Officials delayed signing the accord until Friday, and then postponed it indefinitely. Initially slated for March 2011, ratification of the agreement has been repeatedly delayed.   Furthermore, the agreement has been converted from a trilateral accord to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The U.S. government historically exercised significant political influence through conditioned funding for Bolivia. However, the U.S. budget for Bolivia should shrink substantially in 2012, further limiting an already diminished presence. Reductions in funding and diplomatic involvement could help lay the foundation for an innovative bilateral relationship.
Congress is currently reviewing the Obama administration’s FY 2011 State [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Andres Schipani’s article, “Jessica Anne Jordan Burton: beauty queen defies cartel beasts in Bolivia’s war on cocaine,” presents an inaccurate, hyperbolic, and sexist account, which projects narrow-minded generalizations and grossly distorts the current reality of Bolivian drug policy.  Unfortunately, this erroneous portrayal has been widely reprinted and quoted in the English-speaking press.

		<description><![CDATA[It’s not the first time a respected, established journalist has presented a selective view of events in Bolivia.  In general, Lawrence Wright’s New Yorker article “Lithium Dreams” covers a great deal of territory, but lacks objectivity and thorough research in some areas.
Some errors are simple and avoidable, such as misspelling Pablo Solón, Bolivian ambassador to [...]]]></description>

Once again the determination presents inaccurate, poorly prepared information, further complicated by confusing language.

The Justice Center, originally founded in 1995, and later strengthened with European Union and German funding, worked to gain the trust of coca growers and effectively documented human rights violations.
