Colombia will accuse Venezuela to Organization of American States (OAS) about providing a safe haven for left-wing guerrillas of Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (Farc) and National Liberation Army (ELN)
The Organization of American States (OAS) is to hold a special meeting on 22 July to hear Colombia’s complaint that Venezuela tolerates Colombian rebel camps on its territory.
Colombia says it has strong evidence that Venezuela is providing a safe haven for left-wing guerrillas.
Venezuela strongly denies the charge.
It has accused Colombia’s President, Alvaro Uribe, of trying to provoke a diplomatic crisis before he leaves office next month.
“Colombia has the right to denounce in front of the international community the presence of guerrillas in Venezuela”, Colombian Interior Minister Fabio Valencia said.
