This report describes the activities implemented and the financial status of the Program for Strengthening Peace in Colombia during the first quarter of the second year (July through September, 2002). This period also represents the first quarter of the recently approved twenty four month extension beginning in July 2002. During this reporting period $614,955 additional funds for sub-grants, in-kind contributions and contracts were obligated to approved projects furthering their impact throughout the country. Key achievements include the following: 1.1 Project Implementation v Support provided to 34 organizations (9 during this quarter) for the design/formulation of an equal number of projects that were submitted for joint USAID and IOM approval. v Activities carried out in 56 municipalities in 11 departments that directly and indirectly benefit some 89,541 and 265,968 persons, respectively. v Three regional and local NGOs (Shadai, FINDES and the Red de Mujeres Chocoanas) were strengthened through the sponsorship of peace initiatives and provision of technical assistance. v Eight new joint initiatives were launched with established NGOs and one government agency (Luis Carlos Galán Institute, FENACON, Hemera Foundation, VallenPaz, CCONG and Observatorio para la Paz / Confederation of Chambers of Commerce, and the Office of the High Commissioner for Peace). v Extensive coordination with 4 governmental agencies, including the Office of the High Commissioner for Peace (International Seminar on Reinsertion and the project “Human Memory”) and the municipalities of Barrancabermeja, San Vicente del Caguán and San Gil (negotiation of covenants and the construction of Peaceful Co-Existence Centers). 1.2 Program Design. v A mechanism was developed to respond to emerging priorities such as the Red de Mujeres Chocoanas Project that addresses the needs of women of Chocó after repeated attacks by the FARC and the founding of a Co-existence Center in San Gil. v The successful model of “Development and Peace” that was first tested with Vallenpaz is being replicated by two NGOs: Shadai and FINDES. Their target populations are women and Afro- Colombians at high risk of displacement. v The model Center for Peaceful Co-existence in Barrancabermeja will be replicated in 12 additional municipalities, including those prioritized by the Office of the High Commissioner for Peace (Monterrey, Department of Casanare and Arauquita, in the Department of Arauca). v A project card was prepared for USAID approval for each of the following four organizations: Fundación Hemera, the Office of the High Commissioner for Peace, Cauca Indigenous Regional Assembly and Luis Carlos Galán Institute. v Priority geographical areas were defined: Chocó/Antioquia, southern Colombia and Magdalena Medio. The following strategic areas were also approved: Reconciliation and Assistance to Victims and Excluded Groups, Support to the GOC to Improve its Participation in the Peace and Co- existence Efforts, Strengthening Civil Society Participation, and, Support for the Development and Implementation of Peace Models. 1.3 Administrative and Financial. v Total, cumulative program expenditures reached $1,968,830.41 by September 30, 2002. v Total obligations for approved projects totaled $3,161,825 with an average contribution of $92,994. Disbursements of $1,579,756 were made to approved projects, with a remainder of $1,582,0697of unliquidated obligations (pending receipt by IOM of activity and financial reports from sub-grantees and contractors). v Leveraging of significant counterpart funds with commitments totaling $6,802,857 or 54% of the total budget for approved projects. 3 v Contracting and orientation of a new Program Officer (a lawyer with a Masters in Public Policy and Administration). v Adjustments to the Project Monitoring Database and team training sessions on data entry. This report is organized as follows: Section II provides contextual information on the Colombian conflict, with special emphasis on its current tendency toward escalation, and on the proposals set forth by the newly elected President, Mr. Alvaro Uribe. The ongoing debate in civil society, academia and government provides interesting perspectives on themes relevant to the Strengthening Peace Program, including reinsertion strategies with the armed actors, Peace Initiatives and Civilian Resistance, Paeces and Guambianos Indigenous tribes, Women´s March and Youth for Peace National Assembly. In Section III, the portfolio of approved projects is analyzed by geographical location, component and with reference to the context in which these projects are being developed. In Section IV, financial implementation is detailed by budget line item and project; in the final section, Section V, a plan of action is outlined for the next quarter in light of the recent approval of a program extension. Descriptions and status reports of all ongoing projects and copies of photographs and visual materials produced under sponsored projects are included as Annexes 1 to 5. 4 2. CONTEXT. During this reporting period, Colombia witnessed the transition from the Pastrana

    REVISTA DE CIENCIA POLÍTICA / VOLUMEN 41 / N° 2 / 2021 / 291-320 COVID IN COLOMBIA: A CRISIS OF GovERNABILITY AND RESPONSE COVID en Colombia: una crisis de gobernabilidad y de respuesta MANUELA MUÑOZ Texas A&M University, United States Artículos MÓNICA PACHÓN PolíticCienciaa Universidad de los Andes, Colombia ABSTRACT The explosive growth of the COVID-19 pandemic in the year 2020 presented a sharp challenge to the institutional and economic capacity of countries around the world. This article examines efforts to confront and cope with the pandemic in a specific case, that of Colombia. It identifies a crisis of governability in the country that has been exacerbated by the pandemic, but which preceded COVID-19 and is likely to outlast it as well. We describe the context in which the pandemic unfolded and the government’s response, which has laid bare the fragility of Colombia’s socioeconom- ic and political achievements, evidencing deeper structural problems. The country is subject to a high level of informality in the economy’s, a lack of social safety nets for more than half of the population, and the ongoing presence of violence and illegal groups. With the pandemic added to this backdrop, social tensions rose, and blame games and confrontations between national and subnational governments became part of the daily news. Policy measures were undertaken to reduce the number of in- fections, including extensive lockdowns; while assessments of their effectiveness in meeting their stated objectives vary, there has undeniably been significant regression on economic and social indicators. The dynamics of the 2022 elections will undoubt- edly be marked by the consequences of the COVID-19 emergency.

  • The Extradition of Nationals in Colombia and the Dominican Republic
    Fordham International Law Journal Volume 22, Issue 5 1998 Article 12 Removing Drug Lords and Street Pushers: The Extradition of Nationals in Colombia and the Dominican Republic Joshua H. Warmund∗ ∗ Copyright c 1998 by the authors. Fordham International Law Journal is produced by The Berke- ley Electronic Press (bepress). http://ir.lawnet.fordham.edu/ilj Removing Drug Lords and Street Pushers: The Extradition of Nationals in Colombia and the Dominican Republic Joshua H. Warmund Abstract This Comment explores the interplay between drug trafficking and extradition policy in the U.S.-Latin American-Caribbean region by focusing upon the recent legal shift in Colombia and the Dominican Republic. Part I describes the status of current international extradition law, focusing on modern extradition policy. In particular, this part details the respective extradition treaties of Colombia and the Dominican Republic with the United States. Part I also explores the roles that these two nations assume trafficking drugs into the United States and highlights the corresponding U.S. anti-drug enforcement response. Finally, Part I examines the challenges that drug traffick- ing and certain anti-drug policies traditionally posed to developing extradition-friendly laws in Colombia and the Dominican Republic. Part II inspects the new extradition reforms in Colombia and the Dominican Republic and notes reactions to the new laws. Part III probes in closer detail the motivations responsible for the shift in extradition policy in both Colombia and the Dominican Republic. This Part argues that the form and content of the new laws, although influenced by U.S. anti-drug enforcement policies, strongly reflect domestic power struggles occurring within Colom- bia and the Dominican Republic.
