U.S. Military Training for Latin America Volume 2, Number 48 October 1997 by Robert Brophy and Peter Zirnite Editors: Tom Barry (IRC) and Martha Honey (IPS) 48ifmili.pdf Key Points In the post-cold war era, U.S. policy in Latin America continues to be driven by the belief that Latin America's militaries are our most capable and reliable allies. U.S.-funded training programs strengthen military-to-military tiesa process that historically has undermined civilian institutions and fueled human rights abuses throughout Latin America. The long-standing Pentagon claim that it is not responsible for a few bad apples who receive U.S. training was belied last year by the declassification of torture manuals used at the School of the Americas and for training elsewhere in Latin America. During the course of the cold war, U.S. policy toward Latin America was shaped by the steadfast belief that the region's militaries were our strongest and most dependable allies. The collapse of the Soviet bloc has brought little change. Though U.S. policymakers now perceive drug traffickers, not communist insurgents, as the greatest regional threat, they remain driven by the belief that the best way to achieve their goals is to strengthen military-to-military ties. Military training programs continue to offer Washington the most direct route for expanding U.S. engagement with Latin American forces.

Home CAROLA mission statement Portuguese Spanish CAROLA Center for the Advancement of the Rule of Law in the Americas Georgetown University Law Center Why CAROLA?  Ever since 1549, when the first Jesuit priests voyaged to the New World, the Society of Jesus has played an active role in Latin America. This has been especially true in the field of education, where Jesuits have created a constructive process of humanistic education that has featured an international focus. Hence, it is only natural that the Georgetown University Law Center, the oldest Jesuit university in the United States, should identify with this tradition. The newly renamed Center for the Advancement of the Rule of Law in the Americas (CAROLA) will seek to do that by promoting a better understanding of the region's laws and legal systems, as well as enhancing efforts on the part of Latin Americans to use the rule of law to help achieve economic development and social justice.  With its location in Washington, strong faculty and diverse student body, as well as with the upcoming completion of a new building dedicated to its international and comparative law programs, the Law Center stands poised to put together a top-quality program focusing specifically on issues relating to the quality and administration of justice in Latin America. A dedicated corps of alumni/ae working in both the public and private sectors throughout the hemisphere will serve as an additional resource for this initiative.

Environmental History (Made) in Latin America Guillermo Castro Herrera I In the course of one generation, Latin America has deeply changed in its realities as well as in the dominant perceptions about its own future, going from an exulted optimism about its possibilities for social and economic progress to a dark mood of pessimism and uncertainty. Today, many different sources coincide in considering that what started in 1982 as a simple economic crisis has become a virtual crisis of civilization, which synthesizes our societies' difficulties in successfully facing the new challenges derived from the ongoing transformations of the world as we once knew it. For our societies, the main issue at stake in this situation is the persisting combination of economic growth (although mediocre most of the time) with social deterioration and environmental degradation, in a context of exacerbation of what may be called a "plundering economy", whose roots go at least to the 16 th century. Particularly, it can be said that the problems affecting the region are the consequence of the ways our societies have been organized to fulfill some specific functions within the really existing international system for the last one hundred and fifty years, at least. This kind of situation should be the most adequate for the development of a Latin American environmental history, conceived in the most essential as a discipline dealing with the transformations produced in the natural world by humans, through socially organized work, and with the impact of those transformations in human development. The fact is, however, that it has not been so, and that scarcity more than plenty is the problem to be faced here.

Events and News from Tucson's Progressive Communuity. Home October 27, 2003 Columbia: Marino Cordoba Speaks in Tucson Marino Cordoba is speaking at Southside Presbyterian on Thursday, Oct. 30 at 7pm (see the Calendar for more info). Here is a biography that I found that describes his background. Biography of Marino Cordoba In 1996, Marino Cordoba, a well-known community advocate and national Afro-American leader from Colombia, was forcibly displaced from his home as a result of illegal paramilitary actions against the civilian populations in Choco. Early in his life, Mr. Cordoba distinguished himself as a dedicated leader and representative of his community, peasants and small farmers of the many communities of African heritage that people the Pacific region of the country. Within the widespread violence of raids and massacres, he was specifically targeted and threatened as an important outspoken leader, as President of the Small Farmers Organization of the Lower Atrato Ocaba Region, and as leader and Special Advisor to the Council of Black Organizations. Having pursued studies in Public Administration, focused on Social Management and Community Development, he had also played a prominent role in the Constitutional Assembly of 1991, successfully advocating for recognition of traditional identity and land rights for Colombian Afro-Americans. At the time of the intensified violence he was working as the Elected Representative of the African Colombian Communities on the Executive Council of the statewide Development Council of Choco (CodeChoco) and as a member of the Peace Council and Mediator in Alternative Dispute Resolution in the municipality of Riosucio. As has been the case for 3 million Colombians in the recent history of the decades-long conflict, he was forced to flee for his life, together with his family and with those neighbors from the area of Riosucio who had not yet been killed.

AIDS Education Challenges Ahead for Latin America and the Caribbean By Annabel Boissonnade-Fotheringham, for the Chronicle Print Home In This Issue Archive Français ... Links Article The growing HIV/AIDS crisis is silently reaching alarming proportions in Latin America and the Caribbean, affecting almost 2 million lives. In June 2003, during the follow-up meeting to the 2001 UN Special Session on HIV/AIDS, the General Assembly called for immediate action from countries in the region and the international community to curb the crisis. Although the highest rate of HIV transmission occurs in sub-Saharan Africa, the Latin America and the Caribbean region has become a source of major concern because of its own almost unnoticed but fast-growing HIV-infected population. The United Nations and other leaders in health and development expressed deep concern about the "relentless growth" of HIV/AIDS in the region. Media coverage of dramatic figures of HIV-infection in Africa has overshadowed the growing AIDS crisis in other continents. Executive Director Peter Piot of the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) warned in 2000 that "the recognition that Latin America is facing a growing AIDS crisis is just not there, except in the case of Brazil". His statement did not raise enough alarm bells to stir serious prevention programmes into action. If, according to Mr. Piot, "the response (was) absolutely insufficient" three years ago, figures in July 2003 show that Latin America's status has not improved; in fact, it has worsened.
