Summary: Carlos Luis Castelli, a renowned Italian general who participated in several Latin American independence battles, presented to the government of Colombia a collection of documents to prove that the Venezuelan territorial rights had been violated. He provides a detailed account of these alleged violations which involved several areas and towns along Nueva Granada’s Venezuelan border. Additional documents include the treaties that were infringed and the lawsuits that Venezuela had filed regarding each of these violations.
Historical Notes: After Independence Gran Colombia was formed by Venezuela, Ecuador and Colombia, including what is now Panama. After several failed attempts for conciliation between centralists and federalists, Venezuela separated from Gran Colombia in March 1830 followed by Ecuador one month after.
