<div id="ygrps-yiv-1679635606">following upon the initial reports by doug in message 857<br/>
about this the closest tricountry point to canada & the usa<br/>
some new bzgtmx leavenings & monumental gleanings<br/>
are in the latest bzgt diplomatic news<br/>
which have been low key but promising<br/>
<br/>
first a pretty good executive summary at<br/>
<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://asil.org/insigh59.htm">http://asil.org/insigh59.htm</a><br/>
with scads of legal latin sprinkled in<br/>
but including a first known mention of an actual bzgtmx monument<br/>
 the so called  mark of reference in aguas turbias<br/>
<br/>
additional mentions of it & other interesting stuff about the upcoming<br/>
documentary presentations & negotiations scheduled for next month etc<br/>
all under a looming negotiating deadline set for august<br/>
are given especially from the belizean point of view at<br/>

including the news that the monument is of concrete<br/>
& was erected by a joint gbgt commission in 1931 or 1933 along with at<br/>
least a couple of mates<br/>
pursuant to but long after the delimitation treaty of 1859<br/>
which however was & were soon voided by guatemala in 1940<br/>
but the markers for which nevertheless the 2 bzgt countries have now agreed<br/>
to work together to relocate & reidentify & remap<br/>
<br/>
& they seem pretty intent at this point<br/>
<br/>
so conditions for a visit could be rapidly improving<br/>
