Plan Colombia: Major Successes and New Challenges
To enhance the rule of law, our projects have assisted the Government of Colombia in establishing 38 Justice Houses (Casas de Justicia in Spanish), which provide access to justice for poor Colombians. Make no mistake: this is not a small victory or goal--it is at the very heart, in our view, of sustainable progress and U.S. support for defeating narcoterrorists and advancing democracy. So far, these Casas de Justicia have handled almost three million cases, easing the burden on the over-taxed judicial system. ... [Read More]

U.S. Assistance to Colombia and the Andean Region
Mr. Chairman, members of the sub-committee, I greatly appreciate the support that Congress has given in the past to the President’s policy toward Colombia, including the recent passage of FY-02 funding for programs in the Andean region. I appreciate as well the House’s passage of the Andean Trade Preference Act (ATPA), and look forward to a positive response from the Senate to the President’s call that it pass the ATPA by the 22nd of this month. Protecting our national interests in Colombia will require a sustained commitment on our part. I am here today as part of my commitment to work together with you to build the necessary programs and elicit the necessary counterpart commitment from the government and people of Colombia and the rest of the Andean region. Thank you. ... [Read More]
