VIDEO-The Unanswered Questions Surrounding the U.S.-Colombia FTA http://www.bilaterals.org/spip.php?article19734

As the U.S. government rams the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with Colombia forward there are many questions and concerns that are being disregarded. But the impacts will be impossible to ignore.My colleague and I recently interviewed representatives from different sectors of Colombian society for a short video series we are launching today on the impacts of the FTA. The messages we heard were similar: the FTA will only serve to deepen inequality in Colombia and further impoverish marginalized sectors of society, pushing more people into illicit coca cultivation or the ranks of the illegally armed groups. A similar message is expressed in a letter sent to members of Congress today from over 400 US and Colombian human rights, development, environmental and religious organizations
