Recognizing once again that the University has suffered from financial limitations which have impeded
the full development of the activities and programmes necessary for carrying out its important mandate,
Recognizing also the important and varied activities carried out by the University during the period 19951997, largely thanks to the financial contributions made by Canada, Costa Rica and Spain and contributions
by foundations and non-governmental organizations,
