The article focuses on political and social conditions of various countries. The U. N. Commission for Human Rights was recently presented with a lengthy dossier on Colombia which deserves greater public attention that it has so far received. President Rojas Pinillas has declared vast regions of the country to be "zones of military operations," in these zones, contrary to the Colombian penal law, military tribunals have been established to deal with charges of subversion not only against military personnel, but against civilians. Despite the hundreds of millions of dollars the U.S. has poured into Greece, most objective observers agree that the Communist Party is showing surprising strength as the day approaches for the Greek national elections.
