CENTRAL AMERICA Monday, April 19, 1999 Online Edition 153 "No one likes the bearer of bad news." Antigone, line 277, Sophocles (496-406 B.C.E.) The cabal to silence Bruce Harris Probe into illegal adoptions and revelations of corruption in high places inspires spurious lawsuit against internationally known child welfare advocate. Bruce Harris(left) is being sued for defamation of character in Guatemala due to his investigation of illegal adoptions in that country. By W. E. GUTMAN GUATEMALA CITY Journalists and whistle-blowers share common traits: they are perceived as arrogant, insensitive and vexing. Their revelations are seldom appreciated, sometimes embarrassing, occasionally incriminating, always untimely and damned inconvenient. Both seek the truth, one in the interest of history, the other in the service of justice. Each is a vital cog in the vast and complex machine that energizes a democracy. They become indispensable in marginally democratic nations where the muzzling of the press reveals the repressive nature of government. Whereas the press is the unelected watchdog over those elected or self-empowered to run a country, human rights advocates are the gatekeepers of a higher moral ground upon which rests the very foundations of a free society. Being the watchdog and message-bearer to the multitude is a tall order, especially for an institution as fragile as the press. The task takes on Herculean proportions when the truth is uttered, not by a credentialed journalist, but by an eminent and respected activist. What is endured as "inauspicious rumor" by the first is branded as "seditious effrontery" when bared by the other.

USUN PRESS RELEASE # 196 (02) November 14, 2002 CHECK AGAINST DELIVERY Statement by Ambassador Richard Brown, United States Special Advisor, on the Resolution on the Situation in Central America, before the Fifty-seventh General Assembly, in Plenary, November 14, 2002 Today we are here to address an important item, namely, “The Situation in Central America: Procedures for the Establishment of a Firm and Lasting Peace and Progress in Fashioning a Region of Peace, Freedom, Democracy and Development.” The situations are different in each of the countries of the region, but all are of vital importance to the United States , as Central America is tied intimately to our country by geography, history, and most importantly – people. We have welcomed large numbers of Central Americans into the United States, and we value the productive contributions they make to our society and the ties of kinship they have forged between our nations. In the past year the nations of the region have made significant progress on a set of objectives that serves to bind them together. Economic integration is deepening, bringing with it a series of important benefits. The United States has announced its intention to embark upon free trade agreement negotiations with the region. This agreement, when concluded, will have an enormous positive impact on the region’s economic growth and development.

boes .org STOP the sexual exploitation of children! Americans arrested May 4, 1998 "The arrest of this man is one more example of what is becoming all too common here in Costa Rica, and in Central America in general" Mr K, a retired US military engineer from the Gulf war, was arrested on Friday, May 1st, 1998 by Costa Rican police, accused of the sexual abuse of a 14 year old boy. According to neighbors, the American, who has been living in the San Fransisco de Dos Rios middle class suburb of the country's capital, would continually take street children to his home where he lived alone, reportedly to first feed them and then to commit sexual abuse. Many of the children were between the ages of six and twelve. As in previous weeks, a child's screams of pain were heard from Mr K's home on late Friday and the already concerned neighbors called the police. The American retiree was arrested. The police apparently also confiscated two large bags of pornographic material, including video tapes of very young children performing sexual acts. The former military man is being held in the San Sebastian jail awaiting arraignment. -For months now we have been trying to draw the attention of the region's governments to the growing levels of sex tourism and sexual exploitation of children in Central America, but almost without exception, the issue is falling on deaf ears, explained Bruce Harris, the Executive Director for Latin American Programs of the child advocacy agency Casa Alianza, the Latin American branch of the New York based Covenant House.

Ambassador David Aaron's Business Development Mission to Central America March 21-28, 1999 MISSION STATEMENT Description of the Mission Under Secretary of International Trade, Ambassador David Aaron will lead a business development mission of 15 U.S. companies to Central America. The mission will visit Honduras, Nicaragua, Guatemala, and El Salvador. In the wake of Hurricane Mitch, significant portions of regional infrastructure, as well as major sources of foreign exchange and economic growth, have been damaged. Reconstruction needs are estimated at over $8 billion for the region. Focusing on reconstruction, the mission will strive to expand opportunities for U.S. companies in the following sectors: general infrastructure (roads and bridges; power generation/distribution; urban construction; environment; water; tourism; telecommunications; port expansion/management; emergency preparedness equipment), finance, light manufacturing, and agribusiness. Additionally, the growing interest in the regional integration of energy, transport and telecommunication will be explored. In each country, meetings will be held with senior government officials, leaders of the local business communities and members of the American Chambers of Commerce. Commercial Setting Financial Assistance Immediate efforts after Hurricane Mitch focused on recovery, but efforts are now turning to reconstruction. The U.S. Agency for International Development's Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance (USAID/OFDA) has provided $5 million to the Department of Defense (DOD) for reconstruction activities in Honduras, Nicaragua, El Salvador and Guatemala. These funds will support the purchase of reconstruction and engineering materials and supplies, including gravel for road repair. USAID/OFDA has provided an additional $4 million to DOD for continued aircraft support in Honduras, Nicaragua, Guatemala and El Salvador, which contributes to the positioning of more than 40 DOD helicopters in Central America. To date, USAID/OFDA has provided nearly $29 million in assistance to the region.

Victim Assistance in Central America: A Regional Effort The OAS facilitates victim assistance efforts by connecting the victim to appropriate medical resources. As the OAS program continues its programs in the countries of Central America, the future becomes brighter for communities in the area. by Juan Carlos Ruan, Inter-American Defense Board 1988 landmine victim Esteban Santo Hernandez bathes at the "El Cafetalon" camp for those left homeless in El Salvador by earth quakes. c/o AP Introduction Like many other regions in the world, landmines plague Central America. These landmines cause serious consequences to already impoverished peoples. Since 1991 the Organization of American States (OAS) has been assisting communities in Central America in the fight against landmines. Unfortunately, there are still victims of landmines who suffer traumatic injuries and are faced with what Col. William McDonough, Coordinator of the Assistance Program for Demining in Central America (PADCA for its initials in Spanish) of the OAS, calls a "new reality." For this reason, victim assistance is critical in order to reintegrate these victims as productive members of society. Landmine Situation In Costa Rica and Honduras, the mine-affected communities are located in remote, isolated regions near the border. Most of these mine fields have been identified and do not pose a serious threat to the national population. In Nicaragua, on the other hand, mines have been buried near populated areas, both on the border and in the interior of the country. Furthermore, mines and unexploded ordnance (UXO) can be found throughout Guatemala.
