The Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), Luis Moreno Ocampo, asked the Colombian government on 31 March to send him detailed information on crimes committed during the government's war with the Revolutionary Armed Forces (FARC).

Moreno Ocampo indicated that he has information that "thousands of people have been killed, went missing, were kidnapped or forcibly displaced since 1 November 2002".

He also asked the government to communicate more details about proposals for a truce with the extreme-right paramilitary forces (AUC).

The ICC wants to find out if human rights violations were committed as much by the government army as by the FARC and the AUC. Bogota has said it will cooperate fully with the Court.
