Latin American Civil Society:
Non-Governmental Organizations and Democracy
By Douglas Chalmers
Columbia University
Douglas Chalmers:
We often think in looking at new democracies in Latin America that what's necessary is to set up an election and get the Congress running. In a country like Mexico, that's very important, but it's really not enough. You have to look at nonelected bodies, as they may be called, at various kinds of organizations and practices that really regulate and that organize all the other kinds of activities that are going on beyond the election itself. The elections are very brief. They only register votes. They're extremely important, but they only register the will of the people or the interests of the people at one timein the Mexican case, once every six years. Fathom: So it is not enough just to look at how the elected body is functioning? Chalmers: There are demands constantly emerging throughout the system. The Congress itself, of course, is there all the time in order to respond to these demands. And that's very important and necessary, and much better than a military regime or an authoritarian regime. But it may be 300, 400 people who are there whose skills probably relate mostly to being effective politicians in a local town or something of the sort. In order to understand how policies relating to social security, to welfare, to international trade, to all the kinds of things that a modern government must deal with, you have to see and understand how all these other demands are processed, and it requires a much richer and much greater variety of organizations and structures. And if those aren't working, then the democracy doesn't work. If the Congress is running nicely and the elections are held, but the Congress is not paying attention to all the diverse interests that are in the society, then it's not democraticeven though it may look like it is, formally.

Crime: A Latin American Challenge for Human Rights Carlos Basombrío
Crime and street violence, while prevalent in most parts of the world, have become an extreme and intractable problem in Latin America. The issue of crime presents human rights advocates with challenges that must be resolved if we are to build legitimacy for human rights principles. Latin America is arguably the most violent region of the globe. The rates of murder in El Salvador are among the world’s highest. In the Colombian city of Medellín an average of 30,000 people are murdered every year. Robbers, kidnappers, youth gangs, and drug traffickers terrorize many cities. In Guatemala and Jamaica, for example, crime has reached such levels that many see it as the major social problem, more pressing than poverty or inequality. Citizens’ security throughout the region is becoming more and more precarious. Even in Bolivia and Chile, which are among the countries of the region with the lowest rates of criminality, citizens sense increasing danger. There is a general consensus among sociologists and criminologists regarding the causes of crime in our region. These factors include rapid, large-scale urbanization that is incapable of sustaining basic services; extreme inequalities between rich and poor; a culture of violence carved from many years of internal wars; poverty, exclusion, and lack of opportunity for young people; police abuse, corruption, and inefficacy; and the unimpeded availability of guns, drugs, and alcohol, including an overwhelming presence in many cities of small-scale drug trafficking. While crime has multiple causes, it has no easy solutions. Complementary strategies are required to address it. Yet, the policy solutions implemented by governments are usually limited to repression, increased penalties, and the building of new prisons.

Equitable Trade and Central America: Does CAFTA Measure Up?
June 25, 2003
President George W. Bush and the presidents of Central America assert that a Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA) will bring prosperity to the impoverished isthmus. As organizations that have followed Central America through its history of civil wars, reconstruction, and a succession of natural disasters, we share a strong hope for equitable and sustainable development in the region. In this spirit, we raise serious concerns related to the negotiation of CAFTA and make suggestions to improve the trade agreement. The evidence of NAFTA demonstrates that any agreement crafted along the lines of that accord would have potentially adverse environmental, economic and human consequences for many people in the United States and Central America.
Democratic Participation and Transparency
The trade text being negotiated has never been made available to the public, unlike two drafts of the Free Trade of the Americas Agreement, which were published on the official FTAA website in July 2001 and November 2002. As the established date for finalizing the text of CAFTA approaches, there is no established process for civil-society input in Central America. Meaningful public participation cannot take place when those whose lives and livelihoods that will be directly affected have no access whatsoever to the substance of negotiations.
Some strides were made in civil-society participation in post-Hurricane Mitch reconstruction efforts and in the elaboration of the Poverty Reduction Strategies in Nicaragua and Honduras. The current CAFTA negotiations represent a step backwards as they are taking place with a limited and selected sector of civil society groups, largely the business sector.

BACK TO MAIN ONLINE BOOKSTORE HOW TO ORDER Latin America: Empowering civil society Porto Alegre, Brazil, 31 Jan 2002 (IPS/Gustavo Gonzalez) - Grassroots activists and members of civil society must be empowered to assert their economic, social and cultural rights in the context of a globalized world, say many of the Latin American organisations participating in the second World Social Forum in this southern Brazilian city through 5 February. Latin America, and particularly host-country Brazil, is playing a leading role in this second annual gathering of independent and non-governmental entities, an event born in January 2001 as a counterweight to the World Economic Forum, a yearly meeting in which the world’s most powerful politicians and business executives set the world economic agenda. At the first World Social Forum, 18,000 people from 117 countries participated, including delegates from non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and participants in the Youth Camp and the Indigenous Nations Camp. This year, more than 50,000 people are converging on Porto Alegre, convened under the motto, “another world is possible.”

"YOU CAN CALL ME DAWN," the voice at the other end of the line said. "I am contacting you because there is a woman enslaved in the apartment across the hall from my mother." Not your everyday phone call, even at the American Anti-Slavery Group. Founded in 1993 to monitor contemporary slavery worldwide, the organization I work for focuses primarily on chattel slavery in North Africa. We publicize the plight of enslaved African women and children, bought and sold like cattle in countries such as Sudan and Mauritania. Advocates for silenced victims in distant countries, we work to make their cases immediate to the international community. But suddenly slavery itself was immediate. Dawn's mother lived just minutes from our offices in Boston. Dawn explained that a couple from Saudi Arabia with a young son moved in across the hall from her mother. A Thai woman who speaks no English lived with them. "When the couple leave for work, she runs across the hall to my mother's, crying. We can't understand her, but she appears to be the boy's nannyand she shows signs of physical abuse."

CONTENTS U.S. Human Rights Policy: Sculpted by Layers of Constraints Instruments to Promote Human Rights: What Works Best? Forging Successful Human Rights Policy USIP Library Resources ... About the Report SPECIAL REPORT 65 U.S. Human Rights Policy toward Latin America Briefly...
  • U.S. human rights policy toward Latin America has been constrained by six factors: the dynamics of international relations, domestic political considerations and the policy process, the intensity of U.S. attention to the region, the definition adopted for human rights, and local developments in the target country.
    These limitations notwithstanding, the impact of U.S. human rights policy toward Latin America has been significant. U.S. power and influence in the region have given its policy stance special weight, and U.S. pressure has at times been the key to success of other human rights advocates, such as non-governmental organizations, whether or not that was the intended outcome.
    The United States has employed a wide array of instrumentsincluding sanctions, rhetorical pressure, and quiet diplomacyto pursue its human rights policies in Latin America. There is no single set of tools that works best to promote human Rights. However, any instrument is likely to have a greater impact when it is consistent over time and with other policies and actions, grounded on bipartisanship and domestic and international consensus, and context-sensitive, carefully tailored to meet the circumstances at hand.

Why I Vote For King As Person of the Century
The editors of Time Magazine will pick a Person of the Century to grace their cover in January 2000. Martin Luther King, Jr. is in the running for the top honor along with Hitler, Einstein, Elvis, Churchill and Gandhi, but just barely. The reason for this is that the editors of Time probably swallow one of the huge myths of history. They, like much of the public, narrowly label King a black leader, a civil rights leader, or say that he simply imitated Gandhi. When he formed the Southern Christian Leadership Conference in 1957, King staked out the moral high ground for the infant modern day civil rights movement. It was classic good versus evil. Many white Americans were sickened by the gory news scenes of baton welding racist Southern sheriffs, firehoses, police dogs, and Klan violence unleashed against peaceful black protesters. King made it possible, even obligatory, for millions of persons throughout the world to condemn racial segregation as immoral and indefensible. The civil rights movement spurred students and workers in Asia, Africa, and Latin America to oppose the military strongmen, dictators and demagogues in their countries. He inspired liberation priests in Latin America, and student demonstrators in Europe. He deeply influenced the struggle against Apartheid in South Africa. Nelson Mandela has repeatedly said that he owes a profound debt of gratitude to King.

JUSTICE, HUMAN RIGHTS, AND DEVELOPMENT IN LATIN AMERICA Course Descriptions
  • HUMAN DEVELOPMENT AND POVERTY IN CENTRAL AMERICA This course aims to provide students with in-depth knowledge on the development process of Central America, as well as with analytical tools for a better understanding of the social, economic, political, and ecological reality of the region. Emphasis will be given to the sustainability of human development. To that end, the multidimensionality of development will be thoroughly analyzed. The discussion of topics such as human development, cultural diversity, social policy, and poverty is included in the course. In addition, the relationship between vulnerability, poverty and natural disasters, as well as the phenomena of exclusion/inclusion of ethnic minorities and migrants are analyzed.
  • JUSTICE, GENDER , AND THE CHALLENGES OF DEVELOPMENT Development must be looked at within the context of a major set of problems which, despite differences in scope and magnitude, are similar in most of the developing world. Worldwide, gender inequality finds expression in the lack of opportunities and support for women to carry out the kind of life they have good reasons to value. Gender inequality is one, among many other issues, that needs to be addressed in understanding development and underdevelopment.

The U.S. has been populated by immigrants coming from Europe, Asia, Africa and Latin America. Some of them have remained apart and preserved their identity as "minorities" belonging to all the races of mankind, to every nationality group and every religious faith, have been denied equality of opportunity. Their separate identity as racial minorities, the disabled, homosexuals or women, has left them open to discriminatory action in the fields of housing, education and employment. The Hispanic Americans tried to achieve increased voter registration and access to educational opportunities through organizations such as the Mexican-American Legal Defense and Education Fund, the United Farm Workers Union, La Raza Unida and the League of United Latin American citizens. Through the American Indian Movement (AIM), the Native Americans sought to recover their heritage and raise their voice after years of neglect and discrimination. Civil disobedience was used as a weapon by them, to highlight issues of land claims, as for example through the takeover of Alcatraz Island in 1969 and the occupation of Wounded Knee, South Dakota. They were also concerned about overcoming stereotypes about themselves.
