Chile opposition takes Escudo de las Américas to Comptroller, alleges treaty bypassed Congress

Chilean opposition deputies filed a complaint with the Comptroller General alleging the government, led by Foreign Minister Kast, presented the Escudo de las Américas as voluntary coordination while it contains binding commitments on sovereignty, critical minerals, intelligence, and security that require congressional approval. The move escalates a domestic constitutional dispute over executive authority in treaty-making, with potential implications for Chile's international commitments and investment climate.
