SUBJECT: RECONCILIATION AND REPARATIONS CHIEF UPDATES 
DIPLOMATIC COMMUNITY ON PROGRESS 
 
------- 
Summary 
------- 
 
1. (SBU) On March 6, Eduardo Pizarro, president of the 
National Commission on Reparations and Reconciliation (CNRR), 
provided the diplomatic community with a progress report 
since its October launch. The CNRR was established by the 
Justice and Peace Law to recommend criteria for victim 
reparations and to ensure the victims were engaged in the 
process.  Many present acknowledged the CNRR,s work to date, 
underscored the hard road that lay ahead, and offered some 
thoughts on next steps.  End Summary. 
 
----------------------------------- 
Learning Lessons At Home and Abroad 
----------------------------------- 
 
2. (U) Pizzaro launched the meeting with a review of lessons 
learned from the Commission's study of other peace processes 
in Colombia and abroad.  He noted that the most successful 
programs had a limited number of victims, and key political, 
financial, and popular support.  Pizarro emphasized the 
importance of domestic financial resources, saying that 
over-reliance on international donations would be a mistake. 
 He also acknowledged that reparation efforts without 
international support have tended to fail. 
 
-------------------- 
Colombia's Situation 
-------------------- 
 
3. (SBU) Pizarro said Colombia is in a position to construct 
and implement a successful reparations program.  Colombia's 
strong institutional capacity, excellent human and economic 
resources, and stable society would aid in designing and 
implementing a strong program.  However, he cited the 
large*and growing*number of victims and the ongoing 
conflict as major challenges to the process.  Pizarro also 
reported that time-management and efficiency have been a 
problem for the CNRR.  In an effort to keep the CNRR working, 
the Commission has developed a &dual-speed strategy8 to 
allow it to tackle urgent issues, such as developing a 
victims, database and a pilot regional program, while it 
waits for the selection of the final two members of the 
Commission.  (The Commission selected its last two members 
March 8.  They are Patricia Helena Perdomo of the Fundacion 
Pais Libre and Regulo Madero Fernandez of Corporacion 
Nacion.) 
 
5. (SBU) Pizarro thanked the international community for its 
assistance, but highlighted the importance of not allowing 
this support to supplant domestic funding.  The GOC needed to 
determine how to sustain the program itself.  He acknowledged 
the big responsibility the CNRR has with the international 
financial support it is receiving.  IOM has been tasked with 
managing these funds to ensure optimal use. 
 
----------------- 
CNRR Way Forward 
----------------- 
 
6. (SBU) CNRR member Patricia Cespedes followed Pizarro,s 
comments with a presentation on the CNRR,s preliminary work 
plan.  The CNRR has established an Executive Commission to 
execute its decisions, which is divided into six work areas, 
each charged with carrying out different legal requirements. 
Commission members head committees on the work areas and will 
supervise activities.  The Commission expects to have a final 
plan by July and will hold a seminar at the end of June to 
present its three-year plan for each work area.  In July, the 
Commission will hold a closed-door session to make final 
decisions on the plan and then release it to the public. 
 
-------------------- 
Ambassadors Chime In 
-------------------- 
 
 
7. (SBU) Ambassadors in attendance acknowledged the efforts 
the CNRR had made thus far and the difficult road that lay 
ahead.  Ambassador Wood encouraged the Commission to take 
concrete action in the near-term to ensure it maintained the 
confidence and support of the Colombian people.  He 
encouraged the CNRR to increase its cooperation with the 
Fiscalia, and suggested the CNRR take advantage of the 
&version libre8 process to uncover illicit assets the 
demobilized may possess to use as reparations for victims. 
Wood said the publication of the government's list of 
individuals eligible for the Justice and Peace Law would 
likely accelerate the investigative process and provide 
another opportunity to uncover illicit assets to use in 
reparations.  He noted that once the list is published, those 
on it will be required to disclose their illicit assets, at 
which time the GOC will have control over that property, 
leaving it for reparations. Pizarro replied that the transfer 
of property will be difficult because of challenges in 
establishing legitimate ownership, but said Spain and Italy 
are sending experts to help sort out these issues.  Other 
ambassadors recommended the Commission ensure the public 
understands that the reparations process will be long and 
difficult, to manage expectations. 
 
8. (SBU) Some ambassadors emphasized the need for a realistic 
reparations program and improved coordination with the 
international community.  Canadian Ambassador Matthew Levin 
highlighted the importance of coordination between GOC 
institutions throughout this process.  Several others 
recommended the CNRR keep its plan updated and hold another 
session with the diplomatic community in July once the work 
plan had been finalized. 
 
9. (SBU) Others expressed concerns about defining the list of 
victims and the placement of the displaced on that list. 
Pizarro noted that the CNRR is legally obligated to address 
the displaced, but that multiple government agencies will be 
responsible for assisting them.  He also explained that the 
CNRR is working to provide reparations to communities, as 
well as individuals.  Pizarro said they are developing models 
for this process, by which communities will decide what would 
constitute an appropriate reparation, such as having 
 
demobilized combatants rebuild destroyed structures.
