Colombia: Overseas Investment
Asked by: Baroness Coussins (Crossbench - Life peer) Thursday 4th April 2024 Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office: To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to continue with the Colombia–UK Bilateral Investment Treaty after October 2024; and, if it is continued, what plans they have to increase protections for (1) human rights, and (2) the environment. Answered by Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon - Minister of State (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office) I regularly raise human rights issues, as well as specific cases of concern with the Colombian Government. The UK-Colombia Bilateral Investment Treaty plays an important role in supporting the investment relationship between the UK and Colombia by protecting investors from arbitrary, discriminatory, and unfair treatment, as well as expropriation without adequate compensation. The UK is content with the standard of protection that it currently provides to investors of both the UK and Colombia. Colombia is a Human Rights Priority Country for the British Government and we actively engage with civil society through regular channels regarding our human rights concerns. |

Columbia: Trade Agreements
Asked by: Baroness Coussins (Crossbench - Life peer) Thursday 4th April 2024 Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office: To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the high number of Investor-State Dispute Settlement cases against Columbia; and the impact of these cases on (1) the implementation of the Columbian Peace Accord, (2) the UK's role as penholder at the UN Security Council, and (3) human rights and the environment in Columbia. Answered by Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon - Minister of State (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office) I regularly raise human rights issues, as well as specific cases of concern with the Colombian Government. The UK Government cannot comment on legal disputes arising from Bilateral Investment Treaties where it is not a party to the dispute. Resolution of any such disputes is a matter for the Government of Colombia and the investors concerned. Colombia is a Human Rights Priority Country for the British Government and we actively engage with civil society through regular channels regarding our human rights concerns. |
