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.”
