Kundig. — 5 — [Translation.] INTRODUCTION. Since June 1932, the Bolivian and Paraguayan armies have been fighting in the Chaco. Neither of the parties brought the dispute before the League of Nations under the Covenant, and for a long time efforts were made to settle it by negotiations conducted by American States. In view of those negotiations, the Council of the League thought it desirable, in order to avoid a duplication of jurisdictions, to confine its action in the first place to supporting the efforts that were being made in America to secure peace. It continued, however, to follow the question closely. A Committee of three of its Members (Irish Free State, Spain and Guatemala 1) was specially appointed to keep it informed of the development of the situation. On March 6th, 1933, the three States represented on that Committee, feeling that the situation was steadily growing worse, laid the matter before the Council in virtue of Article n of the Covenant. After information had been furnished by the representatives of the parties, the Council’s intervention under Article n was deferred to enable the action of the adjacent Powers to be pursued on the basis of the Agreement signed at Mendoza on February 2nd by the Ministers for Foreign Affairs of the Argentine and Chile. On May 10th, the President of the Republic of Paraguay proclaimed that republic to be in a state of war with Bolivia. The latter protested to the Council, urging that Paraguay was placing herself outside the Covenant and incurring the penalties provided under Article 16. On May 20th, the Committee of the Council submitted a report stating that in this conflict the Council’s first duty was to endeavour to bring about the cessation of hostilities and a settlement of the dispute. The Council did not consider that it should or need enter into considerations of a different order. It trusted that it might never be compelled to do so, since it was convinced that, if the parties really desired peace and good relations, they would accept the procedure it recommended to them and, pending the operation of this procedure, would discontinue hostilities, which had already been going on too long. Terms of Reference of the Commission despatched to the Scene of Hostilities. The procedure recommended by the Council, and the terms of reference of the Commission to be despatched to the scene of hostilities in order to set that procedure effectively in motion, are defined in paragraphs 9 and 10 of the report of May 20th. These paragraphs read as follows : “ 9. In conformity with the Covenant, the two countries are under obligation to settle their dispute by pacific means. In order to carry out this obligation, the Council recommends the following procedure : The two Governments would entrust the final settlement of the dispute to an impartial authority, deriving its powers from a treaty binding on both States—namely, the Covenant of the League of Nations. Such an authority, after a thorough study of the question, would fix the frontier between the two countries. Such a procedure connotes : (i) the cessation of hostilities and the withdrawal by Paraguay of the declaration of a state of war with Bolivia; (2) the establishment of an agreement for submission of the dispute to arbitration. “ 10. In order effectively to establish the procedure for settlement indicated in the preceding paragraph, the Council considers it essential to send to the spot a Commission whose task would be: “ (1) To negotiate, if desirable, any arrangement calculated to promote the execution of the obligation to cease hostilities ; " (2) To prepare, in consultation with the two Governments concerned, an agreement for arbitration. If the agreement for arbitration does not indicate the arbitrators or the procedure for their appointment, the Council will provide for such appointment and will, if necessary, settle the arbitral procedure; “ (3) The Commission will be at the Council’s disposal and w'ill keep it informed of the course of its activities. The Commission, at the Council’s request, will proceed to make an enquiry on all the circumstances of the dispute, including the part which the two parties have taken therein, and will report to the Council to enable the latter to fulfil the duties imposed upon it by the Covenant of the League of Nations.” 1 Guatemala and the Irish Free State subsequently ceased to be Members of the Council. They were replaced on the Committee of the Council by Mexico and Czechoslovakia. — 6 — At the meeting on May 20th, all the Members of the Council, except the representatives of the parties, spoke in favour of the report, which was also accepted by the representative of Paraguay. The representative of Bolivia reserved his Government’s decision for the time being. The negotiations conducted by the Committee of the Council with the representatives of the parties, after May 20th, showed that

What made people of African descent support the republican cause? Was their contribution to the independence decisive? Did Afro-descendant women play a key role during that process? Why were the most important Afro-descendant military leaders executed by the Creole forces? What was the fate of those soldiers and their descendants at the end of the war? This paper intends to answer these controversial questions, while explaining the main characteristics of Recibido: 3 de septiembre 2007 Aceptado: 8 de octubre 2007 society throughout the five countries freed by the Bolivarian armies in the 1810s and 1820s.

  • Country of Women? Repercussions of the Triple Alliance War in Paraguay∗
    Country of Women? Repercussions of the Triple Alliance War in Paraguay∗ Jennifer Alix-Garcia Laura Schechter Felipe Valencia Caicedo Oregon State University UW Madison University of British Columbia S. Jessica Zhu Precision Agriculture for Development April 5, 2021 Abstract Skewed sex ratios often result from episodes of conflict, disease, and migration. Their persistent impacts over a century later, and especially in less-developed regions, remain less understood. The War of the Triple Alliance (1864{1870) in South America killed up to 70% of the Paraguayan male population. According to Paraguayan national lore, the skewed sex ratios resulting from the conflict are the cause of present-day low marriage rates and high rates of out-of-wedlock births. We collate historical and modern data to test this conventional wisdom in the short, medium, and long run. We examine both cross-border and within-country variation in child-rearing, education, labor force participation, and gender norms in Paraguay over a 150 year period. We find that more skewed post-war sex ratios are associated with higher out-of-wedlock births, more female-headed households, better female educational outcomes, higher female labor force participation, and more gender-equal gender norms. The impacts of the war persist into the present, and are seemingly unaffected by variation in economic openness or ties to indigenous culture. Keywords: Conflict, Gender, Illegitimacy, Female Labor Force Participation, Education, History, Persistence, Paraguay, Latin America JEL Classification: D74, I25, J16, J21, N16 ∗First draft May 20, 2020.

  • Paraguay: in Brief
    Paraguay: In Brief June S. Beittel Analyst in Latin American Affairs August 31, 2017 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R44936 Paraguay: In Brief Summary Paraguay is a South American country wedged between Bolivia, Argentina, and Brazil. It is about the size of California but has a population of less than 7 million. The country is known for its rather homogenous culture—a mix of Latin and Guarani influences, with 90% of the population speaking Guarani, a pre-Columbian language, in addition to Spanish. The Paraguayan economy is one of the most agriculturally dependent in the hemisphere and is largely shaped by the country’s production of cattle, soybeans, and other crops. In 2016, Paraguay grew by 4.1%; it is projected to sustain about 4.3% growth in 2017. Since his election in 2013, President Horacio Cartes of the long-dominant Colorado Party (also known as the Asociación Nacional Republicana [ANC]), has moved the country toward a more open economy, deepening private investment and increasing public-private partnerships to promote growth. Despite steady growth, Paraguay has a high degree of inequality and, although poverty levels have declined, rural poverty is severe and widespread. Following Paraguay’s 35-year military dictatorship in the 20th century (1954-1989), many citizens remain cautious about the nation’s democracy and fearful of a return of patronage and corruption. In March 2016, a legislative initiative to allow a referendum to reelect President Cartes (reelection is forbidden by the 1992 constitution) sparked large protests. Paraguayans rioted, and the parliament building in the capital city of Asunción was partially burned.

Five species have previously been reported in Paraguay and a discussion of all verifiable reports is provided. Knipolegus striaticeps is considered resident and a presumed breeder, but no nest has yet been reported. Knipolegus hudsoni is consid- ered a passage migrant in September and October. Knipolegus cyanirostris is considered a winter visitor. Knipolegus aterrimus is known from few records in the Chaco region, and is possibly a rare altitudinal migrant. The status of Knipolegus lophotes requires further inves- tigation, with Paraguay representing the western extreme of its known range. The first report of Knipolegus poecilurus for the country is documented with photographs. This high-Andean species is considered to be a vagrant pending further information.
