Central America Texaco’s Ecological Terrorism of the Ecuadorian Amazon Making the area safe for oil extraction By Suzanne Simon F rom 1972 until 1992, the U.S.-based Texaco Corporation spearheaded oil production activities in the Ecuadorian Amazon. They guided exploration activities, built roads and a trans-Ecuadorian pipeline, which runs from the oil town of Lago Agrio to the port city of Esmeraldas. These two decades of oil extraction and production have resulted in levels of environmental contamination and destruction which are shocking even to a generation accustomed to hearing about the acts of atrocity and imperialism committed by US and multinational corporations throughout the world. After exploiting the majority of Ecuador’s oil reserves, Texaco intentionally left behind an environment contaminated by over three hundred unlined oil pits, which are full of toxic and carcinogenic wastes. These pits—and the commonplace occurrence of oil spills—were led to contaminate rivers, streams, and ground water. They also left an entire population ridden with chronic and acute illnesses, including cancer, in a population where it was previously nonexistent, and children born with genetic deformities. For all of this, Texaco has refused to claim any responsibility. The Ecuadorian Amazon T he Ecuadorian Amazon is a sparsely populated region that comprises roughly half of all Ecuadorian territory. The people who live there are almost entirely indigenous and colonos

Eschewing their status as colonies of European countries Works of the visual and other arts are produced throughout Central America in the twentieth century, oftentimes despite conditions that are not conducive to cultural production. In many cases, the works embody trenchant critiques of current social, political, and economic conditions. Books, films, and paintings help to bring international awareness of the deplorable conditions under which many Central Americans live. Perhaps the best-known socially engaged art the region produces in the twentieth century is that of the Mexican muralists beginning in the 1920s. Through their travel, artmaking, and teaching in the United States, the Mexican muralists exert an important influence on younger painters in the U.S. In many instances, the visual arts respond to both indigenous traditions and Western European movements.

Jeffries The great challenges faced by the region are compounded by the recently signed Central America Free Trade Agreement with the United States, which is expected to benefit large businesses but to negatively affect local producers, and to further deteriorate the region's ecosystem. General living conditions continue to decline, with growing hunger crises in rural areas. Increasing human rights violations in El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras are reflected in raids on civil society organizations, police abuses, labor rights violations and legislated discrimination based on appearance. LWF/DWS has reaffirmed its commitment to support the people of Central America in their struggle to achieve reconciliation, justice and the consolidation of democracy in the entire region. A holistic approach encompasses the integrated dimensions of sustainable development.

Press Release OBV/230 PI/1371 OBSERVANCE OF INTERNATIONAL DAY OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLE AT HEADQUARTERS TODAY The Permanent Forum and the Draft Declaration Two central objectives of the International Decade are: The establishment of a permanent forum for indigenous people, as called for by the 1993 Vienna World Conference on Human Rights, and The adoption of the draft declaration on the rights of indigenous people. The Economic and Social Council, on 28 July 2000, adopted a resolution to establish the Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues.  This past July, the Council decided that the new Permanent Forum is to meet for the first time from 6 to 17 May 2002 at United Nations Headquarters in New York.  The draft Declaration, which was approved by the Sub-Commission in 1994, is now under consideration by a working group established by the Human Rights Commission.  In addition to restating the basic protections of the Universal Declaration on Human Rights, the draft Declaration would protect specific rights as applicable to indigenous people, such as freedom of religious practices, customs, ceremonies, freedom of access to their property and sacred places; land rights and environment; language and oral traditions; self determination and participation in decision-making; and access to education in their own language.  It would prohibit relocation and imposed assimilation or integration, and it states that treaties between indigenous people and Governments should be honoured and that indigenous people are entitled to restitution for losses imposed on them.

We want to give special recognition and honour to our Korean brother, Mr. Lee-Kyung-Hae for his sacrifice carried out here in Cancun.  His act of self-immolation was an expression of cultural dignity which deeply reflects the daily reality of campesinos, peasants and the Indigenous peoples throughout the world, and the results of globalization and the free market.  We have come to Cancun to direct ourselves to the critical themes and the negative impacts of the WTO on our families, communities and nations.

NOBEL PEACE LAUREATE RIGOBERTA MENCHU TUM A PLEA FOR GLOBAL EDUCATION Transcript of the Global Vision video interview produced, directed (and translated from the original Spanish) by Michael O'Callaghan BACKGROUND After fleeing the violence of her native country, she became an eloquent defender of indigenous peoples and other victims of government oppression around the world. She left Guatemala after her father, her mother and a brother were killed by its Government soldiers. Her 16-year-old brother Petrocinio was kidnapped, tortured and burned alive in 1979. When her mother demanded an explanation, Government soldiers abducted her mother, raped her repeatedly, cut off her ears, tortured and mutilated her, and left her to be consumed by maggots, vultures, and dogs. Her father was killed when the Spanish Embassy in Guatemala City, in which he and other leaders of the country's main peasant opposition group had protested human rights violations, was set on fire.
