Imports and exports have more than doubled between 2003 and 2010, and improvements in citizen security have made a partnership more feasible.

  • CBTU Afro-Colombian Accompaniment Mission to Colombia
    CBTU Afro-Colombian Accompaniment Mission to Colombia “If America was in most ways a more strictly modern or bourgeois country than any in Europe, its plantations, at home or overseas, represented a type of enterprise only separated by a few years from ages of slavery. To these must be added the big sugar refineries. Taken together they represented a more primitive capitalism than the new manufacturing industries; they could be called a prolongation of the old Southern drive for more land and cheap labour.” -- V.G. Kiernan From October 1-6, 2015 the Coalition of Black Trade Unionist (CBTU) organized a delegation to Colombia in order to find out the state of affairs with regards to Afro-Colombian communities’ labor, civil, political and human rights. The CBTU decided to visit Colombia at 1 the request of the Afro-Colombian Peace Council (CONPA)i. A CONPA delegation participated in the CBTU annual conference in May 2015 in Chicago, Illinois. The Colombia trip was led by Representative Hank Johnson (Democrat for Georgia’s 4th District since 2007), a longtime advocate for Afro-Colombian communities’ human and labor rights and a member of the U.S. Congressional Monitoring Group on Labor Rights. U.S. trade unionists and activistsii joined Mr. Johnson. The CONPA organized the agenda that included visits to Cali, Quibdó and Bogota with the support of the Washington Office on Latin America (WOLA). Findings Our delegation was met with a very warm reception by the Afro-Colombian Groups that form part of the CONPA including the CLAF, AFRODES and PCN in Cali.

  • Afro-Latinos in Latin America and Considerations for U.S. Policy
    Order Code RL32713 Afro-Latinos in Latin America and Considerations for U.S. Policy Updated November 21, 2008 Clare Ribando Seelke Analyst in Latin American Affairs Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Afro-Latinos in Latin America and Considerations for U.S. Policy Summary The 110th Congress has maintained an interest in the situation of Afro-Latinos in Latin America, particularly the plight of Afro-Colombians affected by the armed conflict in Colombia. In recent years, people of African descent in the Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking nations of Latin America — also known as “Afro-Latinos” — have been pushing for increased rights and representation. Afro-Latinos comprise some 150 million of the region’s 540 million total population, and, along with women and indigenous populations, are among the poorest, most marginalized groups in the region. Afro-Latinos have formed groups that, with the help of international organizations, are seeking political representation, human rights protection, land rights, and greater social and economic opportunities. Improvement in the status of Afro-Latinos could be difficult and contentious, however, depending on the circumstances of the Afro-descendant populations in each country. Assisting Afro-Latinos has never been a primary U.S. foreign policy objective, although a number of U.S. aid programs benefit Afro-Latinos. While some foreign aid is specifically targeted towards Afro-Latinos, most is distributed broadly through programs aimed at helping all marginalized populations. Some Members support increasing U.S. assistance to Afro-Latinos, while others resist, particularly given the limited amount of development assistance available for Latin America. In the 110th Congress, there have been several bills with provisions related to Afro-Latinos.

  • 'Territory Is Everything': Afro- Colombian Communities
    ‘TERRITORY IS EVERYTHING’: AFRO- COLOMBIAN COMMUNITIES, HUMAN RIGHTS AND ILLEGAL LAND GRABS Rebecca Bratspies* ABSTRACT In Colombia, the struggle over land rights often pits the cultural and economic interests of indigenous and marginalized peoples against the governments that are supposed to protect their rights under law. Rural Afro-Colombian women seeking to vindicate their land rights find themselves at the mercy of multiple vectors of discrimination: they are black; they are women; and they are rural farmers. Their land rights are under threat—from land occupations from below and State Development plans from above. An unholy mix of gender and racial discrimination compounds their struggle. Nevertheless, Afro- Colombian women are at the vanguard of land rights advocacy in Colombia. This article documents their struggle for vindication. Part I begins by situating Colombia in the broader, global movement for land rights, and then describes Colombia’s Afro-descendant population, their landholdings and the main threats to their land rights. Part II outlines the primary legal and political sources of land * Professor, CUNY School of Law, Director, Center for Urban Environmental Reform. I have been able to write this article thanks to the time that I spent in Colombia learning from Afro-Colombian advocates from Proceso de Comunidades Negras (“PCN”), an Afro-descendant collective of more than 100 grassroots organizations, Community Councils, and individuals formed in Colombia in 1993. In February 2019, members of PCN and CUNY’s Human Rights and Gender Justice Clinic held joint workshops in Cali and Cauca, Colombia. The comments shared in this report are from that workshop and are unattributed at the request of the participants.
