The Secretary-General has the honour to circulate to the Council and Members of the League the following communication, dated January 20th, which he has received from the Government •f Peru, Sir, You have brought to the notice of my Government, and to the Members of the Council of the League of Nations, the letter sent you by the Colombian Government on January 2nd concerning the situation at LETICIA. 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.

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION In publishing the Kluger Collection, presently held in the collections of the Cracow Archeological Museum, the present author has made use of the model developed in earlier publications belonging to the series Corpus Antiquitatum Americanensium. Two catalogues of collections of Peruvian pottery that were available during the work on the Kluger Collection (S. Purin 1978, 1980; I. Schjellerup 1986) proved to be of great use. Both these publications dealt with single-culture collections (Moche and Chimú respectively), and were prefaced by a lengthy introduction regarding the history of scholarship, the chronology, and the manufacturing technology used to make the pottery of both these cultures. In the case of the present catalogue, however, such an approach would not seem to serve any purpose, in view of the heterogeneity of the materials that make up the collection, as well as the present author's frequent doubts concerning the cultural attribution of a significant number of these vessels. The limited time available to prepare this publication has prevented more intensive study on each of the cultures represented. In many cases, these cultures have in any event been studied only to a limited extent to date, and the literature is not easily accessible. The Kluger Collection is the largest collection in Poland of artifacts from the Pre-Columbian cultures of ancient Peru; nevertheless, the pottery material included in the Collection may appear to be rather modest, in comparison to other world collections, or European collections, for that matter, which often number hundreds or even thousands of vessels. Created over 120 years ago, often kept under poor conditions, inexpertly maintained for many years, the Collection has suffered many quantitative and qualitative losses.

  • OSAC Encourages Travelers to Use This Report to Gain Baseline Knowledge of Security Conditions in Peru
    Peru 2020 Crime & Safety Report This is an annual report produced in conjunction with the Regional Security Office at the U.S. Embassy in Lima. OSAC encourages travelers to use this report to gain baseline knowledge of security conditions in Peru. For more in-depth information, review OSAC’s country-specific page for original OSAC reporting, consular messages, and contact information, some of which may be available only to private-sector representatives with an OSAC password. Travel Advisory The current U.S. Department of State Travel Advisory at the date of this report’s publication assesses Peru at Level 2, indicating travelers should exercise increased caution. Do not travel to the Colombian border area in the Loreto Region due to crime, or the area in central Peru known as the Valley of the Rivers Apurimac, Ene, and Mantaro (VRAEM) due to crime and terrorism. Overall Crime and Safety Situation Crime Threats The U.S. Department of State has assessed Lima as being a CRITICAL-threat location for crime directed at or affecting official U.S. government interests. According to the Peruvian National Police (PNP), crime increased 13% in 2019. Foreign residents and visitors may be more vulnerable to crime, as criminals perceive them to be wealthier and more likely to carry large amounts of cash and other valuables on their person. However, this uptick in crime has affected Peruvians and foreigners alike. The most common types of crime in Lima and many parts of the country include armed robbery, assault, burglary, and petty theft. Crimes can turn violent quickly, and often escalate when a victim attempts to resist.

Even that footnote traced the European conquest of indigenous cultures rather than the Amerindian accomplishments during the many millennia before the European invasions. Students learned that Cortez conquered Mexico in 1519 and defeated Montezuma, the last Aztec king (whose name was actually Motecuhzoma the Second). Montezuma was the only indigenous person who was consistently referenced in the history books. Of course, there was mention of great hordes of gold, sought after by the Europeans (Spain was nearly bankrupt at the time) and readily available in the Americas where it was valued more when worked into art than as a standard of value itself. The usual tale is that a few hundred Spaniards defeated millions of “Indians.” This myth of a quick overthrow of superstitious “natives” is quite misleading, distorting the complexity of the encounters of these radically opposing worldviews.
