ICC to investigate impunity allegations

The International Criminal Court (ICC) will investigate allegations that Colombia’s government used extradition as a tool to secure impunity for Congressmen with ties to paramilitary groups.

Ivan Cepeda, director of the National Movement of State Crimes, said he will denounce at the ICC the extradition of paramilitary warlords to the USA as an instrument of impunity as they are out reach of Colombian justice to redress the victims of their crimes against humanity once they arrive in the American jails.

Both Cepeda and National Police commander Oscar Naranjo will meet Wednesday with ICC investigators.

Naranjo announced he will defend Colombian law enforcement agencies and explain they work hard to guarantee the respect for human rights and the protection for all Colombain citizens.
