Death Raul Reyes, a few thoughts AN

After six years in power, and to apply the five point eight percent of gross domestic product to support the war, politics democratic security in Colombia has taken one of the results that he asked both the capture or terminate any of the members of the FARC leadership. Raul Reyes has been discharged but not very clear on operations of the Colombian armed forces in Ecuador. While it is true that the military is the constitutional obligation to "defend" the Colombians, it seems clear that greater efforts have been made to capture the rebel leader and his entourage. Especially if you consider that the intelligence they had, and the interception of a satellite call, gave certainty about the place and time where it would be the leader of the FARC. The other issue that is striking is how confusing the site of operations. The Colombian government participation ensures that air always done in a way that did not violate Ecuador's airspace, however striking as it does to bombed Ecuadorian territory without violating its airspace. Pretend today that the camp where he was discharged is in Colombian territory is to believe at face value the government statement without reading between the lines of inconsistencies in the official version, without understanding, that the camp was two miles inside Ecuadorian territory. This is not to underestimate what the death of Raul Reyes in the scenario involving the Colombian conflict is a military achievement relevant important political and military consequences on the height and internal armed conflict. Of what it is to put in mind that most of the blows point that the Colombian government has dealt to the FARC have been in confusing military operations in neighboring countries, which not only violate the sovereignty of these, but present serious risk to relations with neighboring countries. The armed forces are obliged to fulfill their duty, but that duty must be fulfilled within the strict rules of international humanitarian law and respect for the sovereignty of neighboring countries, not to legitimize the discourse is so much damage institutions have made to Colombia, those by which the end justifies the means, even if these means bring even worse consequences than it solves. Yet to be seen what the real consequences of the death of Raul Reyes, some analysts speak of a guerrilla troop demoralization, a mass abandonment of rows by guerillas fighters, feeling demoralized, vulnerable and unprotected. However, the opposite scenario is also possible. The escalation of military actions by the FARC to show that they are still capable of affecting the Colombian government, and strengthen their position, is an alternative that seems more in tune with the traditional behavior of the FARC.

The conflict should not and can not be won in any way, Colombian government and armed forces should not be the main violators of international law and international standards, the institutional is on your side, and the obligation to respect and enforce the law, otherwise, we return to as harmful speech whereby the end justifies the means.
