that government policy and public management recognize the sovereignty of food that sustains rural families and that is itself threatened by fungicides used against the cultivation of illegal crops but which affect other types of cultivation.
The policy of crop fumigation that was started in 1978 has been shown to be ineffective, archaic and anachronistic in a world where environmental considerations take precedence. It constitutes a grave risk for future agricultural commerce in Colombia. We ask for immediate adoption of policies necessary to respond to national and international demands for alternative means to eradication aside from chemical fumigation and force.
Save the Countryside and Peasants
We are convinced that the situation of isolation and the difficult structural conditions concerning access to land, to credit and to opportunities has increased the vulnerability and risks faced by the rural population. We consider the government’s policies and environmental regulations issued over the past few years to be extremely harmful, oriented towards privatization of natural resources and promotion of models of development dominated by large investors. These policies and regulations promote a model of the countryside without the peasants and an absence of specific rights for minority and vulnerable peoples.
We are not able to forget that Colombia continues to be one of the countries of the world with major inequalities in the distribution of land. For 2008, 70% of smallholdings made up only 2.8% of national territory, while only 0.16% of large holdings extended over 60% of the country. This translates into the reality that 64% of the rural population lives in conditions of poverty and at least 41% of Colombian homes are food insecure, (approaching 58.3% in rural areas). In December 2010 there existed in Colombia, according to our sources, between 3,600,000 and 5,200,000 people displaced internally – between 8% and 11.6% of the total population. The extent of hectares usurped or abandoned because of violence between 1980 and 2010 approaches 6.65 million hectares.
It is because of all this that we urgently ask for immediate action by the government: to rescue the countryside from this critical situation; to guarantee the full restitution of citizens’ rights; to adopt policies that will carry out real defense of our country and our natural resources in a manner that will ensure the existence of a rural world where we all fit and where peasant life as well as public policy and natural food resources are sacred. It is urgent that there be dedicated protected areas that sustain the security of food resources with a focus on autonomy and sovereignty. There should be guaranteed access to healthy food as a human right and a law should be promulgated that prohibits land grabs by foreigners, as well as a policy that recognizes communal and popular means of production rather than solely production for the market. In addition, the democratization of all government deliberation processes related to production with a guarantee of active peasant participation will build a new civilized order that ensures the conservation of the natural countryside and the sustainability of present and future generations.
