Relationship context
Overview
Antarctica is governed through the Antarctic Treaty System rather than by an independent government. Colombia participates in that system and conducts Antarctic scientific research, including through national expeditions. Antarctica therefore has no government policy toward Colombia to assess.
Key developments

Colombia became a consultative party to the Antarctic Treaty.
Major uncertainties
- The scope and continuity of Colombia’s Antarctic research activity are unclear.
