		According to Arauca Mayor Jorge Apolinar Cedeño, homicides in the municipality have dropped from 147 between January and June 2002 to 66 during the same time period in 2003.
		In an interview the Governor of Arauca, Óscar Garrid Muñoz, asserted that being part of the rehabilitation zone "has lead to a marked decrease in the number of terrorist acts: last year there were 127 attacks on the pipeline, and this year there have only been 5 or 6."
		Arauca was left without electricity after two electrical towers were bombed by the FARC.

	Colombia: Laboratory of war - Repression and violence in Arauca.
		Arauca is one of the most militarized departments in the country, and became more so following the creation of the RCZ in the three northern municipalities of Arauca in September 2002.
		During their visit to Arauca in March 2003, Amnesty International delegates received information indicating that 39 peasant farmers were recruited into such units in the municipality of Saravena reportedly as part of ordinary compulsory military service and not on a voluntary basis.
		As paramilitaries consolidated their presence in the municipality of Arauca they were able to carry out massacres and selective killings despite the heavy-militarization of the region and the fact that the armed forces had been informed of their presence.

	Arauca & Militarism : Costs of Doing Business : AFSC
		U.S. military presence in Arauca began in 2002 with the supplemental aid Bush requested that provided the $6 million "start up" funding for the new mobile brigade designed to protect the Caño Limon-Coveñas pipeline, as well as additional training to the 18th Colombian army brigade.
		In 2002 and 2003, U.S. military aid to protect the pipeline is in the form of equipment, weaponry, and helicopters for the 18th and new mobile brigades.
		This is true in the case of Arauca and for most of Sucre, where the Caño Limon - Coveñas pipeline directly crosses the municipalities that are zones of rehabilitation.

	Colombia: Laboratory of war -- violence soars in Arauca
		The crisis in Arauca, which lies along Colombia's northern border with Venezuela, has been fuelled by the government's two-year military and security offensive in the area, supported by paramilitaries and powerful international, mainly US, military and economic interests.
		Guerrilla groups, which have a longstanding presence in Arauca, have responded by repeatedly and increasingly breaching international humanitarian law in an attempt to repel the military and paramilitary advance.
		Paramilitaries, who established a firm foothold in Arauca in the wake of large-scale operations carried out by the Colombian security forces in the area in recent years, continue to kill and threaten civilians despite a year-long self-declared ceasefire.

		In early 1996, the Arauca parties and FOC agreed to an amendment to the FOC Settlement Agreement concerning the financial structure of the settlement.
		The Arauca and Schuyler parties filed a petition in the appellate court for review and vacatur of the circuit court's temporary restraining order, which the appellate court denied.
		We agree with the circuit court's determination that "[w]hile SRZ originally may have represented Sneddon only in his capacity as an agent of Arauca, the evidence is clear that the representation expanded to include Hasco, and therefore its `alter ego' Sneddon, as a subordinated lender" and, further, that SRZ represented Sneddon in an individual capacity.

		He is the head of the Colombian armed forces in the department of Arauca.

		If we wanted to travel to Santo Domingo, where the army bombed a civilian population, or to Flor Amarillo, where paramilitary members of the AUC recently massacred 5 civilians and left their bodies in the towns elementary school, we would need to pass through the army checkpoints with little harrassement.

		Arauca province, in north-eastern Colombia, has more than a few similarities to parts of the U.S. Endless plains interrupted by clumps of low trees; cattle herds alternating with farm crops; small towns connected by miles of empty roads.
		I saw Arauca's landscapes up close this July, accompanying the Bogota-based human rights group "Minga" as part of a commission of human rights NGOs.
		We were surprised to see that the airport code for "Arauca," scrawled across our luggage tags, happens to be "AUC"- the same initials of Colombia's biggest paramilitary group.

		Arauca residents are also concerned about the likely start of fumigations later in 2003.
		Three municipalities of Arauca reportedly have coca cultivation, but the concentrations are small and found within fields of other crops, which will then also be destroyed if fumigation begins.

	Footnotes to History- A
		Arauca- The city of Arauca is in the center of the Colombian region known as the Llanos, an underdeveloped frontier closer to Venezuela than to the Colombian capital.
		The region's remoteness bred lawlessness for much of its history, and Arauca served as one of the best examples of this in 1916.
		In brief fighting on the morning of December 30, Gómez and his thirty-seven followers seized control of the city and declared it the Republic of Arauca.

	Araucan Nightmare: Life and Death in Tame
		The turmoil that rural communities in Tame and elsewhere in Arauca experience is exemplified by an incident at the indigenous reserve of Betoyes, composed of a number of small hamlets near Tame.
		Tame is considered the gateway to Arauca from the interior of the country, which has lent an element of speculation to the territorial warfare.
		Recent years have seen an explosion in coca cultivation in the Arauca department, with the FARC considered to be the chief force behind the surge.

		The clients, Arauca Trading Limited Partnership (ATLP), Arauca General, Inc. (AGI), Stephen G. Macklem and Dr. Henry Gosiene (collectively the Arauca parties), initially were parties to the appeal but voluntarily withdrew on July 11, 1997.[fn1] Appellees, Hasco, Inc., and Harold A.
		Also on November 1, Hasco/Sneddon filed a verified complaint for declaratory judgment and preliminary and permanent injunctive relief seeking to disqualify SRZ from representing the Arauca parties in the NASD arbitration and enjoining the Arauca parties from proceeding in the NASD arbitration as long as SRZ remained their counsel.
		As an aside, we disagree with Hasco/Sneddon's contention that the appeal is rendered moot because of the Arauca parties' voluntary withdrawal from the appeal and their indication through affidavits in later court proceedings that they would not rehire SRZ to represent them in the event of a reversal of the circuit court's disqualification order.

		In Arauca, the ZRC covered the municipalities of Arauca and Arauquita (which the Cano-Limon field straddles) and Saravena (which the pipeline crosses).
		In 2001, Arauca's popular governor Hector Federico Gal lardo, elected on the ticket of the local grassroots Communal and Communitarian Movement, was removed from office by the national Council of State after only six months in power--on the technicality that he had briefly served as interim governor six month s earlier (a constitutional violation).
		Even on the Arauca plains, where oil is already big business, indigenous peoples are struggling to halt expansion of the infrastructure--especially a new highway linking Arauca town and the Cano-Limon fields to the main Saravena-Bogota road.

	U.S. Support for War of Terror in Arauca
		This troop involvement is in addition to the more than $3.5 billion the United States has already spent on the Colombian military since 2000, making Colombia the third-largest recipient of U.S. military aid in the world.
		I just returned from Saravena, Colombia, a small town located in the important oil region of the Arauca Department and a town in which a large proportion of the U.S. troops in Colombia are based.
		Indeed, as Amnesty International has reported, the violent conflict in Arauca is motivated and fueled by oil interests and the attempt of the Colombian military, with the support of the United States, to protect these interests.

		Over the course of this year, Arauca province is scheduled to become the center of gravity for a $470 million-a-year U.S. effort to help President Alvaro Uribe cripple the enduring leftist insurgency by strengthening Colombia's military.
		The 70 U.S. trainers in Arauca -- more than half here, the rest on nearby bases in Cano Limon and Arauca city to the east -- are a useful propaganda symbol for the guerrillas, who have long warned of U.S. economic designs on Colombia's natural wealth.
		Uribe last week ordered that Arauca's oil royalties, amounting to roughly $42 million a year, must be managed by his administration rather than by the provincial government, a move designed to choke off the ELN's financing.

		Information received by Amnesty International during a September 2002 visit to Arauca indicated that a large number of paramilitaries entered the community of El Rosario and surrounding areas in Arauca Municipality on 21 June 2002, despite the close proximity of the army’s XVIII Brigade, and were able to operate unhindered until 14 August 2002.
		Despite the fact that the area is heavily militarised and the whereabouts of the paramilitaries known by the authorities, no action to confront the paramilitaries appears to have been taken.
		During Amnesty International’s visit to Arauca in March 2003, delegates received information indicating that the families of 39 peasant soldiers who have been recruited into such units in the municipality of Saravena, reportedly as part of ordinary compulsory military service, have received threats from the FARC.
