08MAY24- 'The US-Ecuador Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) Onramp to the Ecuador Security Sector Assistance Roadmap- "As captured in the ESSAR, the SOFA should contribute to tangible benefits for the security and stability of Ecuador. The threats faced every day by the citizens of Ecuador require strong defense and security capabilities to confront

an ever-changing environment that includes counterterrorism efforts, countering illicit trafficking, detecting illegal unreported and unregulated fishing (IUUF), and cyber defense. The SOFA will facilitate U.S. support through the provision of joint exercises, training and equipping programs, combined military operations, and other security cooperation activities.

From a public relations perspective, U.S. officials are capitalizing on opportunities to highlight the SOFA with a strategic public messaging campaign that addresses the public’s concerns, highlights mutual benefits, and underscores accountability and respect for Ecuador’s sovereignty:

Emphasize the accountability mechanisms built into the SOFA to hold U.S. personnel accountable for their actions and assure the population that transgressions will be addressed transparently and in accordance with the agreement.

Highlight the economic benefits of the SOFA, such as job creation, infrastructure development, and the increased economic activity associated with hosting U.S. personnel by underlining concrete example (Humanitarian Assistance/Equipment donations)

Encourage open dialogue between community leaders to stress the importance of the partnership to address shared security challenges and shape Ecuador’s future security.

Reiterate the commitment of the U.S. to respect the sovereignty of Ecuador and that the SOFA does not threaten but enhances Ecuador’s ability to enforce its sovereignty.

In summary, the symbiotic relationship of the SOFA and ESSAR set the pathway to achieving strategic objectives by providing the vital legal protections needed by U.S. personnel involved in the planning and execution of operations, activities, and investments. It also enhances Ecuador’s sovereignty and brings tangible benefits to the Ecuadorian economy

through increased U.S. military spending associated with ESSAR-related activities, while building a more capable force. The SOFA and ESSAR established transparent mechanisms for cooperation and represents a mutual commitment between the United States and Ecuador to strengthen security cooperation, support regional stability, and promote the rule of law to build a safer more prosperous future for all...." -
