Abstract

Over the year ICRC delegates made 66 visits to 34 places of detention in Colombia, all of which were under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Justice. During these visits 810 security detainees were seen and 217 new detainees were registered. In spite of repeated attempts, ICRC delegates were not granted access to detainees being interrogated by the armed forces and the police. Nonetheless, in December 1990 the Departamento Administrativo de Seguridad (DAS), which comes under the direct control of the Presidency, gave formal authorization for ICRC delegates to visit its detainees.
