Buenos Aires Herald, 13 May 2014 - Leaders Hint at Getting Away From 'Totally Inefficient' US-Led Policy to Combat Trafficking Amid the usual pomp and ceremony of a state visit, Chilean President Michelle Bachelet yesterday touched on drug-trafficking - a sensitive issue locally - by suggesting the problem be taken up on a regional level at UNASUR, in a move that appears to be one more step away from the US policy on the issue, which President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner yesterday described as "totally inefficient."

Buenos Aires Herald, 06 May 2014 - With Uruguay officially becoming today the first Latin American country to legalise marijuana trade, the National Security Secretary praised the Jose "Pepe" Mujica administration for getting the debate on drug liberalisation started. "There is no experience of that kind and it is rush to give an opinion without the results. It is a country that has dared to make a strong and profound decision. We hope it to be very successful; we have to continue discussing because anti-drugs policies must not be (carried out by) a single country but regionally," the official told reporters today.

Wall Street Journal, 26 Aug 2009 - BUENOS AIRES -- Argentina's Supreme Court largely decriminalized possession of small quantities of marijuana, part of a Latin American trend toward easing sanctions on personal drug use. The unanimous ruling struck down a 1989 Argentine law that dictated prison sentences of up to two years for drug possession. The case overturns the convictions of five young men, swept up in a trafficking investigation, for possession of between one and three marijuana cigarettes each.

Buenos Aires Herald, 26 Feb 2009 - MEXICO CITY - Shortly before America's election last November, then vice-presidential candidate Joseph Biden was widely criticized for predicting that an Obama administration would almostcertainly be tested by what he called a "generated" international crisis, in much the way that the Soviet Union "tested" John Kennedy shortly after he took office. Mr. Biden did not point to a specific region of the world but mentioned the Middle East, the Indian subcontinent and Russia as the likeliest sources of trouble for the new President. Impolitic or not, Mr. Biden's anxieties seem to have informed several of the administration's early foreign-policy decisions. These include Mr. Biden's own extension of an olive branch to Russia at the recent Munich Security Conference, and Barack Obama's appointment of Richard Holbrooke as special envoy for Pakistan and Afghanistanand of George Mitchell to a similar post for Israel and Palestine.
