You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.236.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 06:21, 30 September 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Alberto Lleras Camargo''' (3 July 1906 – 4 January 1990) was [[List of Presidents of Colombia|President of Colombia]] twice (1945-1946, 1958–1962), and the 1st [[Secretary General of the Organization of American States]] (1948–1954). A journalist and [[Liberal Party of Colombia|liberal party]] politician, he also served as [[Ministry of the Interior (Colombia)|Minister of Government]], [[Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Colombia)|Minister of Foreign Affairs]], and as [[Ministry of National Education (Colombia)|Minister of National Education]] in the administrations of President [[Alfonso López Pumarejo]].<ref>((cite web|title=Alberto Lleras Camargo.

Lleras Camargo served as congressman of Colombia.<ref>((cite web|title=Alberto Lleras Camargo |url=http://web.presidencia.gov.co/asiescolombia/presidentes/57.htm |work=Así es Colombia |publisher=Presidencia de la República |access-date=27 June 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131031090158/http://web.presidencia.gov.co/asiescolombia/presidentes/57.htm |archive-date=31 October 2013 ))</ref> He was also a cousin of later president [[Carlos Lleras Restrepo]]. He died in 1990 after suffering a long illness.<ref>((cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1990/01/05/obituaries/alberto-lleras-twice-president-in-colombia-83.html|title=Alberto Lleras, Twice President In Colombia, 83|work=New York Times|date=5 January 1990))</ref>

==Early Political Career and First Presidency==

He attended the traditional [[Colegio Mayor de Nuestra Señora del Rosario]]. In 1929, he was elected deputy assemblyman on the [[Bogotá]] city council, his first entrance into politics. The following year he became Secretary of the Executive Committee of the [[Colombian Liberal Party]] and in 1931, he was elected to the [[Colombian Chamber of Representatives]]. That same year, he became the first Liberal to preside over the Chamber in more than forty years.

After [[Alfonso López Pumarejo]] was elected President of Colombia in 1934, Lleras Camargo was named Cabinet Secretary. In 1935, he became the Minister of Government, a position he occupied until the end of López Pumarejo’s presidential term in 1938. In 1938, he founded the newspaper ''El Liberal'', which promoted López Pumarejo’s re-election. In 1941, he returned to and once again presided over the Chamber of Representatives. When López Pumarejo was re-elected president in 1942, he once again named Lleras Camargo the Minister of Government. Aside from a brief interruption in 1943, when Lleras Camargo became the Colombian Ambassador to the United States, he occupied that position until 1944, when intense political instability disrupted López Pumarejo’s presidency. In July 1944, after López Pumarejo stepped down, Lleras Camargo fought off a coup attempt against [[Darío Echandía]], who had been temporarily designated as president.

In 1945, he became Minister of Foreign Relations, and in that capacity, represented Colombia at the Chapultepec Conference and the [[United Nations Conference on International Organization]] in San Francisco, which created the [[United Nations]]. But that same year, the Senate named designated him as Acting President, a position he occupied until 1946, when Conservative [[Mariano Ospina Pérez]] was elected president. At only thirty-nine years-old, he became one of the youngest Acting Presidents in Colombian history. During his short year in office, the Greater Colombian Merchant Fleet was founded and the Constitutional Reform of 1945 completed.

==Founding of the Organization of American States==

After leaving the presidency in 1946, Lleras Camargo founded the highly regarded news magazine ''[[Semana]]''. Owing to the respect and prestige he had earned as Minister of Foreign Relations and President of Colombia, he was named Director of the Pan American Union in 1947. He launched a restructuring effort, which culminated in the founding the [[Organization of American States]] in 1948. Lleras Camargo served as the first General Secretary between 1948-1949 and later completed a full five-year term between 1950 and 1954. During his second term, the organization became more consolidated as a hemispheric organization, with increased continental participation.
