World Briefing | Americas: Ecuador Sues Colombia Over Coca Spraying


Ecuador filed a lawsuit against Colombia in an international court, seeking to end Colombia’s fumigation of coca crops along the border. Ecuador says that the aerial herbicide spraying also kills legal crops in Ecuador and that it sickens Ecuadoreans living near the border. Faced with previous complaints, Colombia had recently increased manual eradication of coca plants as part of an antinarcotics program financed by the United States. The lawsuit, filed in the International Court of Justice in The Hague, followed a raid by Colombian forces on March 1 on Colombian guerrillas in Ecuador.
