ALL RIGHTS RESERVED OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES. 5 Doing Business in Colombia Market Overview The Republic of Colombia is the fourth largest economy in Latin America, after Brazil, Mexico, and Argentina, and has the third largest population with approximately 49 million inhabitants. Aided by major security improvements and steady economic growth in recent years, Colombia has increased its commercial and investment ties to the United States, Europe, Asia and the rest of Latin America. Since the implementation of the U.S.-Colombia Trade Promotion Agreement (TPA) in May 2012, U.S. exports to Colombia initially increased substantially but have decreased over the last two years due to a combination of factors, with the main contributor being a depreciation of the Colombian currency that resulted from lower global oil prices (the county’s principal export), a drought, and a national strike by transportation workers. Nonetheless, certain U.S. exports to Colombia continue to see strong growth, especially agricultural products like pork, chicken, seafood, soy products, dairy, and beans. Colombia’s ranking as an export market for U.S. agricultural products jumped from 24th place in 2011 to 12th place in 2016. Agriculture exports to Colombia from the United States were valued at USD 2.38 billion in 2016, more than double their 2011 value. Cereals, especially corn, saw the greatest gain in real terms. Other U.S. exports to Colombia that have enjoyed significant growth since the implementation of the TPA include aircraft and aircraft parts, which benefited from the elimination of a five percent tariff. These exports surged to an average of nearly USD 700 million per year over the period 2012-2016, up from USD 334 million in 2011. Exports of pharmaceutical products, which amounted to USD 200 million in 2011, have averaged USD 270 million per year under the TPA. Political stability, a growing middle class, the signing of the peace accord between the government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) guerrillas, and a vastly improved safety and security environment have supported an optimistic outlook and moderate economic growth in recent years in Colombia. The drop in commodity prices, adverse weather conditions, and labor strikes slowed economic output in 2016. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth slowed to two percent in 2016 and foreign direct investment is estimated to have decreased slightly to USD 11.6 billion. Over half of Colombia’s global exports are petroleum products and lower oil prices are expected to continue taking a toll on the country’s economy in 2017, with annual GDP growth projected at 1.8 percent and foreign direct investment expected to slow to USD 9.8 billion.

Conclusion Appendix: Examples of arms imports from 1998-2002 by actors involved in intra- state conflicts from 2001-2002 2 I. Introduction Many factors determine both the start and the resolution of wars. Although opinions differ on exactly how, the availability of arms is generally considered a significant factor that influences the development of violent conflicts. The proliferation of arms is therefore a major issue in the debate on conflict prevention and resolution. In some cases, arms are produced by the actors involved in conflicts, but in many cases such actors are dependent on foreign suppliers for many or all of their arms acquisitions. The way in which arms proliferate through international transfers and the consequences of such transfers are thus important research and policy issues. Recently, one particular category of weapons —small arms and light weapons— has received growing attention from researchers and policy makers because the presence of these weapons is perceived as an especially important factor for the outbreak, continuation and intensification of most current violent conflicts.

  • Challenges for the Armed Forces of Latin America in Responding to the COVID-19 Pandemic R
    Challenges for the Armed Forces of Latin America in Responding to the COVID-19 Pandemic R. EVAN ELLIS, PHD* ollowing its origins in Wuhan, China, the COVID-19 virus initially spread far more rapidly across Europe and the US, than in Latin America and the Caribbean, creating the illusion that its impact in the latter might be less severe. When the World Health Organization declared on March 11 that F 1 COVID-19 had reached the level of a global pandemic, the number of cases in Latin America were still relatively limited. Latin American and Caribbean gov- ernments, viewing the lethal and explosive dynamics of the virus in Europe and the US had valuable time to prepare, yet also faced critical vulnerabilities vis- à- vis the higher- income Western countries. Large informal sectors, fragile small and medium enterprises, and governments with limited resources made social distanc- ing difficult to effectively sustain over time. Economic structures such as public markets, social traditions emphasizing relatively greater interpersonal contact and interaction, and ingrained distrust of government made such measures difficult for authorities to enforce.2 Weak public health systems,3 especially outside major cities, poor coordination with private sector health systems, and ingrained corrup- tion and inefficiency in government bureaucracy all undermined the ability of healthcare systems in the region to respond effectively and adapt to the challenge.4 By May 2020, even as COVID-19 persisted with recurrent outbreaks in the US5 and China,6 the World Health Organization had declared Latin America a new epicenter for the virus,7 with the level of infections taking off across the re- gion.8 The response of the region’s political leaders was uneven, with leaders such as those in Peru, Colombia,9 and El Salvador moving quickly to take strong mea- sures, while others, such as the Presidents of Mexico,10 Brazil11 and Nicaragua,12 responding less aggressively, and in some cases, initially discounting the danger or delaying economically consequential responses to contain it.

L’audience est ouverte. La Cour siège aujourd’hui pour entendre les exposés oraux des Parties en l’affaire du Différend territorial et maritime (Nicaragua c. Colombie). Je relève que, la Cour ne comptant sur son siège aucun juge de la nationalité des Parties, chacune de celles-ci a usé de la faculté qui lui est conférée par le paragraphe 2 de l’article 31 du Statut de désigner un juge ad hoc. Le Nicaragua a d’abord désigné M. Mohammed Bedjaoui, qui a démissionné le 2 mai 2006, puis M. Giorgio Gaja. Celui-ci ayant été élu membre de la Cour, le Nicaragua a désigné M. Thomas Mensah. Compte tenu de cette décision, le juge Gaja a estimé qu’il convenait pour lui de ne pas prendre part à la suite de la procédure relative à l’affaire, et m’en a informé. La Colombie a d’abord désigné M. Yves Fortier, qui a démissionné le 7 septembre 2010, puis M. Jean-Pierre Cot. L’article 20 du Statut dispose que «[t]out membre de la Cour doit, avant d’entrer en fonction, en séance publique, prendre l’engagement solennel d’exercer ses attributions en pleine impartialité et en toute conscience». En vertu du paragraphe 6 de l’article 31 du Statut, cette disposition s’applique également aux juges ad hoc. M. Cot, qui a participé aux procédures relatives aux requêtes à fin d’intervention déposées en l’affaire respectivement par le Costa Rica et le Honduras, et qui a fait sa déclaration solennelle à l’occasion de l’audience tenue le 11 octobre 2010 sur la requête à fin d’intervention soumise par le Costa Rica, n’est pas tenu de prêter de nouveau serment en la présente procédure.

European Union member states’ public defence budgets, after all, have been declining for years. Export is seen to be a goal of a significant part of the European small arms and light weapons (SALG) production;1 38% of known small arms-producing countries are European, where 42% of the world’s known small arms producing companies are located.2 At the turn of the millennium, Europe exported about 60% of its small arms production to other regions of the world, making it the largest documented exporter of small arms to North America, South America and the Middle East.3 These exports are easily explained, as small arms are designed for policing, for military use and for civilian markets. The European civilian market is smaller than that of the United States, and than seems to be the case in many other countries, where (mostly unlicensed) possession and use of small arms wreak havoc in far more than conflict zones, as the main instrument of homicidal common crime.
