Government of Colombia

America’s War on Drugs Chaos best describes the current state of the Republic of Colombia. Rebelling terrorist groups from within the country threaten to topple Colombia’s actual government. Again and again, Colombia has shown its inability to fight the rebelling terrorists and simultaneously protect its civilians from harm. America has several reasons to intervene, with its military force if necessary, in Colombia. America must be protected against drugs and the countless crimes and social problems

countries, Colombia is one of those. Colombia is located in South America and is bordered by Panama, Venezuela, Brazil, Peru, and Ecuador. The kind of government that Colombia has is a Republic, which their president is Juan Manuel Santos, and the currency they use is a Colombian Peso. Their population is 47.15 million, and they have a life expectancy of 75.25 years. The capital of Colombia is Santa Fe de Bogota, which holds 8.743 million people of Colombia's population.

Colombia White Paper 1. Strategic Direction 1.1.

As such, we must support the

The situation between government agencies and the drug cartels in Mexico is similar to the one in Colombia 20 years ago. As I have previously said, throughout the 1990s the Cali and Medellin drug cartels dominated the world cocaine trade. Both cartels were made up of several different drug-trafficking organizations, each containing its own specific organizational structure. These cartels hid their cocaine production labs in remote, jungle regions, where Colombian insurgent groups provided them cover

controlled most of the cocaine smuggled into the United States. More than 15 tons of cocaine smuggled in each day, netting the cartel as much as $420 million a week. The cartels involved saw it as an opportunity to gain status and defeat the American government. What each person in a cartel was most afraid of was being extradited to the United States. In 1979 was a deadly shootout at the Dadeland Mall; Colombian traffickers initiated the beginning of the South Florida’s drug war in which drug dealers competed

2015, in 2013 alone 3.6 million units of counterfeit medicines were seized. They were valued at COP 2,200 million which is approximately $ 921 million. Counterfeit pharmaceuticals continue to represent up to 40% of the total pharmaceutical market in Colombia and police and customs agencies have spent billions of COP trying to resolve this problem. clearly the trade of counterfeit pharmaceuticals is rapidly increasing, but is the cause the lack of legislation or is it the enforcement.

decided to single them out. In Colombia, there is a violation and lack of respect of human rights, which is probably caused by the country’s history. For decades, there has been unrest and civil conflict between the Colombian government and rebel groups. Today, some rebel groups see the unrest and civil conflict as acceptable and have continued to wreak havoc in Colombia; many times, extreme violence is used in their attempts to debilitate the government. Though Colombia has many issues regarding human

¿IS THE FREE TRADE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE US AND COLOMBIA ACCORDING TO THE PRINCIPLES OF THE SOCIAL DOCTRINE OF THE CHURCH? In December 2007, I graduated from a public high school in Bogota, Colombia.
