The decrees marked a reversion to authoritarian patterns of rule supposedly left behind with the passage of the 1991 Constitution.2 Despite the adoption of emergency measures, however, the government has failed to achieve its central goal: winning a decisive upper hand in the war against Colombia's approximately 7,000 guerrilla insurgents. Indeed, in a military build-up that began even as successful peace talks with the guerrillas were taking place, the Colombian government has devoted ever more resources to war since 1990. A centerpiece of army strategy has been the creation of three Mobile Brigades, elite units of professional soldiers that receive special training and operate in areas of greatest insurgent activity. Although the government claims that Mobile Brigade soldiers commit fewer human rights abuses than regular troops, information 1 Article 213, Constitución Política de Colombia (Bogotá: Presidencia de la República, 1991), p. 81. 2 As described below, several of the emergency decrees were ruled unconstitutional by Colombia's Constitutional Court, which automatically reviews the legality of rulings issued during a state of exception. Others, however, have been or are in the process of being converted into permanent legislation. President Gaviria renewed the

The analyst examined those organized crime syndicates that direct their criminal activities at the United States, namely Mexican narcotics trafficking and human smuggling networks, as well as a range of smaller organizations that specialize in trans-border crime. The presence in Mexico of transnational criminal organizations, such as Russian and Asian organized crime, was also examined. In order to assess the extent of terrorist activity in Mexico, several of the country’s domestic guerrilla groups, as well as foreign terrorist organizations believed to have a presence in Mexico, are described. The report extensively cites from Spanish-language print media sources that contain coverage of criminal and terrorist organizations and their activities in Mexico.

  • Shape of Corruption 06 01 12
    The Shape of Corruption: Colombia as a Case Study Laura Langbein, Dept. of Public Administration and Policy, American University Pablo Sanabria, School of Government, Universidad de Los Andes Prepared for Presentation at IPMN Conference: Innovations in Public Management for Controlling Corruption. 27-29 June 2012. Abstract We examine corruption within a single country that is characterized by a stable democracy and thriving legal and illegal markets—Colombia. We focus on local, small-scale corruption, examining whether city officials solicit an extra payment when citizens seek to use public services. Using individual level data on bribe requests from citizens in 55 large and small cities in Colombia, measured over time from 2004-2011, we find that, for whole sample, and within the majority of Colombian cities, that the level of corruption is stable. The evidence that corruption is stable is disturbing. Corruption exchanges are one form of cooperative behavior. If cooperative production is stable, the result is likely to lead to economic growth. If cooperative predation is stable, it makes effective political change difficult to implement effectively, and it represents costly transfers, usually from the less well off to those who are better off. Corruption is a classic example of cooperative predation. Our results suggest that it is quite stable at different levels in most Colombian cities. 1 Introduction Corruption, commonly defined as “the use of public office for private gains” (Swaleheen, 2011:23; Bardhan. 1997), is widely regarded as a vicious social problem: it is costly, robbing countries of economic growth in favor of costly transfers of money, often from the poor to the relatively more powerful gate-keepers or service providers.

  • Propaganda in Mexico's Drug War (2012)
    PROPAGANDA IN MEXICO’S DRUG WAR America Y. Guevara Master of Science in Intelligence and National Security Studies INSS 5390 December 10, 2012 1 Propaganda has an extensive history of invisibly infiltrating society through influence and manipulation in order to satisfy the originator’s intent. It has the potential long-term power to alter values, beliefs, behavior, and group norms by presenting a biased ideology and reinforcing this idea through repetition: over time discrediting all other incongruent ideologies. The originator uses this form of biased communication to influence the target audience through emotion. Propaganda is neutrally defined as a systematic form of purposeful persuasion that attempts to influence the emotions, attitudes, opinions, and actions of specified target audiences for ideological, political or commercial purposes through the controlled transmission of one-sided messages (which may or may not be factual) via mass and direct media channels.1 The most used mediums of propaganda are leaflets, television, and posters. Historical uses of propaganda have influenced political or religious schemas. The trend has recently shifted to include the use of propaganda for the benefit of criminal agendas. Mexico is the prime example of this phenomenon. Criminal drug trafficking entities have felt the need to incite societal change to suit their self-interest by using the tool of propaganda. In this study, drug cartel propaganda is defined as any deliberate Mexican drug cartel act meant to influence or manipulate the general public, rivaling drug cartels and Mexican government. Background Since December 11, 2006, Mexico has suffered an internal war, between quarreling cartels disputing territorial strongholds claiming the lives of approximately between 50,000 and 100,000 people, death estimates depending on source.2 The massive display of violence has strongly been attributed to President Felipe Calderon’s aggressive drug cartel dismantling policies and operatives.

  • The Human Rights Situation in Colombia: Amnesty International Written Statement to the Thirteenth Session of the UN Human Rights Council (1-26 March 2010)
    AI Index; AMR 23/005/2010 PUBLIC Date: 16 February 2010 The Human Rights Situation in Colombia: Amnesty International written statement to the thirteenth session of the UN Human Rights Council (1-26 March 2010) Amnesty International expresses its continued appreciation of the work of the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights in Colombia to improve respect for human rights and international humanitarian law in the country. Amnesty International also supports the renewal of the Office’s mandate when its current mandate expires at the end of October 2010. This statement presents an overview of Amnesty International’s concerns in Colombia. ARMED CONFLICT AND HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES The human rights and humanitarian situation in Colombia continues to be serious with civilians still bearing the brunt of the country’s long-running internal armed conflict. The security forces, paramilitaries and guerrilla groups continue to be responsible for serious human rights abuses and violations of international humanitarian law and to disregard the fundamental right of civilians not to be dragged into the conflict. The human rights picture in the country presents some positive and several negative features.1 Compared to 2008, in 2009 fewer civilians were extrajudicially executed by the security forces or kidnapped by guerrilla groups and criminal gangs. Forced displacement again increased – albeit at a slower rate than in 2008 – as did the killing of members of marginalized social groups and Indigenous Peoples. Threats against human rights defenders and other activists continue unabated. Many witnesses to killings and survivors of serious human rights abuses and their families are threatened and killed.
