OAS COMMISSION TRAVELS TO LOCATION OF INCIDENT AT ECUADOR-COLOMBIA BORDER
March 10, 2008
The Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), José Miguel Insulza, traveled today with the ad hoc Commission from the hemispheric body to Angostura, Colombian-Ecuadorian zone where the events took place that kept both nations involved in a political crisis, which was resolved with great political will and the support of diplomatic steps taken by the regional Organization.
Accompanied by the ministers of Defense, Wellington Sandoval, of Government Fernando Bustamante, of Security Gustavo Larrea, and the minister in charge of External Relations, the ambassadors that make up the Commission headed by Insulza, traveled to the location to verify onsite the details of how the March 1 events occurred in Ecuadorian territory.
With support form military experts from Ecuador’s Armed Forces, the diplomats accredited to the OAS, of Argentina Rodolfo Gil, Brazil Osmar Chohfi, Peru Maria Zavala and Panama Aristides Royo, the Chair of the Permanent Council Cornelius Smith of Bahamas, and José Miguel Insulza, flew by helicopter from Lago Agrio to Angostura, landing on an improvised heliport a few meters from the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) camp that was attacked by Colombian planes.
In the middle of the jungle, after several days of heavy rain, the OAS group visited what remains of the guerrilla camp and collected information which will be used to draft its own version of the incidents. The spot, with personal belongings and scattered clothing still remaining, was inspected by the diplomats who stayed several hours investigating technical data that will help clarify and put the events into context, as well as to study them against the backdrop of international law.
Insulza reiterated, at the end of the visit, that the OAS Commission is charged with defining with clarity how the incidents occurred and ratifying the validity of international law which establishes the respect of territorial sovereignty of the States.
