Colombia decides against 'state of exception' http://colombiareports.com/colombia-news/news/10549-colombia-decides-against-declaring-state-of-exception.html

After a meeting at the Casa de Nariño Tuesday, the Colombian government decided against declaring a "state of exception" over the emergence of illegal armed groups in the Andean nation, but reached an agreement with Superior Council of Justice regarding ongoing impunity for criminals in remote regions in Colombia.

Uribe came under fire after proposing calling a state of exception, with critics accusing him of suggesting the declaration in order to make an executive order to appoint a new prosecutor general. The election of the prosecutor general is the responsibility of the Supreme Court, but has been delayed for months because the court cannot reach the necessary consensus on a candidate.
