SOUTH AMERICA-US: Unasur agrees to condition foreign military presence
Contrary to what has been suggested in much of the media coverage,
the meeting of the South American defence council on 27 November did come up
with responses to the thorniest items on its agenda. It imposed obligations on
Unasur members regarding agreements involving the presence of foreign bases or
forces, the use or threatened use of force and the harbouring or tolerance of
terrorists. It also committed itself to establishing mechanisms to verify
compliance with these commitments.
