Wire Human Development Report 2002 The new report, Secretary General Kofi Annan called the decline of support for democracies in the region "very sad" in a message delivered by video at a news conference launching the report in Lima last week. Democracy in Latin America Arab Human Development Report was a pioneering accomplishment in this process, involving leading Arab thinkers in framing a very incisive picture of deficits to development in the Arab world. Arab Human Development Reports (two have now been published) Americans could learn a lot not only about Iraq but also its neighborhood, where there are not many examples of places where civil rights, democratic practices, cosmopolitan education systems or the public role of women flourish. Millennium Development Goals There are lessons in the faltering of support for democracy in Latin America even for the United States, now enmeshed in a singularly partisan political atmosphere as a national election approaches and anger over the bitter experience of Florida in 2000 still preoccupies and clouds the minds of many voters.

Books INTRODUCTION Working in Latin America can take the form of volunteer work, internships (paid or unpaid), or paid employment. What follows is a brief and incomplete survey of these options and selected leads for finding human, online and hardcopy resources to facilitate your work search. The sooner you start, the more information you will be able to collect. VOLUNTEER WORK Ironically enough, volunteer work is often the most lucrative of the three options for working abroad because benefits including housing, food and travel may be at least partially covered by the hosting organization. Occasionally, as with the Peace Corps or certain religious organizations sending volunteers overseas, a "readjustment" payment may be given at the completion of the "tour of service". The Peace Corps payment after two years of service for instance is about $5,400. Active Peace Corps status also allows deferment or possible forgivance of certain student loans. Many a volunteer has worked in Latin America during the duration of a tourist visa in a particular country (often moving on to another volunteer position in another country when the first has expired). This is one manner in which extended travel can be made more affordable, focused and meaningful.

Visas are not required for short-term tourist travel in Latin America, though you will need a valid passport. Be prepared to pay anywhere from $5 to almost $50 for country entry and exit fees. Concentrate your travels in one region to help keep your costs under control: Mexico and Central America can be explored together by car or bus, or consider hitting a few Caribbean islands. Choosing all of South America can be expensive since flights between S. American cities are expensive.

Declaration of the Ministers at their eighth meeting in Miami, November 20, 2003. Just because our government should look out for America’s interests first does not mean that, as Americans, we should be indifferent to the plight of the less fortunate in other nations. However, there’s the right kind of help and the wrong kind of help. There’s win-win and lose-lose. Unfortunately, government programs often provide the wrong kind of help. To see how our Latin American neighbors can truly prosper, let’s consider the source of our own prosperity. Why is it that in America, in just three generations, man managed to outstrip the world's total progress for six thousand years? How was it possible that our republic, with less than seven per cent of the earth's population, was able to create more wealth than all the other billions of people in the world?

Features service articles Unemployment - an enormous challenge for Latin America and the Caribbean A new ILO report paints a grim picture of unemployment in Latin America and the Caribbean. With 19 million jobless workers in Latin America's cities and unemployment hovering at above 10 per cent, the ILO says any recovery will require strong measures - including a reorientation of economic priorities and a more equitable globalization process. SANTIAGO, Chile (ILO Online) - Despite a modest economic recovery over the past year, persistently high unemployment continues to weigh heavily on Latin American and Caribbean economies, the ILO says in the latest edition of Panorama Laboral , its annual employment review for the region. The report says the high level of unemployment, coupled with poor quality jobs, falling real wages and losses in productivity pose a challenge to the region of making the creation of decent work the central pillar of development. "The current model of globalization actually devalues work," says Juan Somavia, Director-General of the ILO, "with all the consequences for individuals, families and societies."

Patterns of Global Terrorism: 1990 Latin America Overview Latin American Regional Overview The number of international terrorist incidents in Latin America rose to 162 in 1990, higher than any other region. Even so, these figures represent only a small percentage of the total number of terrorist acts committed in Central and South America. In most Latin American countries, the primary targets of guerrillas, narcotics traffickers, and others who engage in terrorism have been domestic government and law enforcement officials, opinionmakers, and politicians. This was especially true in Colombia, Peru, and El Salvador where the levels of violence have been extremely high. In Peru, for example, of the more than 3,400 terrorist-related deaths in 1990, only six were of foreigners. Roughly two-thirds of all anti-U.S. attacks worldwide took place in Latin America, where U.S. citizens and interests were the principal foreign targets of terrorist groups. Various groups have been operating for years in Central and South America and share a radical leftist ideology that, combined with a visible U.S. presence in the region and historical antipathy toward the United States, contributes to the large number of attacks against Americans. Two Americans were killed in 1990 one in Peru and one in Panama and 31 were wounded. Chile was the most common site of anti-American attacks in Latin America. The number of anti-U.S. attacks there increased from 21 in 1989 to 61 in 1990. Most of these were bombings of Mormon Church facilities in Santiago and other parts of the country.
