Colombia bars social leaders from speaking before UN security council
UN ambassadors will only hear Duque on troubled peace process
by Adriaan Alsema April 11, 2022
The United Nations’ Security Council will not allow social leaders to contradict President Ivan Duque on Colombia’s peace process.
The Security Council will meet in New York on Tuesday for its quarterly session on the implementation of a 2016 peace deal with now-defunct guerrilla group FARC.
These sessions have always been attended by Colombia’s foreign minister to represent the State and a social leader to represent civil society. This time, only Duque will address the UN ambassadors.
The ambassador of the United Kingdom, who presides the Security Council, for some reason agreed to make sure that nobody can contradict the president.
