Colombia–United States relations
Colombia–United States relations are the bilateral relations between the Republic of Colombia and the United States of America. The relationship between the two states evolved from mutual cordiality during most of the 19th and early 20th centuries to a recent partnership that links the governments of both nations around several key issues; this includes fighting communism, the War on Drugs, and the threat of terrorism due to the September 11 attacks in 2001. During the last fifty years, different American governments and their representatives have become involved in Colombian affairs through the implementation of policies concerned with the issues already stated. Some critics of current US policies in Colombia, such as Law Professor John Barry, claim that US influences have catalyzed internal conflicts and substantially expanded the scope and nature of human rights abuses in Colombia. Supporters, such as Under Secretary of State Marc Grossman, defend the idea that the United States has promoted respect for human rights and the rule of law in Colombia; in addition, adding to the fight against drugs and terrorism.
A signing member of the Rio Pact and SICOFAA, as well as a regular participant in RIMPAC, Colombia was notably the only South American nation to support the US-led Iraq War of 2003. The Colombian government also strongly condemned the nuclear tests of North Korea in 2006,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=COMUNICADO DEL GOBIERNO NACIONAL )〕 2009,〔(Colombia condemns N-Korea nuclear tests ) ''Colombia Reports''〕 and 2013,〔(Colombia condemns North Korean threats ) ''Colombia Reports''〕 resolved to send soldiers to Afghanistan to aid the International Security Assistance Force in their ongoing struggle with the Taliban,〔(Colombia Sends Troops to Afghanistan )〕 joined the West and its allies in recognizing Kosovo,〔(Colombia officially recognizes independent Kosovo ) August 7, 2008〕 and, in voting in favor of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1973 officially supported foreign military intervention in the Libyan Civil War.〔(Security Council Approves No-Fly Zone over Syria )〕 Upon the death of Osama bin Laden, Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos congratulated Obama, stating in a press release that the raid "proves once again that terrorists, sooner or later, always fall. In the global fight against terrorism there is only one way: to persevere, persevere and persevere."
As of 2013, Colombia has expressed its aspirations to eventually join the U.S.-led NATO military alliance. President Juan Manuel Santos stated, "In June, NATO will sign an agreement with the Colombian government, with the Defense Ministry, to start a process of rapprochement and cooperation, with an eye toward also joining that organization."〔(Colombia heads toward NATO membership )〕 The U.S. in response has noted, "Our goal is certainly to support Colombia as being a capable and strong member of lots of different international organizations, and that might well include NATO."〔(U.S. might support Colombia NATO bid: State Department official ) ''Raw Story''〕
According to the 2012 U.S. Global Leadership Report, 47% of Colombians approve of U.S. leadership, with 23% disapproving and 29% uncertain; the sixth-highest rating of the U.S. for any surveyed country in the Americas.〔(U.S. Global Leadership Project Report - 2012 ) ''Gallup''〕 In a survey in 2015, the image of President Obama's favorability was 78%〔http://www.noticiasrcn.com/sites/default/files/if-15030686_-_colombia_opina_2015_-_v3.pdf〕 among Colombians.
