Colombia’s Constitutional Court met today to discuss the government’s plans to reinstate aerial spraying of coca. President Iván Duque was the first to address the high court; he asked the justices to “modulate” their past rulings to allow more spraying.

I just posted an analysis of this to WOLA’s website. It addresses a series of questions:

• Why did coca cultivation increase so much?
• Is glyphosate dangerous?
• What restrictions did Colombia’s Constitutional Court put in place in 2017?
• What do the peace accords call for?
• What do US officials say?
• Is aerial spraying effective?
• What other options are there?
• How else could we measure success?
• Is crop eradication effective in any form?
