As I indicated to the Deputy in my reply to him on 10 November 2004, I have recently written to Foreign Minister Barco to again stress to her the importance of an early decision in the appeal. I observed that when she met my predecessor at the United Nations in New York last September, she indicated that she shared our wish for an early decision and, while emphasising the independence of the courts in Colombia, was hopeful that the appeal would be concluded some time in the autumn.
I assure the Deputy that I will continue to monitor this case closely and provide all possible consular assistance to the three men as well as to their families and representatives.
