Colombia is filing protest against Chávez's proposal over rebel groups

Colombian High Commissioner for Peace Luis Carlos Restrepo Wednesday declared that the Colombian government is making a verbal protest before Caracas to rebut President Hugo Chávez's petition that the rebel Colombian Revolutionary Armed Forces (FARC) are no longer called terrorist.

Restrepo told Colombian reporters that Álvaro Uribe's administration is forwarding the communication to Venezuelan Foreign Minister Nicolás Maduro. 

"There cannot be interference with the Colombian domestic affairs. We are a sovereign state and all we are asking the world is not acquiescence to terrorists, but cooperation to fight terrorism," Restrepo told radio station La FM. 

He reminded that there are resolutions issued by the Organization of American States and the United Nations about the non-interference with the domestic affairs of other states and the rejection against terrorism. He added that such conventions could not be disregarded, DPA reported.
