Two members of the Colombian delegation at COP27 denounced for sexual harassment

MADRID, 13 Nov. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Secretariat of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change has filed a complaint against two members of the official Colombian delegation to COP27, held in Sharm el Sheikh, Egypt.

"In accordance with the Code of Conduct of the UNFCCC, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, acting as National Focal Point before the Convention, has proceeded to suspend the accreditations of these two delegates, while the Secretariat advances in the investigation", explained the Colombian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in a statement.

"The National Government is emphatic in condemning any act of intimidation, harassment or violation of women's rights," he added.

The Colombian delegation arrived in Egypt on November 6 led by President Gustavo Petro. For now, no further details have been released about what happened or who are those indicated by the complaint.

After the statement was released, the Minister of the Interior, Alfonso Prada, has indicated that the COP27 Secretariat has requested to suspend the accreditation of two people registered in the Colombian delegation.

However, the accusations are not related to officials of the National Government, he has indicated, since representatives of civil society, businessmen and representatives of other branches of power also traveled in the delegation, reports the newspaper 'El Tiempo'.
