  • Unasur 'democratic clause' comes into force after ratification by Uruguay and Colombia

    ECUADOR, 2014/03/23 In a ceremony that took place in Quito, Ecuadorean Foreign Minister Ricardo Patiño announced that Colombia became the tenth country to ratify the clause. The ratification of nine member states was required for the policy approaching into force and Uruguay had by presently complied with that pre-requisite a month ago, on February 18. “Uruguay’s ratification could not be additional timely. It comes as Venezuela, a brother country, is suffering the attacks of an opposition that believes that the path to political power is the use of force and violence,” Patiño said.
