The Embassy of Colombia in Ottawa indicated that Colombian authorities cannot determine whether a specific individual actually lost his or her Colombian nationality without information on the specific individual (8 May 1997).
However, please note that Response to Information Request COL23074.E of 13 February 1996 provides extensive information on acquisition, loss and recovery of Colombian nationality. COL23074.E provides English-language documentation, including constitutional and other provisions, on the specific circumstances under which someone could lose his or her Colombian nationality. The documents attached to COL23074.E also describe how Colombia allows multiple nationality since 1993, and how persons who lost their Colombian nationality under previous Constitutional provisions can now recover their Colombian nationality.
This Response was prepared after researching publicly accessible information currently available to the DIRB within time constraints. This Response is not, and does not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular claim to refugee status or asylum.
