Tróis Rivieres Conference (1900) (Final Text)

[Kuumo]

Secretary of State Manuel Antonio Matos, Archbishop-President Federico González Suárez, and the rest of the Colombian delegation concur with the New England delegation that the "full access" clause in Article 7 should be replaced with "reasonable access."

Secretary Matos shares Scandinavia's concerns over rogue powers delaying ratification and proposes the following amendment with a lower barrier to putting the treaty into effect: "Article 8: This treaty shall enter into force when 3/4 greater than one-half of recognized and fully sovereign states ratify the treaty."

[Kuumo]

The Colombian delegation supports putting the treaty into force immediately after ratification and would vote in favor of Scandinavia's proposed draft of Article VIII.

[Kuumo]

Colombia votes “embargo”, “yes”, and “Scandinavian threshold”.
