Columbia executes Union leaders and has NO labor rules to protect its citizens. Still, they make China look like a saint.
"Human rights groups estimate that around 1.3 million people - of a total population of 37 million - have been forced to flee their homes in the past five years as a consequence of the civil war, which has stretched out for nearly five decades.

"Report: 90 Trade Unionists Murdered in 2007; 39 in Colombia
"A new report has found more than ninety trade unionists were murdered last year while defending workers� rights. Thirty-nine of the murders occurred in Colombia. Guy Ryder of the International Trade Union Confederation said, "Governments have failed to do enough to protect workers� rights, either at home or in their international diplomatic, economic and trade relations.�

Okay, so you think shutting down Free Trade with Colombia will help their civil war, when basically the FARC is based on drugs? Creating economic opportunity for their population will make farmers switch from growing coca to coffee, or fruits or something that is legal.
The civil war sucks, but we should stick our heads in the sand? Should we not trade to Afghanistan either? Or Iraq? Or Thailand and the Philippines? They all have rebellions of some sort.
And there are no labor laws. Guess what? Most developing nations have piss poor labor laws. The fact is, neither did we in the beginning, but we slowly got them through the sacrifice of brave men and women. Colombia, in time, will grow internally to get the same standards we have now. Going out and punishing them for practices will ultimately harm both economies, especially Colombia.
