I move:


That the Joint Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade -
- affirm that it believes that the people of Colombia have the right to a peacefully negotiated and just solution to the conflict in their country,
- recognise the efforts of civil society in Colombia in bringing about a peace process and support its demands to be involved in the current peace process,
- welcome the commitment of the Government of Colombia to the peace process,
- commend all parties involved in the recent steps to commence a new peace process, trusting that it will progress without pre-conditions being set by any party,
- offer to share the experiences we had negotiating a peace process in Northern Ireland and in the creation of the Good Friday Agreement, and the current issues we face in the implementation of this Agreement, and
- state its support for a negotiated solution to the conflict in Colombia.
