Four trade unionists have already been assassinated in the first three months of 2013…[R]elentless attacks on the Colombian trade union movement, include[e] the constant intimidation, harassment, persecution and murder of union leaders and members, in blatant violation of the core ILO Conventions ratified by Colombia.
