police personnel entrusted with the protection of towns or individuals in human riqhts violations. Indeed, the massacres or murders perpetrated bv paramilitarv qrouos often occur when these militarv or police personnel lift their road blocks or replace their escorts. The murder of Diana Cardona Saldarriaqa, the mayor of Apartado, occurred when her DAS bodvquards were relieved, shortlv before the arrival of the fresh escort. Moreover, Bernardo Jamarillo was killed in the middle of Boqotá international airport bv a vounq man who had been able to enter unhindered with his weapon despite the numerous checks planned for that day. At the time he was not wearinq a bullet-proof vest, contrary to his custom, and the internal television scanner was not on. The Communist youth leader José Anteauerra and the Liberal Partv's preliminary presidential candidate Ernesto Samper had been assassinated one vear earlier, in identical circumstances. 16. Lastly, IFHR wishes to recall that no action whatsoever has vet been taken in reqard to the complaints lodqed aqainst General Bedova, the former Commandant of the Meta reqion, in whose administrative area 300 militants of the Patriotic Union were assassinated. 17. Althouqh IFHR welcomed the first measures taken bv the Barco Government aqainst the paramilitary qroups in Mav 1989, it can onlv note, one vear later, that those measures have been utterlv ineffective. 18. In view of situations of such qravitv, IFHR cannot but appeal to the Sub-Commission to respond and to take into consideration the full importance of this aqenda item.
