The State of Colombia has devoted significant attention to indigenous  issues and to the development of plans and proposals to  address the recommendations of the former Special Rapporteur, but  indigenous peoples in the country continue to face serious  problems which have not been addressed with the urgency that the gravity  of the situation merits, says Special Rapporteur  James Anaya in a report following a visit to the country to examine  progress made after his predecessor’s visit there.
