    Extractions: U.S. Threatens Bolivia to Secure Criminal Court Immunity COCHABAMBA, Bolivia—The U.S. government is demanding that the Bolivian Congress approve an agreement that would grant immunity to U.S. troops and officials accused of human rights violations, exempting them from prosecution by the International Criminal Court. That effort, which includes a threat to withhold financial aid and access to free trade, seems to be backfiring. Bolivia is one of 139 nations that have signed the Treaty of Rome, which set up the International Criminal Court (ICC) in 1998. A respected Bolivian judge, Renee Blattmann, also sits as a member of the court. The treaty's goal, according to its Preamble, "is to establish an independent permanent International Criminal Court with jurisdiction over the most serious crimes of concern to the international community as a whole." It was in the ICC that the former Serbian leader, Slobodan Milosevic, was tried for crimes against humanity. The United States, alongside China, Iraq, Libya and others, is one of just seven nations to vote against the treaty. Many believe that the war in Iraq and cases of U.S. torture have made the United States vulnerable to criminal charges of international human rights violations. The Bush administration has been pressing its opposition to the ICC. In 2002, the U.S. Congress approved the American

Over 60% of Bolivians live below the poverty line and 30% live on less than US$ 1 per day. The majority of Bolivians are indigenous (mainly Aymara and Quechua), accounting for at least 60-70% of the population and for an even higher proportion of the rural population. The indigenous population constitutes the vast majority of the poor and extremely poor in Bolivia, and exclusion and discrimination remain widespread. Chronic social discontent permanently threatens the country’s stability with a heavy human and economic cost for the country (deaths and injuries during protests, damaged roads, adverse impact on trade and investment, and low ratings for the country’s long term debt instruments). Successive outbursts from 2000 onwards culminated in the convulsions of February and September-October 2003 which left a toll of over 100 dead and hundreds wounded and led to the ouster of ex-president

However, despite two decades of structural adjustment and 22 years of democracy, Bolivia remains the second poorest country in South America with income poverty and human development indicators on a par with countries of sub-Saharan Africa. Over 60% of the population live below the national poverty line and 30% live on less than US$ 1 per day. Well over half of Bolivia’s 8.8 million population are indigenous people, the majority of whom are excluded from the benefits of economic growth. Women do not share development benefits to the same extent as men. The management of the environment remains a major challenge for sustainable livelihoods. EU policy towards Bolivia has two main aspects: - The Rio Summit framework aimed at strengthening relations with Latin America, including Bolivia, covering political, economic, social and human domains;

Economic growth is about 2.5% a year and inflation expected to be between 3% and 4% in 2002 (it was under 1% in 2001). Since 1985, the Government of Bolivia has implemented a far-reaching program of macroeconomic stabilization and structural reform aimed at maintaining price stability, creating conditions for sustained growth, and alleviating poverty. A major reform of the customs service in recent years has significantly improved transparency in this area. The most important structural changes in the Bolivian economy have involved the capitalization of numerous public sector enterprises. (Capitalization in the Bolivian context is a form of privatization where investors acquire a 50% share and management control of public enterprises by agreeing to invest directly into the enterprise over several years rather than paying cash to the government). Parallel legislative reforms have locked into place market-oriented policies, especially in the hydrocarbon and telecommunication sectors, that have encouraged private investment. Foreign investors are accorded national treatment, and foreign ownership of companies enjoys virtually no restrictions in Bolivia. While the capitalization program was successful in vastly boosting foreign direct investment (FDI) in Bolivia ($1.7 billion in stock during 1996-2002), FDI flows have subsided in recent years as investors complete their capitalization contract obligations.

As President Gonzalo Sánchez de Lozada approaches his fourth month in office, Amnesty International today urged the new Bolivian government to make the protection of human rights defenders a priority. In a new report published today, the organisation details 13 cases of human rights defenders who have been victimised because of their legitimate human rights work. These include activists, lawyers, members of the clergy and personnel of the Ombudsperson's Office working on a range of issues including impunity for past human rights violations, land-related disputes and indigenous rights. The cases highlight a disturbing pattern of inaction on the part of the authorities, which has allowed those responsible for threats, intimidation and attacks against human rights defenders to enjoy complete impunity, and has left the victims increasingly vulnerable.

Note: Information contained in this report is the best available as of November 2004 and is subject to change. GENERAL BACKGROUND Although Bolivia meets most its domestic oil consumption needs (53,000 bbl/d) from domestic production, the country still imports petroleum products, particularly diesel. Almost all crude oil produced in Bolivia is for domestic consumption, except for small volumes that are exported to Chile through the 353-mile Sica-Arica ( Chile) pipeline. Sector Organization Despite growing domestic consumption, export markets will remain the key destination for Bolivian natural gas. The main market for Bolivian gas has been Brazil. In July 1999, Bolivia began exporting natural gas to Brazil under a 20-year, take-or-pay contract between YPFB and Petrobras. According the to gas supply agreement (GSA), export volumes were expected to increase incrementally through 2004 via the Bolivia-Brazil pipeline.

A second march followed, led by the Bolivian Workers Central, the COB. These trade unionists, water protestors, teachers, and peasant coca farmers all demanded that the government of the poorest country in South America honor the agreements it made after a series of major uprisings in 2000.

Prior to nomination, Paz Zamora allied with former president and second-place runner-up Hugo Banzer Suárez and his Nationalist Democratic Action (Acción Democrática NacionalistaADN) party, whereby Banzer's party was given vice presidency and half the cabinet positions. Paz Zamora succeeded his uncle, Víctor Paz Estenssoro, a founder of the Nationalist Revolutionary Movement (Movimiento Nacionalista Revolucionario MNR). Despite leftist reputation, Paz Zamora vowed to continue predecessor's antinarcotics efforts and successful economic reform policy.

    Extractions: Country Listing Bolivia Table of Contents In the 1980s, the growth of Bolivia's narcotics industry dominated United States-Bolivia relations. Drug enforcement programs in Bolivia were begun in the mid-1970s and gathered strength in the early part of the 1980s. Concern over military officers' growing ties to cocaine trafficking led to a tense relationship that culminated in June 1980 in the military's expulsion of the ambassador of the United States, Marvin Weisman, as a persona non grata. The "cocaine coup" of July 1980 led to a total breakdown of relations; the Carter administration refused to recognize General García Meza's government because of its clear ties to the drug trade. President Ronald Reagan continued the nonrecognition policy of his predecessor. Between July 1980 and November 1981, United States-Bolivian relations were suspended. In November 1981, Edwin Corr was named as the new ambassador, thus certifying Bolivian progress in narcotics control. Ambassador Corr played a key role in forcing the military to step down. In the subsequent democratic period, Corr helped shape the drug enforcement efforts of the weak UDP government. In 1983 President Siles Zuazo signed an agreement through which Bolivia promised to eradicate 4,000 hectares of coca over a three-year period in return for a US$14.2 million aid package. Siles Zuazo also promised to push through legislation to combat the booming drug industry. With United States funding and training, an elite antinarcotics force known as the Rural Area Police Patrol Unit (Unidad Móvil Policial para Áreas RuralesUmopar) was created (see

He has been in exile in Switzerland since November 22, 1980, when he was forced to leave his country, Bolivia. Arrested on July 18, 1980 in the university cafeteria of the University of Oruro by the Armed Forces and the police, along with 250 other students. He was first taken into detention in a military post in Vinto (Oruro), and then to the Oruro DOP, where he remained for 45 days and was later transferred to the Ministry of the Interior in La Paz. During the entire period of his detention, he was mistreated and was forced to sign false statements. The interrogations were conducted by agents of the Intelligence Service. Since he was considered to be a "dangerous element," he was to be sent to Argentina. The intervention of the church, CIME and the United Nations prevented Bolivian political prisoners from being sent to Argentina. He was taken to Viacha, where CIME officials interviewed him and facilitated his exile to Switzerland.

The traditionally strong executive, however, tends to overshadow the Congress, whose role is generally limited to debating and approving legislation initiated by the executive. Bolivia's nine departments received greater autonomy under the Administrative Decentralization law of 1995, although principal departmental officials are still appointed by the central government. Bolivian cities and towns are governed by elected mayors and councils. The most recent municipal elections took place in December 1999. The Popular Participation Law of April 1994, which distributes a significant portion of national revenues to municipalities for discretionary use, has enabled previously neglected communities to make striking improvements in their facilities and services.

The public revolt against water privatization taking place this week in the city of El Alto took a dramatic turn today – the announcement by the Bolivian government that it is canceling the private water contract, and the rejection of that offer by citizen groups. Below is an article I am syndicating to the US and other foreign press. Stay tuned to this Blog for more updates. Cochabamba, Bolivia – As the city of El Alto finished the second day of a citywide general strike, demanding ouster of the multinational corporation that controls its water, the Bolivian government announced that it has decided to cancel the company’s water contract. Neighborhood organizations, however, rejected the government’s offer Tuesday night, claiming that it included no firm date for the company’s departure and no real guarantee that the company would leave. El Alto’s public water system was privatized in 1997 after the World Bank made water privatization a condition of a loan to the Bolivian government. The private company, Aguas del Illimani, is owned by a consortium led by the French water giant, Suez, the World Bank, and others. Public protests against the company charge that it has failed to extend water and sewage service to tens of thousands of families in the city’s impoverished outskirts and that hook-up costs exceed more than half a year’s income at the Bolivian minimum wage.
