IBWC-CILA

     · English: International Boundary and Water Commission (IBWC)

     · Spanish: Comisión Internacional de Límites y Aguas

     · “Established in 1889, the International Boundary and Water Commission (IBWC) is responsible for

       applying the boundary and water treaties between the United States and Mexico and settling

       differences that may arise in their application. The IBWC is an international body composed of the

       United States Section and the Mexican Section, each headed by an Engineer-Commissioner

       appointed by his/her respective president. Each Section is administered independently of the other.

       The United States Section of the International Boundary and Water Commission (USIBWC) is a

       federal government agency and is headquartered in El Paso, Texas. The USIBWC operates under the

       foreign policy guidance of the Department of State. The Mexican Section is under the administrative

       supervision of the Mexican Ministry of Foreign Affairs and is headquartered in Ciudad Juarez,

       Chihuahua, Mexico.”
