http://www.fas.org/irp/threat/terror_94/latin.html

Extractions: Office of the Coordinator for Counterterrorism, Philip C. Wilcox, Jr. Latin America continued to have a high level of international terrorist activity, although the number of attacks decreased by 40 percent from the previous year to 58 attacks. In July, an attack on the Argentine-Israeli Mutual Association (AMIA) in Buenos Aires killed nearly 100 persons and injured more than 200. The leading suspect in this incident is Hizballah. Twenty-one persons, of whom 12 were Jewish, were killed when a Panamanian commuter aircraft was bombed in July, apparently by a suicide bomber. These attacks raised concerns about the reported presence of members of Hizballah in Latin America, especially in the triborder area where Brazilian, Argentine, and Paraguayan territories meet. Colombia continued to suffer the highest incidence of terrorist violence in the region. Guerrillas attacked the democratic process by attempting to sabotage Colombia's 1994 presidential, congressional, and departmental elections. Rebel organizations also targeted petroleum companies and infiltrated trade unions, particularly in the banana and petroleum industries, intimidating rank-and-file union members. US business interests and Mormon missionaries were attacked by guerrillas, and nine US citizens were being held hostage by guerrillas at the end of the year. Six of these were US missionaries. Kidnapping continued as a major source of income for the Colombian guerrillas.

http://www.fas.org/irp/threat/terror_91/latin.html

Extractions: Patterns of Global Terrorism: 19917 Bolivia Bolivian terrorists hit power pylons belonging to a U.S.-owned power company three times in 1991, all low-level bombing incidents. Domestic terrorism, however, increased almost sevenfold. More than 40 bombing incidents occurred. Among the targets were Bolivian Government buildings near the U.S. Embassy. Five bombs detonated at the La Paz International Airport. The Nestor Paz Zamora Commission (CNPZ), part of the refurbished National Liberation Army (ELN), and several previously unknown terrorist groups claimed responsibility for a handful of the attacks, but most went unclaimed. The new groups included the Tupac Katari Guerrilla Army (EGTK) and the Tomas Katari Communal Army (ECTK). Both advocate the return of Bolivia to precolonial forms of government and indigenous Indian culture. Several significant anti-U.S. and domestic incidents occurred in 1991. On 16 February, the FPMR/D fired a light antitank weapon rocket at a U.S. Marine guard van, but it failed to detonate. Ensuing gunfire by the terrorists injured one Marine. Some domestic incidents were pegged to the release of the National Truth and National Reconciliation Commission Report (Rettig Report), which detailed human rights violations during the Pinochet regime. The FPMR/D assassinated a retired Army medical doctor and his wife the day before the release of the report. The assassination of Senator Jaime Guzman on 1 April was probably carried out by the FPMR/D, although the investigation is continuing. The MJL claimed responsibility for the murder of investigations police chief Hector Sarmiento Hidalgo in Concepcion on 15 March.

Extractions: By Institution American Film Institute British Library British Museum Cambridge University Press Columbia University London School of Economics Natural History Museum New York Public Library RAND Science Museum University of Chicago University of Michigan Museum Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Latin American Civil Society: Non-Governmental Organizations and Democracy EDITOR'S INTRODUCTION In judging the new democracies emerging in Latin America, it is important to look beyond the elected bodies, according to Douglas Chalmers (right), an expert on Latin America and a professor of political science at Columbia University. In an interview with Fathom, Chalmers discussed some ways that the proliferation of non-governmental groups might serve various needs of the new democracies in Latin America. 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.

Publications You are here: IDEA The Americas Print The Americas Overview IDEA works with major organizations to strengthen democracy in Latin America. The work includes drafting political party laws, designing funding models for political parties and electoral campaigns, and producing comparative analyses of political party systems. Latin Americans are frustrated with their democracies. Only 53 percent of the regional population is reported to support democracy, and a meagre 29 percent is said to be satisfied with how it is functioning. Political and economic reforms often fail to produce tangible improvements in the lives of ordinary citizens. The political situation is most acute in the Andean Region. Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela are all experiencing varying degrees of internal conflict and strife, with serious implications for their neighbours and for the rest of the region. Socio-political instability in Guatemala and Nicaragua makes these nations the most complex cases in Central America. Meanwhile, in the Caribbean, the Dominican Republic and Haiti face serious threats to democratic stability. On a more positive note, though, the Southern Cone appears to be emerging from the severe socioeconomic and political crises that hit it in 2002.

The Report was launched in a public ceremony at 12:00 PM featuring addresses by Secretary-General Kofi Annan, Peruvian President Alejandro Toledo, Mark Malloch Brown, Administrator of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), Elena Martinez, Director of UNDP's Regional Bureau for Latin America and the Caribbean and Dante Caputo, the former Argentine Foreign Minister and Director of UNDP's Project on Democratic Development in Latin America. "Opinion polls tell us that today only about 50 percent of Latin Americans prefer democracy to authoritarian rule," said Annan, who spoke to the Lima gathering by video. "That is very sad. More important, it is wrong. The solution to Latin America's ills does not lie in a return to authoritarianism. It lies in a stronger and deeper-rooted democracy." Written by and for Latin Americans

Extractions: The Inter-Agency Consultation on Race in Latin America (IAC), established in the year 2000, is a consultative group of international development institutions that are working to address issues of race discrimination, social exclusion, and other problems of Afro-descendant populations in Latin America. The IAC was designed to assure that participating institutions are well informed about each others' programs and plans; allow its participants to share information and analyses about the situation of Latin Americans of African descent; conduct joint activities of mutual interest; launch independent activities that reinforce and enrich the work of participating organizations; and maintain a dialogue with Afro-Latin American leaders and institutions in the region. The IAC can help these groups access opportunities to get their ideas and proposals into policy debates and in the agendas of development institutions.

Extractions: Work in Latin America By Dan Bree, Matt Pierle, and William Nolting updated November 2000 Index of links on this page: 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.

Extractions: March 2, 2004 Mr. Chairman, Members of the Committee, it is a pleasure to appear before the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations to discuss with you how USAID's Bureau for Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) is promoting the President's vision for the Western Hemisphere. The countries of the Western Hemisphere have a shared destiny by virtue of geography, history, culture, demography, and economics. As stated by Secretary Powell in September 2003, "there is no region on earth that is more important to the American people than the Western Hemisphere." A prosperous LAC region provides expanded opportunities for increased trade, and a peaceful hemisphere is paramount to our national security. USAID is fulfilling its development and humanitarian mandate in LAC countries as it continues to respond to the U.S. National Security Strategy, which, as stated by President Bush, links "the future of our Hemisphere to the strength of three commitments: democracy, security and market-based development." On balance, political stability has greatly increased over the last several decades and governments have shifted from mainly authoritarian rule to representative and constitutional democracies. Throughout the region, official human rights abuses have diminished, civil society oversight of public institutions is increasing, and elections are held under the management and supervision of professional electoral commissions. Governments are taking steps to stamp out corruption, establish mechanisms for transparency and accountability, and attract foreign investment.

http://www.religiousfreedom.com/Conference/Germany/davis.htm

Extractions: Berlin, Germany, May 29-31, 1998 I would first like to thank the International Coalition for Religious Freedom for inviting me. I think it is a great honor, and a privilege to be here among all these people from all over the world. I am really going to be talking about Religious Freedom and Human Rights in Latin America. Of course, as one who lives in that area, I think I have some sort of concern there. I will try to place the countries we refer to as Latin America, and consider the human rights agreements to which their governments consent, especially the ones that relate to religious freedom. I would then look at the issue of implementation of these agreements, or covenants, and the problems of violations. I would also consider the role of education, that is, the creation of a climate of tolerance, which is absolutely necessary to engender the pursuit of human rights and religious freedom. I will conclude with some thoughts on the political directorates will to administer justice and respect freedoms. When one discusses Latin America, one is essentially thinking about countries in South America, and its environment, which are linguistically linked to the romance languages of Spanish, Portuguese, French, and Italian. The overwhelming majority of Latin Americans are also nominally, or otherwise followers of the Roman Catholic religion. This area of the New World is served by the Organization of American States (OAS), as a regional arm of the United Nations. Yet, it must be noted that the OAS and the UN sometimes have separate agreements. These agreements may overlap, differ, or be congruent.

We were excited to join with movements of the poor and organizations committed to economic justice from throughout Latin America and the US to strategize about fighting for economic and other human rights throughout the Americas. We participated in several working groups, making the connections between growing misery, drugs and police and military repression against the poor in the US and Latin America, and developing links between the organized poor in the US and Latin America. We announced Three Days of Global Action to End Poverty from August 3-5 and invited all present to participate or to organize events in their communities to be publicized internationally. During lunch on Saturday at the conference, we spoke and showed a video highlighting the efforts of poor and homeless families across the US to organize themselves and to unite the poor of the Americas. Members of the religious community, organizations of the poor from Latin America, and representatives of a number of organizations and individuals from across the United States came up to us to share their thoughts on how important it is that the poor in the United States are getting organized and beginning to develop direct relationships with the organized poor of Latin America and the world.
