Presidential Determination No. 2015-10 of August 5,
2015
Continuation of U.S. Drug Interdiction Assistance
to the Government of Colombia
Memorandum for the Secretary of State [and] the
Secretary of Defense
By the authority vested in me as President by section
1012 of the National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 1995, as amended (22 U.S.C. 2291-4), I
hereby certify, with respect to Colombia, that: (1)
interdiction of aircraft reasonably suspected to be
primarily engaged in illicit drug trafficking in that
country's airspace is necessary, because of the
extraordinary threat posed by illicit drug trafficking
to the national security of that country; and (2)
Colombia has appropriate procedures in place to protect
against innocent loss of life in the air and on the
ground in connection with such interdiction, which
shall at a minimum include effective means to identify
and warn an aircraft before the use of force is
directed against the aircraft.
The Secretary of State is authorized and directed to
publish this determination in the Federal Register and
to notify the Congress of this determination.
(Presidential Sig.)
