In conformity with instructions just received, I have the honour to transmit to you the requisite details concerning the events which occurred in this town and the present divergencies between Peru and Colombia. The occupation of LETICIA by a group of Peruvians on September 1st, 1932» and the expulsion of the Colombian authorities is the origin of the present dispute. LETICIA, a port on the river Amazon, was founded by Peruvians more than a century ago. It has always been inhabited by Peruvians, but was ceded to Colombia under the Salamon-Lozano Treaty which, in I9 2 8 , fixed the frontier between the two countries. The accusations brought by the Colombian Government against the assailants are absolutely unfounded.

Johnson Edmond, Oklahoma April 30, 2015 PUBLIC HEALTH IMPLICATIONS OF COLOMBIAN DIASPORA iii Acknowledgements If I could only tangibly extend a gulf of gratitude to my mentor Dr. Kimberly Davison for her unwavering guidance, compassion, methodical dexterity, and immeasurable patience of my labors. Likewise, this work would not be possible without my assiduous thesis committee, Drs. Sunshine Cowan, and Tawni Holmes who steadfastly provided me pronounced insights, supplemental regulation, and rigorous austerity required of my exploration. I would also like to acknowledge all departmental staff and faculty of Kinesiology and Health, Political Science, History, and the Graduate College who in some preposterous form or another has incalculably abetted me from monumental disaster. This thesis saw me through various governmental bodies, institutions, jungles, and slums of Colombia and without the assistance of many, this project would simply not have been possible. From the slums of Bogotá and Medellín, I transport memories and lessons of real world survival where despondency paradigmatically pleats outside the textbook margins. Where both insolvency and wealth, and the hopeful and hopeless can mutually coexist, yet expire in a whipping defeat. Through the allied support of colleagues, friends and family, and for those who realize that utopic reveries of an improved world are preconditioned with first realizing some uncomfortable truths, this thesis too, would not be possible.

  • The Leticia Incident
    The Leticia Incident The Colombian - Peruvian Border Conflict of 1932-1934 Exhibit Focus This thematic exhibit explores the territorial dispute between Colombia and Peru over control of the city of Leticia in Department of Amazonas and the League of Nations involvement in resolving the conflict. Introduction Local Peruvians, angry that Leticia had been ceded to Colombia in 1922, invaded Leticia to regain control of the territory. After nine months of fighting, Colombia and Peru agreed to abide by League arbitration to settle the quarrel. The League sent a Commission for the Administration of the Territory of Leticia to the area for one year. During peace treaty negotiations, a neutral military force under the Commission’s supervision policed the disputed territory. Exhibit Development The story-line progresses chronologically from the initial invasion of Colombian territory by Peru, through peace negotiations, to the League’s final decision to award the city and territory to Colombia.

Authors: Runge, C. Ford1 Senauer, Benjamin2 C. Ford Runge is Distinguished McKnight University Professor of Applied Economics and Law and Director of the Center for International Food and Agricultural Policy at the University of Minnesota. Benjamin Senauer is Professor of Applied Economics and Co-director of the Food Industry Center at the University of Minnesota. Source: Foreign Affairs; May/Jun2007, Vol. 86 Issue 3, p41-53, 13p Document Type: Article Abstract: The article discusses the effect on food supply that an increase in ethanol production could create. Ethanol is being sought as an alternative to petroleum-based fuels. Ethanol is made from corn. The increased demand for ethanol means less corn will be available as a food source, and food prices will rise. The rise in corn prices could have a deleterious effect on poor and developing nations. The European Union is promoting use of biodiesel made in Europe from rapeseeds and sunflower seeds. Ethanol production is highly subsidized by the U.S. federal government. The article also discusses the environmental impact of increased corn growing. Section: Essays How Biofuels Could Starve the Poor The Ethanol Bubble In 1974, as the United States was reeling from the oil embargo imposed by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, Congress took the first of many legislative steps 1 to promote ethanol made from corn as an alternative fuel.

  • Dispute Between Colombia and Peru
    [Communicated to the Council Official No. : C. 194. M. 91. 1033. VII. and the Members of the League.] Geneva, March 16th, 1933. LEAGUE OF NATIONS Dispute between Colombia and Peru : COLOMBIA’S APPEAL UNDER ARTICLE 15 OF THE COVENANT LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE COMMITTEE OF THE COUNCIL TO THE ACTING PRESIDENT OF THE COUNCIL Geneva, March 16th, 1933. Sir, On March 1st, your Committee submitted to the Council, in accordance with its instructions, a statement regarding the dispute between Colombia and Peru, and the terms of settlement thereof as provided in Article 15, paragraph 3, of the Covenant. The Council adopted the statement together with the terms of settlement of the dispute. The representative of the Colombian Government informed the Council that he also accepted them. The representative of the Peruvian Government asked for a few days’ delay before giving his final reply. The representative of the Penivian Government has not since then definitely rejected the proposals put forward by the Council, but has made a series of counter-proposals which have been communicated to the Council together with the comments of the Committee thereon. On March 8th, the Committee informed the Council that it did not consider that the counter­ proposals of the Peruvian Government offered a basis of solution to the dispute which it could recommend to the Council and the Colombian Government for adoption. It therefore very reluc­ tantly suggested that it should be authorised to prepare the draft report for submission to the Council, in accordance with paragraph 4 of Article 15. The Council gave its approbation to this course.
