In negotiating conflicts arise situations where the parties principles or convenience are putting down roots in positions that do not yield even at the cost of not making agreements or approaches. In the case of a humanitarian accord that has been promoted between the Government of Colombia and the FARC to release hostages, President Uribe established principles are not negotiable and has called immovable or points that do not sag or are subject to negotiation.
for President Uribe, the immovable for eventual negotiations with the FARC, is the refusal to demilitarize in populated areas and large, such as the municipalities of Pradera and Florida in the Valle del Cauca and the condition through which the guerrillas, who are eventually released from prison, do not return to the ranks of the insurgents to continue terrorizing the countryside of Colombia.
For the FARC the immovable is the condition that they cleared the municipalities of Pradera and Florida. In this they are engaged for many months, so far have not given one iota in its claims and it seems that they will not do. It seems that the FARC intended to get back an area similar to the Caguan where they can control a territory militarily, will serve as a refuge for his fighters, would enable him to recover from the hard blows received during the Uribe administration and thus regain strength and military importance they once had. For the FARC a demilitarized Pradera and Florida would be the opportunity to be reborn and become the political and military counterparts they seek. With a clearance of this nature could aspire to be regarded as an insurgent force by the international community, even more now with the support they are receiving from Colonel Chávez, President of Venezuela. Advocates
this clear, as former President Pastrana, have said they will only be for a short time and not have negative consequences for democratic stability. I wonder, if once established the demilitarized zone y se empiece a hablar de una negociación de paz; la comunidad internacional, las ONG’s, el Polo Democrático, Chávez, Cuba y aun gobiernos Europeos no ejercerán una gran presión sobre el gobierno para que se vaya prorrogando indefinidamente el despeje, como ya sucedió.
La pregunta entonces es; ¿Debe el presidente Uribe mover sus inamovibles y permitir un despeje en Pradera y Florida, para permitir la negociación de un acuerdo humanitario y la liberación de los secuestrados?
Viendo las pruebas de supervivencia y el dolor de los familiares de las victimas en poder de las FARC se tiene la tendencia a pensar que valdría la pena ceder a las pretensiones de la guerrilla y buscar así negotiation.
But looking at things coldly and weighting in the overall interest thereon, the government must never accept a demilitarized zone in populated areas. The intention of guerrilla is a demilitarized zone where they can reach and control armed. Doing so would give a few miscreants, who have no human consideration in their forms of struggle, a defenseless civilian population. Doing so would break with all the principles of territorial sovereignty and rights of citizens. Kidnapping would deliver some residents in exchange for an alleged release of other hostages. Would redeem each other in the best. Would give a piece Colombia's armed force that does not recognize democracy, the constitution and that is backed by a government expansionist neighbor, not democratic principles, thus threatening the political stability and territorial integrity.
The solution proposed by the Church is sound. The international community should support. It is clear sparsely populated areas, a proposal already accepted by the national government. Hopefully the guerrillas consider. It would be a great relief to the hostages and their families.
While the obligation of the government and the Colombian army is to keep chasing, cornering and beating them, as required by the constitution and rules legal force. Jorge Pineda
