Overview
Colombia is the fourth largest country in South America, with a territory of 441,020 square miles
(1,141,748 square kilometers). Located on the northwestern corner of the South American continent,
Colombia borders Panama and the Caribbean Sea on the north, Peru and Ecuador on the south,
Venezuela and Brazil on the east and the Pacific Ocean on the west. According to the National
Administrative Department of Statistics ("DANE") 2005 Census, Colombia's population was
approximately 41.2 million. Over 7.8 million people live in the metropolitan area of Bogotá, the capital of
Colombia.
Colombia continues to be governed as a Presidential Republic. Colombia is divided into 32
departments. Each department is divided into municipalities.
Government
The Republic of Colombia is one of the oldest democracies in the Americas. In 1991, a popularly
elected Constitutional Assembly approved a new Constitution, replacing the Constitution of 1886. The
Constitution provides for three independent branches of government: an executive branch headed by
the President; a legislative branch consisting of the bicameral Congress, composed of the Chamber of
Representatives and the Senate; and a judicial branch consisting of the Corte Constitucional
(Constitutional Court), the Corte Suprema de Justicia (Supreme Court of Justice, or "Supreme Court"),
the Consejo de Estado (Council of State), the Consejo Superior de la Judicatura (Supreme Judicial
Council), the Fiscalía General de la Nación (National Prosecutor General) and in such lower courts as
may be established by law.
Under the Constitution, the President is elected by direct vote. Originally, under the 1991 Constitution,
the President was elected for a four-year term and could not be reelected to any subsequent term. In
March 2004, the Government presented to Congress a constitutional amendment seeking to lift the ban
on presidential re-election. The re-election bill was approved by means of Legislative Act No. 02 dated
December 27, 2004 (the "Legislative Act"). Following the filing of several complaints challenging the
constitutionality of the Legislative Act, the Constitutional Court declared that the Legislative Act did not
violate the Constitution. Congress also passed the "Electoral Guarantees Law", which regulates the
manner in which a current President may act as a candidate in a re-election without having unfair
advantages over his or her opponents. In November 2005, the Constitutional Court upheld the Electoral

Guarantees Law as constitutional.
Judicial power is vested in the Constitutional Court, the Supreme Court, the Council of State, the
Supreme Judicial Council, the National Prosecutor General and in such lower courts as may be

established by law. The function of the Constitutional Court, whose nine members are elected by the
Senate for an eight-year term, is to assure that all laws are consistent with the Constitution and to
review all decisions regarding fundamental rights. The Supreme Court is the final appellate court for
resolving civil, criminal and labor proceedings. The Council of State adjudicates all matters relating to
the exercise of public authority or actions taken by the public sector, including the review of all
administrative decisions or resolutions that are alleged to contradict the Constitution or the law. The
Council of State also acts as advisor to the Government on administrative matters. Supreme Court and
Council of State justices are appointed for eight-year terms by their predecessors from a list of
candidates provided by the Supreme Judicial Council. The National Prosecutor General, who is
appointed for a four-year term by the Supreme Court from a list of three candidates submitted by the
President, acts as the nation's prosecutor. The judicial branch is independent from the executive branch
with respect to judicial appointments as well as budgetary matters.
National legislative power is vested in the Congress, which consists of a 102-member Senate and a 166-
member Chamber of Representatives. Senators and Representatives are elected by direct popular vote
for terms of four years. Senators are elected on a nonterritorial basis, while Representatives are elected
on the basis of proportional, territorial representation. In each department, legislative power is vested in
departmental assemblies whose members are elected by direct popular vote. At the municipal level,
legislative power is vested in municipal councils, which preside over budgetary and administrative
matters. The most recent Congressional elections occurred on March 12, 2006. Candidates aligned with
President Uribe's administration won a majority of the seats in both the Senate and the Chamber of
Representatives.
On May 28, 2006, Alvaro Uribe was re-elected President for the 2006-2010 term in the first ballot with
62.2% of the votes. Carlos Gaviria, from the Alternative Democratic Pole Party, finished second with
22.04% and Horacio Serpa, from the Liberal Party, was third with 11.84% of the votes.
President Uribe's plans for his second term in office include the following goals:
· Economy. The Government plans to achieve a 6% annual rate of growth. To that end, the
Government plans on pursuing a stable macroeconomic policy, reforming the tax system, boosting
credit supply and attracting foreign investors as major priorities. In addition, the Government plans on
increasing the number of beneficiaries of social assistance programs.
· Security. The Government intends to continue its efforts to reduce homicides, kidnappings and
illegal drug production, insisting on a dialogue with the illegal armed groups and strengthening the
programs of reintegration into civil society of former combatants.
· Commercial relationships. The Government plans to promote the redirection of the Andean
Community of Nations, developing the agreements already signed with Mercosur, expanding the free
trade agreements with countries of Central America and the European Union and increasing
economic cooperation with China and Japan.
No assurance can be given that any of these goals will be achieved.
