Caracas, March 18, 2008 (venezuelanalysis.com) - After fourteen hours of tense debate, the meeting of Foreign Ministers of the Organization of American States (OAS) approved, early this morning in Washington, a resolution ratifying the declaration of the Rio Group Summit of March 7, which rejected Colombia's military incursion into Ecuador on March 1. The incursion had killed 25 people, including Raul Reyes, second in command of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC).

The resolution was approved unanimously by all 34 member countries, except for the United States, which expressed "reservations" about point four, which "rejects the incursion of military and police forces of Colombia in the territory of Ecuador," considering it a "clear violation" of articles 19 and 21 of the OAS Charter."

U.S. Undersecretary of State John Negraponte said the U.S "supported" the resolution in general in order to "build trust between Colombian and Ecuador," but argued that Colombia's military incursion was "justifiable" on the basis of "legitimate defense."
