COLOMBIA-REGION: Preparing for Unasur's debate over 'US bases'
The issue of the agreement whereby Colombia grants the US access to
at least three, and possibly as many as seven air, army and naval bases, which
was ducked by the Union of South American Nations (Unasur) at a regular summit
in Quito [WR-09-32], is to be the object of a two-step treatment by the
subregional organisation. On 24 August it will be discussed at meetings of
Unasur's foreign ministers and the CDS (the South American defence council)
scheduled to take place in Quito. Four days later it will be considered by an
extraordinary Unasur summit in Bariloche, Argentina.
