The UN representative is said to be “extremely concerned” because the FARC seem to be “completely unaware of human rights standards and international human rights.”

According to the UN representative, the situation of the indigenous in Colombia is “serious, critical and deeply concerning.” However, Anaya recognized the Uribe administration had made steps forward when it comes to health and education.
