27 November 2012
Excellency:
I have the honor to address Your Excellency, in
accordance with Article LVI of the American Treaty on Pacific
Settlement, on the occasion of giving notice to the General
Secretariat of the Organization of American States, as successor
of the Pan American Union, that the Republic of Colombia
denounces as of today the “American Treaty on Pacific
Settlement”, signed on 30 April 1948 and the instrument of
ratification of which was deposited by Colombia on 6
November 1968.
The denunciation of the American T reaty on Paci fic
Settlement takes effect as of today with regard to procedures
that are initiated after the present no tice, in conformity with
second paragraph of Article LVI, which provides that “The
denunciation sha ll have no effect with respect to pending
procedures initiated prior to the transmission of the particular
notification”.
I avail myself of this opportunity to renew to Your
Excellency the assurances of my highest consideration.

His Excellency
GALO PLAZA
Secretary General of the Organization of American States
Washington, D.C.
Excellency,
I hereby wish to notify the General Secretariat which you
head, the successor to the Pan A merican Union, that the
Republic of El Salvador is denouncing the American Treaty on
Pacific Settlement, or “Pact of Bogotá,” adopted at the Ninth
International Conference of American States, held in Bogotá,
Colombia, from March 30 to May 2, 1948. I would ask you
to kindly transmit a copy of this note to the other High
Contracting Parties.
(…)
3. Although El Salvador has decided to denounce the Pact of
Bogotá, this does not mean that it is r ejecting all forms of
peaceful settlement of international disputes, as it is aware of
the need for these forms and recognizes that there are other
pertinent provisions within the inter-American s ystem, in
particular in the Charter of the Organization of A merican
States and in the In ter- American Treaty of
Assistance, as well as in the Charter of the United Nations, that
prohibit the use of force except in c ases of l egitimate defense,
guard against aggression, and make resources available to states
to settle disputes through specific peaceful procedures.
(…)
Lastly, my government wishes to place on record that if El
Salvador is now denouncing the Pact of Bogotá for the reasons
expressed –a denunciation that will begin to take effect as of
today, it reaffirms at the same time i ts firm resolve to continue
participating in the collective efforts currently under way to
restructure some aspects of the system in order to accommodate
10Annex 3
it to the fundamental changes that have occurred in relations
among the states of the Americas.
I would ask you once again to arrange to have this denunciation
circulated to the other High Contracting Parties.
Accept, Excellency, the ren ewed assurances of my high est
consideration.

Mr. PRESIDENT: …
(…)
Mssrs. delegates: We have before us for our
consideration, the work, already concluded, of the Third
Commission, the text of which is in my power, and with
regard to which I am going
Enríquez, from Mexico, to give us a report. Mr. delega te
Enríquez is part of the group named by the aforesaid
Commission for the drafting,
coordination of the American Treaty on Pacific
Settlement.
Mr. ENRIQUEZ (MEXICO): At its last session, the
Third Commission designated a Drafting Commi
integrated by five delegates, with the purpose of making
a careful review of the articles and make the necessary
amendments thereto, so that the approved provisions
would have a logical drafting. It was also entrusted with
the drafting of certain art icles with regard to which the
Commission had taken express decisions, but it had not
been possible to embody them in formulas, due to the
difficulty of drafting them during the last moments of the
session. [The task] was about finding a sufficiently clear
and explicit legal expression for them. The Commission
approved the provision[s] in general and left it up to the
Committee to find the most adequate drafting.
Today, in the morning, that Committee concluded its
tasks, after organizing, as best it could , the draft of the
Treaty and making the style corrections that it detected
were necessary. It also completed the drafting of all the
articles and, therefore, submitted to the General
Secretariat, for its internal processing, a definitive draft
that incorp orates the result of the work of the Third
Commission.
(…)
128Annex 16
[p. 541]
(…)
Next, former Article LV [now LVI], whose drafting the
[Third] Commission entrusted the [Drafting] Committee.
We decided that the best drafting possible would consist
on replicating Article 16 of the 1929 Treaty [i.e., the
General Convention of Inter -American Conciliation],
and was drafted as follows:
This treaty will be in force
indefinitely, but it may be
denounced through advance notice
of one year, and will cease to have
effect for the party making the
denunciation, and remains in force
for the other signatories. The
denunciation will be made to the
Pan-American Union, which will
transmit it to the other contracting
parties.
The denunciation will not have any
effect on proceedings pending and
initiated prior to the transmission of
the respective notice.”
This article had been approved in a different form, because the
Third Commission had considered that the Treaty [Pact of
Bogotá] would be an annex to the OAS Charter. After the Treaty
[Pact of Bogotá] project had been approved, the chapter to the
[OAS] Ch arter corresponding to ‘Peaceful Settlement of
Disputes’ was studied, and this Treaty [Pact of Bogotá] was to
be inserted as an annex, but multiple objections were made, in
the sense that it was not desirable that the [OAS] Charter made
reference to treaties or annex pacts, but rather, that these were
treated in an independent, special manner. Then, the duration
that had been provided, and the form of denunciation, had to be
changed for those which resulted adequate to the new
characteristics of the independent treaty.”
