LATIN AMERICA
Chile has declined further US FY 1977 economic aid. While it
is not certain that the move was in direct response to the
State Department '�nnouncement on 28 June that two agricultural
loans for Chile included in the FY 1977 A.I.D. appropriation
would be deferred for up to sixty days pending developments in
the Chilean human rights situation, it is clear that it reflects
Chile's negative reaction to US pressures on human rights in
general. Last fan, Santiago renounced US economic aid after
FY 1977, in reaction to a cut off by Congress of US military
assistance.
Argentine officials recently announced a number of measures
designed to improve that country's human rights image. The
measures include some prisoner releases, the expediting of
trials, and the banning of two issues of a far right, racist
magazine. The moves are more cosmetic than substantive, but
the decision to publicize them reflects the government's
increasing sensitivity to the potential implications of the US
stand on human rights, particularly in regard to US voting in
international financial institutions.
