OAS REITERATES OFFER TO RECOVER BODIES OF DECEASED COLOMBIAN LAWMAKERS
July 10, 2007
The Organization of American States (OAS) has renewed its willingness to set up an international commission in Colombia to cooperate for the prompt return of the eleven bodies of the Colombian legislators to their relatives.
If good intentions to carry out this humanitarian action existed, there should not be any major problems left to overcome. The logistical aspects and the physical hand over would not be insurmountable obstacles. Along with other international organizations, the OAS stands ready to receive the bodies at an agreed location.
The OAS has called on the relevant persons who must make decisions on this regard, to take the proper steps and necessary practical agreements at the earliest timeframe. Once there is a commitment to meet these humanitarian objectives, we will quickly find an avenue to accomplish them.
Over the last decades, our region has experienced a dramatic suffering by families that have not even been able to claim the bodies of their deceased or disappeared. This ongoing pain in many of our countries should serve as a guide for the necessary action to end this tragedy as soon as possible. It is our hope that these eleven Colombians would not become part of that tragic list of disappeared people in our hemisphere.
