Article 23. Constitution of Colombia and LAW 1755 de 2015

WE THE ABORIGINAL ETHNIC RAIZAL PEOPLE OF SAN ANDRES, PROVIDENCE AND KEITHLEENORTH

Department Archipelago of San Andres, Providence and Santa Catalina

With Due respect we address the Honorable Assemble of the Department Archipelago of San Andres, Providence Santa Catalina, invoking the protection of God, in order to strengthen the unity of the Colombian and the Raizal nations in solidarity, to ensure justice in equity, to preserve a minimum vital space to execute and develop our identity and our culture, freedom and peace, rooted in our aboriginal and ancestral legitimacy, and for THE GUARANTEE OF OUR INSTITUTIONAL EXPRESSION, and,

Considering that:

1. That the Fundamental Principles of the Constitution of Colombia, of substantial legitimacy and essential goals of the State are to serve the community, promote general prosperity, and guarantee the effectiveness of the principles, legitimacy, justice, rights, and duties consecrated in the constitution; to ensure the fulfilment of the social duties and to recognize and protect the ethnic minorities of the State of Colombia.

2. That on the 23 of June 1822, we the aboriginal Raizal ethnic People of San Andres, Providence and Santa Catalina (Keithleenorth) Joined the Gran Colombia as an act of confidence, self-assurance and solidarity, which is said, ADHESION, but instead, THE STATE OF COLOMBIA, of absolute and uncastratable power over us, has been treating us as a SUMMITTED PEOPLE, or as THINGS OWNED BY THEM, negotiated to their interest and advantage and delivered our territory without our consent, to others, with a political policy in programing and affectively done a massive invasion to colombianize our people and our territory, outnumbering us, converting us as the only ethnic people minority in our home, taking away our Institutional Expression and devastated us, without consideration, wiping us, people and culture from the legitimate material rights in this our ancestral soil.

3. That Colombia through the National Constituent Assemble of 1991, recognized its historical wrongdoing of ethnocide, and to amend this devasting reality, ordered in the article 7 of the Constitution of Colombia, that “the State recognizes and protects the ethnic and cultural diversity of the Colombia Nation”

4. The article 310, recognizes us the Raizal People and that we extinction and helpless, without institutional Expression, and to compensate in repairing us, ordered the Departmental Assemble of San Andres, Providence and Santa Catalina, (Keithleenorth) to recognize and protect us and to GUARANTEE THE INSTITUTIONAL EXPRESSION of THE RAIZAL COMMUNITIES, to create the needed municipalities which are San Luis ( Gough), Hill and North End.

   Providence has already since 1953 an ethnic municipality, and is guaranteed their institutional expression.

5. That the article 6 of the Constitution establishes that Individuals are responsible before the authorities only for violation of the constitution and the law. Public servants, are responsible for the same violations and the omission or ultra vires acts committed in exercise of their functions.

6. The deputies are public servants, and are responsible to fulfill integrally the CONSTITUTION AND THE LAWS, but nevertheless, over 33 years (1991-2024), is unconcern and has not fulfill its duties, evidently because the ASSEMBLE, is not and does not represent the institutional expression of the Raizal people, which in good faith, we must believe it is not because of bad will, but because of the reality of the political and cultural context created by the establishment that has us minimized and invisible into our own territory.

7. That the INSTITUTIONAL EXPESSION is the exclusive faculty of a people, (Ethnic Community) to manifest their will, take decision by their own, and effectively have it to be respected and to be done into their own legitimate established space, or territory.

   
   

For these facts, Constitution and basic reasons.
