    Extractions: 8. JOB DESCRIPTION (TO INCLUDE EDUCATION, TRAINING, AND EXPERIENCE REQUIRED FOR POSITION): REGIONAL INFORMATION OFFICER for LATIN AMERICA and the CARIBBEAN (LAC) in SAN JOSE, COSTA RICA Latin America and the Caribbean are extremely vulnerable to both natural and technological disasters which have worsened in recent years due to population pressures, urbanization, and extreme climatic events. However, LAC's capacity to manage disasters has grown substantially in recent years and Latin American and Caribbean nations are now generally capable of managing disasters up to moderate severity without external assistance. In major events, however, most nations of the region face a serious risk of having their overall coping capacities overwhelmed by disaster response requirements. OFDA's strategy seeks to reduce the demand for disaster relief, chiefly by increased preparedness and mitigation activities at the community level, and by strengthening governments' capacity to meet immediate post-disaster needs so as to prevent deterioration in the situation of disaster victims.

    Extractions: Regional Tax Programme for Central and Latin America Regional Tax Programme for Central and Latin America The rapid expansion of tax treaty networks presents Ministries of Finance and Tax Administrations in these countries with major questions of interpretation and application of international tax principles. The risks of misunderstandings and conflicts are self-evident, both between countries and regional groups. Staff dealing with international taxation issues must be familiarised with the structure and the significance of tax treaties. More in depth experience in international tax matters, especially the Commentary to the Model Convention, the transfer pricing guidelines and the procedures for international exchange of information, is essential. This programme is carried out in co-operation with the Inter-American Centre of Tax Administrations (CIAT), the Inter-American Development Bank and Member countries.

On December 3, US Secretary of State Colin Powell travelled to Colombia to announce that the Bush administration had requested $537 million from Congress in 2003 for Plan Colombia. The total spent on aid to Colombia comes to over $2.3 billion since 2000, making the Latin American country the third largest recipient of US military assistance in the world. More than $130 million is to be used to send dozens of Special Operations forces to train two Colombian army brigades protecting the Cano-Limon pipeline. In a clear sign that the US forces are being prepared for direct military involvement, Powell pressed the Colombian government to formally exempt all American forces serving in Colombia from future war crimes prosecution at the International Criminal Court.
