we have registered between january two thousand and seven and june two thousand and eight are five hundred thirty five unlawful executions reported to our organizations. at first there was a decree known as the cap to creep relating to rewards for operations of national importance. and. in other words troop members were given significant sums of money if they shot individuals who were thought to be guerillas . what the country wasn't told is that the when the to create was revoked a secret directive was a shoot that kept the same rewards for every enemy shot. it was the soldiers have to achieve results their careers are sest according to performance if they've got nothing to show and they have to be created. i repeat to you the government's firm will to achieve a country without corellas about paramilitaries or drug trafficking or corruption.

i disappeared from the neighborhood. at about four pm. he was killed the following day eleven hours later at about five am. i was found about one hundred sixty kilometers away. he left me the poaches and i kept looking at them. and they'd put an old rifle beside him. and i noticed he had a white t. shirt and a jacket but that given him. alexander was mentally ill he was never in the army he didn't know a thing about weapons and there placed a machine gun beside a really powerful weapon. next to the other boy they put a less powerful gun even though he was good with weapons. he knew everything about weapons how could he have just an old rifle while alexander who was sick someone
4:41 pm
had a few screws loose how could he have a machine gun. they killed them and they put weapons beside them it's easy. was it doesn't look that a case exploded precisely one month after the defense minister declared september ninth national human rights day in the us. he also said that unlawful executions were practically over. and the
4:42 pm
defense minister told us on september the ninth just over a month ago what follows some continue ignoring reality and they try to sell a fourth hit government policy regarding extrajudicial executions as they improperly caught they use the numbers through villages demise police forces but when these reports are actually investigate is nothing is ever found that. in late september the events in so archer were revealed. these events unearth the truth that can no longer be hidden. cases of young people disappearing and so watch them found murdered in a cave yard in the sometime dare region of north and then claim

a tower were published. it was the last straw. the reports made public the overwhelming and unnatural reality of also as positive force and extrajudicial killings. many people didn't believe. it started to become clear that it wasn't just isolated cases but a model of scandal showing the full atrocity of the fossils positivist case finally exploded when. i had the opportunity of presenting the problem to president uribe on various occasions in the past i've been watching them both in private and in meetings in washington and in bogota and he never wanted to discuss the issue. he would get angry and nervous whenever it was raised. he would discredit it as an international smear campaign. a guerilla has
4:44 pm
a new strategy because. every time a warrior is shot dead it is immediately clear at home and abroad. that it was an extrajudicial execution. would normally. be at the scene for the has the largest number of murders of union members in the world simply because they were doing their jobs that. just for the colombian state or peculiar store cold sociological reasons has slowly turned into a criminal apparatus for the middle east and at the very least the whole
4:45 pm
institutions of the state have taken on this form. of the first through torture but then with the desaparecidos but the creation of paramilitary groups that turned into a strategy which has had the form of a very strong national structure for my. north and i would we put it this way then the practice of extrajudicial executions and forced displacement. is for the forms of social control in such an elitist and all sorts hereon country and in such a polarized society turn violence into a tool for regular isolation. was
4:46 pm
. going to stoke on beyond this state. if colombia has generated policies that favor a massive systematic violation of human rights our own colombia has very serious deficits as far as justice is concerned general rule in colombia is impunity. for the policies of secure a dad and democratica which propelled us government are founded on the militarization of society in other words on the growth of the war machine because the colombian army has grown rapidly it was in the last few years it has doubled in strength because of the armed struggle in the country you know so there is a whole range of controls and internal systems we believe ought to be reformed and improved it is also characterized by the creation of a secret police which persecutes opponents so let's turn the paramilitary groups
4:47 pm
into a structure so even if they have been apparently disbanded they will continue to operate very intensely controlling a good part of the national territory. if they call me and i reply i am a colombian to secure a dad democratica is a good thing the problem is that there are bad elements and the army and the police and in other bodies they aren't applying the law as they should what's wrong with a security guard democratica is the rewards given to servicemen when they turn up with a positive. no rewards policy is necessary to fight crime. but we really should revise our policy . if we don't it is either interpreted wrongly or fulfilled in a criminal manner it is in the more people that are shot the more convenient it is for a military unit or individual soldier because it allows them to get home leave to
4:48 pm
go and see their mothers and girlfriends but it also allows them to advance in their careers to win the respect of other service men. it helps gain decorations and it often wins them rewards in cash which also end up in the hands of civilians were critters of these young men and of some service man. you.
4:49 pm
meet in. in. that is it was there i first took part because of a neighbor of mine. is name was son one santiago. my job was to go around cars with him to help sell cocaine what you see on january third or fourth two thousand and seven asked me for the first time to help him take a bunch of young guys someplace. when we got there we got a call from the army i didn't know it was for the army i only found out there and then but those kids were for the army that. would look easy when you just know you
4:50 pm
. rumors going around the neighborhood about these guys say they get the money straight out of the hands of the army people they deliver the kids to. school with us on americans the army buys them like merchandise fabio would give me four hundred six hundred or seven hundred per person leave me a mine just over there. a friend came looking for him and in all five thirty pm the limp lady asked him he looking for an answer to a blond kid leaned out of the small window on the second floor and came out with a standard somewhere in the park talked for a while and then left and that was the last time anyone saw him. look it is what they were saying in the bars was that they would give you two million pesos for every kid. you just have to convince them by promising a job then simply take them out of town and hand them over to the army and they say
4:51 pm
he'd been offered to pay eight hundred thousand passes plus board and lodging. we went there to pick up two kids isn't the way it was about seven or eight pm and there was an army lorry waiting for us. coming on the interstate this bit and we got out of the taxi with the kids would be all went over to speak with the army guys while the two kids waited. on the sick and then just the two of us got back into the taxi and headed back to kenya. and as we know they ended up lying in a field somewhere armed and dead. and it was good for business too because of the shot dead an enemy. the soldiers would get home leave and then we could sell i'm cold. there's a young woman so we get two deals for the price of one. and
4:52 pm
. you know just like that's what these people were saying in the bars. because they are people without ordinary feelings. they just go around bars telling people how they sold them and how much they made. want what they have got no problem telling you what happens to this kid. and only what was even the procedure was always the same if we take them to our can you know and when the order came from the battalion to deliver them would hand them over to the army.
4:53 pm
after seeing the poses i got in touch with the secretary and they told me i had to go to iraq to start custody prestigious to get custody of the body wants to give us new disability very well went to recover their bodies. once they gave us notice of delivery we went to recover the bodies. which. we left at half past three in the morning. to go to the human rights office. in.
4:54 pm
with that we go to barbara cohen at about nine am. on. the. air they gave us their medical examination papers for my brother alexander them and. their lives on the minute and for no beryl the other young man who died with him. and the medical examination office they gave us the death certificate and the woman who was the medical examiner there were cold war. so they gave us the bodies we thought that if we can arrive in time we could have buried them in the guitar the same day.
4:55 pm
if they injured him because what i got is that they hit him with one or two bullets . and on the death certificate it says death do you just several gunshots. my saddest part of the story was when nobody arrow's mom asked me the meaning of death by acute hemorrhage like anemia or because she didn't understand them and. i thought the clearest thing to say was that they bled to death you get out at huge human ranjit and mania we asked what it was and they said they'd bled to death both of them actors brother and a row. and they died so close to the hospital in the city you know it wouldn't. name logical for the army people themselves even if they were real criminals to take them to the hospital to try and rescue them but instead they left them to die
4:56 pm
