	BBC News \| AMERICAS \| Profile: Andres Pastrana
		Andres Pastrana - son of former President Misael Pastrana - began his political career in the capital Bogota's city council, to which he was elected twice in the 1980s.
		Andres Pastrana won the elections, and true to his promise, 18 days later the president elect was meeting FARC leader Manuel Marulanda in the jungle.
		Mauricio Vargas says Mr Pastrana was optimistic that his government could negotiate with the rebels, and the government soon acceded to rebel demands for a 42,000 square kilometre safe haven.

	Online NewsHour: Colombia's Civil War: Pastrana
		One of Pastrana's first moves was to create a semi-autonomous demilitarized zone for the FARC roughly the size of Switzerland as an incentive to jump start peace talks.
		Andrés Pastrana grew up in Bogota among Colombian wealthy elites, or "notables", as the son of former president and Conservative Party leader Misael Pastrana Borrero (1970-1974).
		Pastrana, who was constitutionally barred from running for a second term, handed over the presidency to Alvaro Uribe on August 7th.

	ASNE - Luncheon address by President Andres Pastrana
		President Pastrana, born in the heart of a family devoted to politics, embodies quite well what we are as a nation, both in its richness and in its violent past.
		The challenges President Pastrana faces are not few, especially in a country besieged by powerful enemies such as guerrillas and hundreds of small drug cartels that keep narcotics flowing into the unquenchable markets of the United States and Europe.
		Pastrana: We are not in favor of that.

	Helping Colombia Fix Its Plan to Curb Drug Trafficking, Violence, and Insurgency
		Pastrana neither set preconditions nor established an agenda for the peace talks, perhaps hoping the guerrillas would agree to a cease-fire and eventually bargain for permanent peace.
		Pastrana concedes that Colombian self-defense groups are the common enemy of both the guerrillas and the government and agrees to allow foreign diplomats to observe the dialogue.
		The Pastrana administration should be encouraged to convert plans for a proposed despeje for the ELN in southern Bolívar and Antioquía departments into a plan to provide a similar location for demobilization and reintegration.

		Amnesty International is calling on President Andrés Pastrana Arango to use the opportunity of Colombia's national human rights day on 9 September to announce an immediate and decisive program of action to tackle the country's escalating human rights crisis.

		The ELN survived and managed to sustain itself through the extortion of private and foreign oil companies, including several of German origin, large-scale kidnapping and, to a lesser degree, with indirect profits from the drug trade.
		The ELN did not participate in the peace process that the administration of Andrés Pastrana Arango attempted during 1998 to 2002 with the FARC, though it did engage in exploratory talks, kept contacts and discussed the possibility of eventually joining a peace initiative.
		Those contacts continued during the early days of the Álvaro Uribe Vélez government but eventually were severed, neither party being fully trusting of the other.
