Council on Hemispheric Affairs - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (317 words) |
 | The Council on Hemispheric Affairs (COHA) is a Washington-based US non-governmental organization (NGO) founded in 1975, with the goal of promoting awareness of hemispheric issues and encouraging the formulation of rational political and economic U.S. policies towards the region. |
| COHA is dedicated to monitoring Latin American affairs, especially within the context of U.S. and Canadian foreign policy and its effect on the region. |
| COHA's staff spend a great deal of time gathering information to write and publish press memoranda and articles that may later be published around the world by the international media. |

| COHA provides for the creation of a Joint Security Committee (JSC) headed by a Thai general and composed of 150 personnel, fifty each from Indonesia and GAM and fifty military personnel from Thailand and the Philippines appointed by the Henry Dunant Centre, the Geneva-based conflict-resolution organisation which brokered the COHA deal. |
| The COHA accord stipulates that an All-Inclusive Dialogue 'involving all elements of Acehnese society' shall be held, to broaden the base of the dialogue. |
| COHA is the only way forward and the quicker the TNI recognises this, the better it will be for the Acehnese, for the Indonesian people and government and indeed for the soldiers whose lives are being sacrificed in a misguided endeavour to maintain Indonesia's territorial integrity. |
