Due to the worsening human rights situation facing Indigenous People in Colombia the National Indigenous Peace Council (Consejo Nacional Indígena de Paz – CONIP) convened an independent and international mission to follow up on the recommendations made in 2004 by the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Indigenous Issues, Rodolfo Stavenhagen. From September 19 to 29, 2006, the International Verification Mission had the objective of verifying the state of compliance with the recommendations. The Mission also produced a report for the international community to use to hold the Colombian government accountable to national and international agreements and commitments on the rights of indigenous peoples.
