        partners of the United States to enact laws prohibiting 
        businesses from complying with the boycott and penalizing

                prosecuting, in the civilian justice system, those 
                members of the Colombian Armed Forces, of whatever

                human rights violations, including extra-judicial 
                killings, torture, or attacks against human rights 
                defenders, or to have aided or abetted paramilitary

                Forces found to have committed such violations of human 
                rights or to have aided or abetted paramilitary 
                organizations or successor armed groups.

                prosecutors and judicial authorities in cases referred 
                to in subparagraph (B) (including providing requested 
                information, such as the identity of persons suspended 
                from the Armed Forces and the nature and cause of the 
                suspension, and access to witnesses, relevant military 
                documents, and other requested information).

                property rights of Colombia's indigenous and Afro-
                Colombian communities, and that the Colombian Armed 
                Forces are appropriately distinguishing between

                substantial progress in and are severing links 
                (including denying access to military intelligence, 
                vehicles, and other equipment or supplies, and ceasing 
                other forms of active or tacit cooperation) at all 
                levels, with paramilitary organizations or successor 
                armed groups, especially in regions in which such

                    (F) The civilian judicial authorities of the 
                Government of Colombia are making demonstrable progress 
                in dismantling paramilitary leadership and financial 
                networks by arresting and vigorously prosecuting under 
                civilian criminal law individuals who have provided 
                financial, planning, or logistical support, or have 
                otherwise aided or abetted paramilitary organizations

                by paramilitary organizations or their associates and 
                returning such land or assets to their rightful owners, 
                by revoking reduced sentences for demobilized 
                paramilitaries who engage in new criminal activity, and
