U.S. lawmakers will review the language of an anti-drug plan that Mexican officials contend infringes on their nation’s sovereignty by conditioning aid to performance on human rights, a senior U.S. senator said Sunday.
Sen. Christopher Dodd, D-Conn., said that a visiting delegation of U.S. lawmakers will take concerns expressed to them by Mexican legislators this weekend back to the U.S. Congress, which has been considering the aid plan, known as the Merida Initiative.
The plan, proposed in October by U.S. President George Bush, would give Mexico and other Latin American countries US$1.4 billion over several years to fight drug trafficking.”*
