REPORT FROM EL SALVADOR 
September 28-October 5, 1992

With less than a month remaining before the October 31 cease-fire 
deadline, high-level UN and US officials visited the country this 
week to help overcome the principal obstacles to the peace process. 
The simultaneous visits of UN Assistant Secretary General Marrack 
Goulding, Gen. George Joulwan of the US Southern Command and 
Assistant Secretary of State Bernard Aronson were described as 
"hardly a coincidence" coming one week after the submission of the 
Ad-Hoc Commission's report and at the time when the 
government's failure to initiate land transfers is threatening to 
hinder further demobilization of FMLN military forces.

Mr. Goulding arrived on September 28 for his third visit and held 
several days of closed-door meetings with both sides in an attempt 
to hammer out an agreement on the land issue and other delayed 
accords. Faced with a lack of progress in the talks, the FMLN 
"suspended" the scheduled demobilization of its third 20% of 
combatants. Goulding extended his stay 24 hours, but then 
departed without a solution in hand, not ruling out a third re-
calendarization of the process and promising that the UN would 
elaborate a compromise proposal. He is expected to return next 
week.

General Joulwan also visited on September 28. After discussions 
with government, military and ONUSAL officials, he held a press 
conference in which he praised the Armed Forces' professionalism 
in complying with the peace agreement. He disclosed that President 
Cristiani was conferring with the UN on the possibility of softening 
the Ad-Hoc recommendations. Days later Aronson arrived 
expressing the Bush Administration's support for the peace process 
and insisting the October 31 deadline must be respected. After talks 
with both sides, the Armed Forces High Command, and members 
of the Economic Social Forum, Aronson declared he was "more 
optimistic ... than when I arrived" but acknowledged that meeting 
the October 31 deadline was a decision to be made by the UN, the 
government and the FMLN.

Honduran President Rafael Callejas was welcomed to the country 
with great fanfare and full military honors this week; it was the first 
visit in 25 years by a Honduran head-of-state. Cristiani and Callejas 
reaffirmed ties of cooperation and formally installed the Bi-National 
Commission mandated to implement the September 11 World 
Court ruling on the countries' border dispute. However, on the 
issue of Honduran troops in the border "bolsones," Callejas 
contradicted his Minister of Defense by claiming, "in no moment has 
[the army] mobilized soldiers to the places conceded to Honduras." 
(1)

Flash flooding in the south-eastern region of the country destroyed 
crops and livestock and left thirty-five thousand people homeless. 
The government received permission from ONUSAL to use Air 
Force helicopters in evacuation efforts. Popular organizations urged 
the Assembly to declare the area a "disaster zone" and demanded 
that CEL be investigated for opening the gates of the "15 de 
Septiembre" dam, which apparently aggravated the catastrophe.

Also this week, the FMLN completed the requirements to become a 
legal political party, and members marched from El Salvador del 
Mundo to the Supreme Electoral Tribunal and presented the party 
statutes, program and 24 books containing 6,000 signatures. "Here 
we are," exclaimed Schafik Handal, "to show they cannot stop us." (2) 
The Treasury Ministry submitted the government's 1993 budget to 
the Assembly, allocating more funds to education than defense for 
the first time in 12 years. Military spending is still substantial and, 
according to opposition deputies and the FMLN, out of line with 
the reconstruction needs of the country.


"The Armed Forces have adhered to the spirit and letter of the peace 
accords." 
Gen. George Joulwan (3)

"What would the United States government do to protect a Minister 
of Defense?"
Celia Medrano, CDHES (4)

After several hours of meetings with President Cristiani, Minister of 
Defense Ponce and ONUSAL Military Director Gen. Suanzes Pardo, 
the head of the US Southern Command held a press conference at  
the US Embassy. "The objective of my visit is to evaluate progress 
towards peace and underscore the continuous support of the 
United States for democracy," he declared. (5) Joulwan said he 
wanted to "publicly recognize" the "professionalism" and "flexibility" 
demonstrated by the Armed Forces: "It has submitted itself to 
demobilization in compliance with the peace accords and to revision 
by the Ad-Hoc Commission." (6)

Joulwan reiterated US support for the purging process and, 
following meetings with Cristiani and Ponce, said he was convinced 
the army would comply with the recommendations in the Ad-Hoc 
Commission's report. He also disclosed, perhaps inadvertently, that 
Cristiani was discussing with the UN the possibility  of "flexibility" 
in the application of the Ad-Hoc recommendations. (7)

The military commander noted that the FMLN has "not complied 
with the established time periods," and called for the Frente to turn 
in all arms, especially sophisticated weapons. (8) Nevertheless, he 
said the US government has faith that the cease-fire deadline will be 
observed (9) and he promised that economic aid would be 
"maintained as in earlier years." Embassy charge d'affaires Peter 
Romero announced that $20 million would be sent as soon as 
possible for the National Civil Police. (10)

"We are not asking for flexibility with the report," insisted President 
Cristiani the following day, "we are going to comply with the 
accords." (11) However, Celia Medrano of the non-governmental 
Human Rights Commission charged, "the presence of US 
government officials in this moment has the objective of protecting 
certain [officers'] names," and urged the President "not to cede to 
pressures from the US government." She explained that abuses 
implicating Minister of Defense Ponce were included in 
documentation presented by CDHES to the Commission, and said 
he could very well be named in the Ad-Hoc report. (12)


"I trust in the good faith and cooperation of both sides."
Marrack Goulding (13)

Upon his arrival on September 28, Marrack Goulding told reporters 
that there had been "much progress" since his last visit and said the 
Secretary General's evaluation was "very positive, since both sides 
have complied in several reprogrammed points." However, "the 
issue of land continues to be very complicated." From the airport, 
Goulding proceeded to a meeting with President Cristiani to begin a 
series of private discussions with the government and the FMLN.

According to the reprogramming of the calendar following 
Goulding's last visit in August, the FMLN was scheduled to 
demobilize its third contingent of troops on September 30. Last 
week, when the second 20% of combatants turned in their arms, 
FMLN leaders insisted further demobilization depended on the 
transfer of lands. As September 30 approached, ONUSAL was still 
waiting for notification of whether or not the next contingent 
would demobilize, while the FMLN said everything depended on 
the on-going discussions with Goulding.

On September 29 FMLN leaders Leonel Gonzalez and Nidia Diaz 
called for an acceleration of efforts to achieve full compliance with 
the peace agreement. "If there is not 100% compliance," declared 
Gonzalez, "we will not be able to say the foundations have been laid 
for a new El Salvador." (14) He cited 64 accords not complied with by 
the government, 10 by COPAZ and 6 by the FMLN and asserted that 
the FMLN's principal points of concern were the purging of the 
Armed Forces, the transfer of land to ex-combatants and the civilian 
population, respect for human rights, deployment of the National 
Civil Police, the definitive dissolution of the old intelligence agency 
and electoral reforms. (15)

The following day, the FMLN announced the "suspension" of the 
third demobilization but said meetings were continuing with 
Marrack Goulding to find a solution. "I am optimistic that it is only a 
problem of a few days," assured Salvador Samayoa, attributing the 
suspension to the government's failure to provide guarantees on 
land transfers. Once there are advances, he asserted, "we will not 
have the least problem in demobilizing our military force." (16)

President Cristiani said he "regretted" the FMLN's decision, while 
ARENA Deputy Gloria Salguero Gross claimed the land problem was 
"not a valid pretext," saying delays in transfers were the FMLN's own 
fault for presenting "an unreal and exorbitantly large land 
inventory." (17) Mario Aguinada Carranza of the UDN differed, 
however: "We should comply with October 31, but we should also 
comply with all the accords." He explained that COPAZ has not 
received any information on the demobilization of the Armed 
Forces, the Ad-Hoc recommendations or the formation of the 
Military School Academic Council. (18)

On October 2, disabled war veterans of the Armed Forces urged the 
FMLN to condition demobilization on the passage of a "lisiados" 
protection law as stipulated by the peace accords. "The call is real. 
Do not demobilize," declared ALFAES President Carlos Batres. If the 
law is not approved by October 31, "it will be too late." (19) The 
FMLN disabled combatant organization, ASALDIG, announced it has 
submitted a petition to the FMLN asking that the dismantling of its 
military structure be placed on hold until passage of the law. (20)


"Lands are being invaded and next it will be the industries." 
Raul Garcia Prieto (21)

Coinciding with the UN official's arrival, a series of paid ads 
appeared in the morning newspapers calling for the "immediate 
intervention of Marrack Goulding" so that "groups affiliated with 
the FMLN" abandon occupied properties. (22) On September 30 a 
campesino organization, the CTC, announced that 300 families had 
occupied two haciendas in La Libertad as part of a campaign to 
appropriate properties exceeding 245 hectares, the limit imposed 
by the Agrarian Reform.(23)

Raul Garcia Prieto, President of the National Financial Institute for 
Agricultural Land (FINATA), charged that the property 
appropriations were part of an FMLN "electoral strategy" and called 
on Marrack Goulding and Bernard Aronson to learn the "true 
situation of land invasions." Prieto also blamed the FMLN for the lack 
of foreign investment: "Who would want to invest? ... Lands are 
being invaded and next it will be the industries." (24)


"The date of October 31 for the demobilization of the FMLN is 
essential and crucial in the compliance of the peace accords." 
Bernard Aronson (25)

"The US administration invested 10 years and $4 billion in the 
Salvadoran war and today wants peace cheap and fast." 
Joaquin Villalobos (26)

When he arrived at Comalapa airport on September 30, Bernard 
Aronson said he would be meeting with President Cristiani, the 
Armed Forces High Command, UN representatives, members of the 
Economic Social Forum and PNC Academy officials. "I do not believe 
the peace process is going through a crisis, but this is an important 
moment," he asserted, adding that the two principal points of 
discussion would be the purging of the military and the 
demobilization of the FMLN: "The United States wants to cooperate 
in the full execution of the Ad-Hoc recommendations." Aronson also 
called October 31 "essential and crucial" for the dismantling of the 
FMLN military forces. (27)

President Cristiani described Aronson's visit as "principally 
diplomatic" but also as reinforcement of the Bush Administration's 
support for the government in the absence of an Ambassador. (28) 
Gerson Martinez said the FMLN wanted "to interpret the presence of 
the chief of the Southern Command and Mr. Aronson as 
constructive interest on the part of the North American 
government." (29) Salvador Samayoa asserted that the main concern 
of the US government "is the Ad-Hoc report" and the "violent, 
negative and destabilizing reaction it could have." (30) Joaquin 
Villalobos charged that Bernard Aronson would try to coerce the 
FMLN into completely demobilizing by October 31 and said that the 
upcoming elections and possible change of administration in the US 
is "creating pressure to end the peace process any way possible."

Villalobos insisted that a renegotiation of the accords was not 
acceptable. Not a single parcel of land has been transferred, the 
conditions have not been met for their distribution, the FMLN 
inventory has not been verified and "this cannot be done in 30 days." 
The FMLN commander warned of "serious internal ruptures" if 
attempts are made to resolve the situation "in two days according to 
the clock of the United States and UN" adding, "it is impossible to 
save October 31 no matter how many personalities move about." He 
contended that the FMLN leadership cannot accept a solution 
without asking the consent of its members and grass roots 
supporters: "No one will disarm the campesinos if they are not given 
land. No one will accept leaving ARENA with an advantage in the 
electoral system and the media for the 1994 elections." (31)

CD leader Ruben Zamora called for extending the cease-fire deadline 
two months, explaining that while the calendar has been 
reprogrammed twice, "each time, rather than setting back or 
postponing the 31st deadline, they crammed everything into less 
time." (32) PDC Deputy Gerardo Le Chevalier, for his part, 
interpreted the presence of Bernard Aronson as "an institutional 
support ... to all of us working for peace," but echoed the call for a 
"two to three month" extension so that all the accords are complied 
with. (33)


"None of these problems are insoluble." 
Marrack Goulding (34)

Marrack Goulding departed the country on October 2 after holding 
repeated meetings with the FMLN and government and visiting the 
ex-conflictive zones to "see the situation on the ground." In 
comments to the press, he recognized the "great political will" of 
both sides and said he was returning to New York to give a report to 
the UN Secretary General. Goulding said the UN would prepare a 
"just and reasonable" proposal for resolving the land issue. (35) 
October 31 is important but not determinant, he asserted. While an 
effort is still being made to implement the second reprogramming 
of the accords, "obviously we do not exclude the possibility that 
both sides could decide on a third re-calendarization." If the cease-
fire is extended, it should not be seen as "something dramatic," he 
stressed, but as "normal" in this "complicated and ambitious" 
process. (36) He also cautioned against actions and declarations that 
could cause tension. "It is important that land invasions cease, 
because they hinder the peace process." (37)

Goulding's met with COPAZ earlier that morning, after which 
FMLN leader Francisco Jovel said, "more objective" information is 
being collected on the size of parcels and the availability of resources. 
(38) ARENA Deputy Raul Somoza Alfaro reported, "He made it clear 
that [prolonging the cease-fire] should not be considered a disaster 
... but is among the possibilities that could be proposed." (39) FMLN 
Commander Jorge Melendez said Goulding was unable to present a 
"concrete proposal" because of a lack of time: "The most serious 
problem is time ... which makes it more difficult to find a formula 
that satisfies [everyone]." (40) According to MAC Deputy Guillermo 
Lacayo, the UN will seek to find a middle-ground between the 
government and FMLN positions. (41) Norma Guevara of the FMLN 
reported on October 4 that the demobilization of the third 
contingent of combatants would remain suspended until the UN 
presents its proposal. (42)

An FMLN leader said this week that the government land proposal 
calls for allotting three manzanas (1 manzana = 2.7 acres) to 
combatants over 21 years of age and 1.5 manzanas to civilians, 
without taking into consideration the quality of the plots. The 
FMLN, on the other hand, insists land be distributed equally to 
combatants of all ages as well as the civilian population, while the 
size of parcels transferred should be scaled according to quality: six 
manzanas for higher, 10 manzanas for medium and 15 manzanas for 
lower grade lands. The government proposal also insists properties 
be distributed as individually owned parcels, while the FMLN plan 
calls for communal or cooperative ownership. (43)

According to Minister to the President Dr. Oscar Santamaria, the 
government plan proposes three to seven manzanas depending on 
quality but prioritizes transfers to ex-combatants: Santamaria 
insisted that the accords do not require the distribution of 
properties to civilian tenants prior to October 31. (44)

While government officials have repeatedly insisted the main 
obstacle to land transfers is the scarcity of financial resources, 
Commander Leonel Gonzalez insisted, "the commitment to transfer 
land never placed conditions on the availability of funds." (45) 
Antonio Alvarez of the FMLN Land Commission called for a 50% 
reduction in the defense budget, citing the high level of military 
spending as "one of the reasons" why there are no resources. (46) 
Ruben Zamora concurred, saying military spending in peace-time is 
"one hundred times less" than in wartime and "the government has 
not transferred any resources from the Ministry of Defense budget." 
(47)

Archbishop Rivera y Damas "regretted" that Marrack Goulding was 
unable to resolve the land issue during his visit and blamed the 
FMLN for being "negligent" and not demonstrating "more good 
will." However, he described Goulding's visit as positive because the 
presence of a high-level UN official has "placed the eyes of the world" 
on the country: "which should stimulate the FMLN ... to give its best 
effort so this can be resolved." Rivera y Damas said October is the 
"decisive month for the consolidation of peace" and called the 31st a 
"transcendental" date for ending "the period of armed peace." (48)

President Cristiani denied that a third re-calendarization had been 
discussed with Mr. Goulding but said he would return "soon, 
possibly next week" with the UN proposal. Three experts from the 
World Bank, IMF and FAO are working with the UN "to find a 
formula that can be acceptable and supported by the FMLN." (49)


RI think El Salvador is building a new future as we speak.S
Bernard Aronson (50)

Following a tight three-day agenda, which included a meeting with 
the FMLN General Command and visits to the El Paisnal and Santa 
Marta END encampments, Bernard Aronson held a press conference 
in the US Embassy on October 2. Calling the peace process 
"irreversible," Aronson promised to "squeeze" the US budget every 
way possible to come up with more economic aid and announced 
that the US Congress has already been asked to pardon an 
unspecified portion of the country's foreign debt. "But it is also 
important that other countries and international financial 
institutions comply with their responsibilities in El Salvador," (51) 
he asserted, saying the UN Secretary General has been requested to 
"make a new call to other countries" to provide funds for the 
purchase of lands. (52)

Aronson said he believes the FMLN is "sincere" about transforming 
into a political party but declared: "It is absolutely essential that the 
FMLN continue to show good faith by demobilizing and by turning 
in its weapons to the United Nations." (53) He also said he hoped the 
FMLN recognized the financial problems with land transfers. And in 
a complete reversal from his earlier statements, Aronson 
acknowledged that the October 31 deadline is not up to the US: "The 
United Nations, government and FMLN will decide if they need to 
change this date." (54)

Aronson reportedly left the country on October 3. The same day the 
FMLN announced it was increasing security for its members, after 
being warned by the US official of the possibility of attacks from 
"sectors opposed to the peace process." Aronson reportedly urged 
the FMLN not to respond militarily, because that could result in a 
dirty war. (55)






"We must not take the top off a caldron if it cannot be put back 
later."
PDC Deputy Ludovico Samayoa (56)

Debate over President Cristiani's decision to keep the Ad-Hoc 
Commission's report confidential continued this week. "One of our 
greatest fears," declared Ruben Zamora, "is that the President will 
refuse to make the report known and in two or three days, we will 
be reading it in the NEW YORK TIMES." (57) He called on Cristiani to 
release the results "after a prudent period of 15-20 days." CD Deputy 
Juan Jose Martell said withholding the report only generates 
speculation, citing reports that "seven generals were involved when 
there are only five currently on active duty." (58) And Celia 
Medrano of CDHES warned that since not even the FMLN or COPAZ 
knows its contents, the report "could be modified without society's 
knowledge." (59)

President Cristiani reiterated his refusal to give a copy to COPAZ. 
The UN Secretary General is "perfectly capable" of verifying 
compliance, (60) he contended, "unless someone in COPAZ has 
doubts about the honesty of the Secretary General of the United 
Nations." (61)

General Vargas, in his first public statements since the presentation 
of the report, said the Armed Forces did not fear the results, 
because it has acted in accordance with its constitutional mandate 
during the war. While admitting that abuses could have been 
committed, he insisted, "the Armed Forces by itself ... will take 
charge of punishing them [the perpetrators]." (62)

The ultra-right "Movimiento Civico El Salvador Libre" returned this 
week with a paid ad charging that the presence of two founding 
members of the Christian Democrat Party on the Ad-Hoc 
Commission "disqualifies its results," because former President 
Duarte once stated in a political speech that "there would not be 
enough posts to hang all the military officers." (63) Vargas also 
appeared to be referring to the PDC when he declared: "Many of 
those who once demanded the heads of terrorists, today want to 
condemn the Armed Forces." (64)

Meanwhile, the UNTS presented cases of human rights abuses 
committed during the war against the labor movement, including 
the FENASTRAS bombing, to the Truth Commission. All the cases 
implicate high-level military leaders, including Colonels Francisco 
Elena Fuentes, Carlos Guzman Aguilar, Jose Humberto Rubio and 
Generals Reynaldo Golcher and Rene Emilio Ponce. (65) FEASIES 
leader Mario Vasquez reported that ONUSAL will begin to provide 
"constant security" to the offices of unions and labor organizations, 
faced with government indifference over the recent machine-
gunning of the FEASIES building and subsequent telephone threats. 
(66)

Also this week, Pedro Nikken, a UN independent human rights 
expert, was in the country to evaluate the current situation and 
monitor how UN recommendations have been implemented by the 
government and the FMLN. He declined to provide details on his 
findings, but noted an improvement as a result of the "separation of 
forces," and said he will present his report to the UN General 
Assembly next month. (67) The new director of the ONUSAL 
Human Rights Division, Peruvian Dr. Diego Garcia-Sayan was 
scheduled to assume his post on October 1. (68)


"Do not forget the legal materials you have learned, especially 
respect for people."
ONUSAL Police Observer (69)

The first units of the "Transitory Auxiliary Police" (PAT) were 
deployed to the ex-conflictive zones this week as part of the 
establishment of the "Special Security Regime," mandated by the 
accords prior to the functioning of the National Civil Police. A total 
of 132 PNC Academy cadets, in special uniforms and armed with 
small handguns, began patrolling six points in Chalatenango, 
Usulutan and La Union. Within 15 days, the PAT will be fully 
deployed in 33 locations and the Special Security Regime will 
officially go into effect. The cadets will rotate on a monthly basis and 
each unit will be accompanied by three ONUSAL police observers. In 
cases of contact with heavily armed criminals, National Police agents 
will be called in.

"We have been fulfilling the government's commitment according 
to the established dates," announced PNC Director Jose Maria 
Monterrey, but regretted that the PAT inauguration ceremonies 
scheduled for October 1 were suspended because of a "lack of 
communication" between the FMLN and ONUSAL.(70)

Meanwhile, Director Dr. Mario Bolanos admitted that the PNC 
Academy is facing a serious budget deficit. If promised international 
funds do not arrive by November, the institution could be forced to 
close or cut enrollment in half. A decrease in cadets would delay the 
eventual deployment of the PNC and "security would have to be 
supplemented by the National Police." To make matters worse, this 
week 200 applicants to the Academy denounced "favoritism" in the 
selection process and on October 1 a group of cadets protested the 
institution's failure to disperse scholarship checks. "They are not 
permitted to threaten and pressure Academy authorities," declared 
Bolanos, promising payment in the coming days. (71)

DIARIO DE HOY criticized the "lack of discipline" on the part of 
Academy cadets and alleged that the protesting students were 
"FMLN members who threatened to take over the institution," 
adding that "a majority of Academy students are from the FMLN 
militancy and some are professional agitators accustomed to causing 
disorder." (72) With a loan from the Casa Presidencial, the month-
overdue stipends were paid the next day after the Assembly 
approved a 1.5 million colon budget to cover PNC operating 
expenses until the end of the year. (73)
