REF: BOGOTA 3375 
 
SUMMARY 
 
------- 
 
 
 
1. (SBU) The Ambassador traveled to Paipa, Boyaca, on November 5 to 
speak at the Supreme Court-organized National Summit of General 
Jurisdiction, a conference which brought together judges from all 
over Colombia.  The Ambassador stressed the importance of access to 
justice during Colombia's journey from lawlessness to stability, 
and gave the assembled judiciary credit for making Colombia better 
off today.  During their private conversation, Boyaca Governor Jose 
Rozo Millan highlighted the importance of investment in traditional 
agriculture, as well as mining exploration for coal and emeralds. 
He also sought to develop Boyaca's tourism industry, taking 
advantage of soon to begin charter flights to Houston.  The 
Ambassador also visited a local dairy farm to view a USDA-supported 
Foot and Mouth Disease monitoring program.  END SUMMARY. 
 
 
 
SUPREME COURT-SPONSORED CONFERENCE FOCUSES ON ACCESS TO JUSTICE 
 
--------------------------------------------- ------------------ 
 
 
 
2. (U) At invitation by the Court, the Ambassador attended a lunch 
sponsored by the Supreme Court and delivered remarks at the opening 
ceremony of the XII Encuentro de la Jurisdiccion Ordinaria, the 
twelfth national Summit of General Jurisdiction.  General 
Jurisdiction includes civil, family, labor, and criminal matters, 
and the main theme of this year's conference was access to justice. 
Attendees included Supreme Court judges, appellate judges, lower 
level judges, law professors, and students.  USAID and DOJ 
facilitated the attendance of two U.S. federal judges:  Edward 
Prado, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, and David 
Briones, U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas (El 
Paso), both of whom made presentations at the conference. 
 
3. (SBU) The Ambassador spoke of the importance of access to 
justice during Colombia's journey from lawlessness to stability 
over the past ten years, and gave the assembled judiciary credit 
for making Colombia better off today.  He highlighted the last 
decade as a period of successful collaboration between the judicial 
and legal systems of Colombia and the U.S., and noted that Colombia 
has experienced this period of relative peace with help from a 
strong justice system.  The Ambassador emphasized how access to 
justice instills confidence which builds peace.  He recalled the 
sacrifice made by 11 Supreme Court magistrates assassinated in the 
attack on the Bogota Justice Palace of November 6-7, 1985.  He 
finished by reminding the audience sacrifices such as these are not 
in vain, and that as they contemplate judicial access and peace in 
the country, U.S. support will continue.  The summit comes at a 
time when tensions between the Supreme Court and the Uribe 
administration remain strained, particularly over the Court's 
refusal, to date, to accept any of Uribe's nominees to be the new 
prosecutor general. 
 
 
 
GOVERNOR OF BOYACA UNDERLINES TOURISM AND DEVELOPMENT PRIORITIES 
 
--------------------------------------------- ------------------- 
 
 
 
4. (U) The Ambassador met with Jose Rozo Millan, the Governor of 
Boyaca, to discuss the Governor's development plans in his 
department.  The Governor highlighted the importance of continued 
investment in traditional agriculture, as well as mining 
exploration for coal and emeralds.  The Governor is eager to tap 
the department's resources to turn it into a bona fide tourism 
destination.  A lack of transport infrastructure remains an 
impediment to these plans, but the Governor hopes to address 
improvements in ground transport, including a highway link to 
Bogota and new rail links to improve export routes.  He hopes that 
charter flights to Boyaca from Houston and Cartagena will begin 
soon, as there is currently no international service at any of the 
 
 
department's four airports.  The Ambassador queried how the 
security situation in Boyaca would affect the development plans. 
The Governor informed the Ambassador that although Boyaca is the 
most secure department in Colombia, security is his first priority 
and is essential to his tourism plans.  The Ambassador agreed that 
threats from guerrillas, drug-traffickers and the shared border 
with Venezuela remain, and outlined the Embassy's Colombia 
Strategic Development Initiative, which targets specific zones in 
Colombia where similar threats exist. 
 
 
 
FARM VISIT HIGHLIGHTS USG SUPPORT OF FMD MONITORING PROGRAM 
 
--------------------------------------------- -------------- 
 
 
 
5. (U) Ambassador Brownfield visited the San Joaquin dairy farm to 
view the Colombian Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) monitoring program. 
The program is part of a cooperative agreement between U.S. 
Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Colombian Ministry of 
Agriculture's regulatory agency (ICA) to eradicate FMD in Colombia. 
USDA currently contributes financial (USD $650,000 for FY 2010) and 
technical support to the program.  Colombia received FMD-free 
status with vaccination from the World Organization of Animal 
Health in 2008.  The farm owner, ICA and Colombian Cattlemen 
Federation (Fedegan) officials briefed the Ambassador on the 
vaccination program's successes and operations.  The Paipa ICA 
office administers the vaccination program in approximately 26,000 
farms in 48 municipalities across the region, with an average of 
three cows per farm.  Fedegan reports almost 100% vaccination 
success in the region.  Colombian dairy companies will not accept 
milk from dairy farms without a Fedegan certificate of vaccination. 
Fedegan uses education about the importance of vaccination as the 
main tool to ensure full vaccination coverage in the region. The 
Ambassador praised the long-standing U.S.-Colombian collaboration 
to eliminate FMD, to provide a better life for farmers and improve 
bilateral commerce between the two countries. 
 
 
 
NATIONAL AND REGIONAL PRESS COVERAGE 
 
------------------------------------ 
 
 
 
6. (U) Press coverage of the Ambassador's visit to Paipa was 
varied.  The majority of coverage focused on his answer to a 
question during a press gaggle at the conference regarding the 
trial of a former Colombian Navy Admiral for involvement in 
narcotics trafficking (Reftel).  Both the conference and the visit 
to the dairy farm were open to the press.  Coverage of the 
conference and the Ambassador's remarks included stories in leading 
national and regional papers, television, and radio.
