Under Secretary for Political Affairs Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs Releases Remarks, Testimony The United States and the Future of the Organization of American States Ambassador John F. Maisto, U.S. Permanent Representative to the Organization of American States Remarks to Midwest Association of Latin American Studies Webster University, St. Louis, MO November 12, 2004 Thank you for that very generous introduction. It is always a pleasure to be invited to speak in the Midwest, particularly in Saint Louis, where the Gateway Arch stands as a symbol of the courage and vision of our pioneering forebears, and of our country’s conviction that our future lies beyond the nearest horizon. The significance of our ties to the Hemispheresocial, cultural, linguistic, economic, historical, and politicalis plainly evident almost anywhere one turns in the United States. And, contrary to common assumptions, it is just as true in the "Heartland of America" as it is on both coasts. I am honored to be here. A big part of an ambassador’s job involves explaining U.S. policy. The Western Hemisphere is vital to U.S. interests and I will talk about that. But I will focus my remarks on explaining why the Organization of American States matters to us and why multilateralism is so important for pursuing our very important agenda with our hemispheric partners.

Recent Reports Support HRW About HRW Site Map III. WORKERS' FREEDOM OF ASSOCIATION UNDER INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS LAW The International Background International human rights analysts and advocates have been slow coming to grips with issues of workers' rights. Attention has focused on pressing problems of arbitrary detention and torture, massacres of indigenous peoples and ethnic minorities, atrocities of war and civil war, and other gross human rights violations, not on workers' rights to form and join trade unions and bargain collectively. For their part, worker representatives have been slow to see human rights aspects in their work. The day-to-day challenge of organizing and bargaining in complex frameworks of national labor laws leaves little time to learn from international human rights discourse. In the United States and in many other countries, union and management officials and attorneys, as well as administrators and judges, seldom turn to international law to inform their work. All that is changing under the pressures of a globalizing economy and new sensitivity to the human rights implications of workers' rights advocacy. For example, employers' organizations, trade unions and governments joined together at the International Labor Organization in 1998 to issue a landmark Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work. Their common declaration set out freedom of association and the right to organize and bargain collectively as the first such principles. At the same time, the 1998 action at the ILO was not a novelty. Freedom of association for workers has long been universally acknowledged as a fundamental right. A widely accepted body of international norms has established standards for workers' freedom of association covering the right to organize, the right to bargain collectively, and the right to strike.

Globalization By David Held and Anthony McGrew Entry for Oxford Companion to Politics David Held is Graham Wallas Professor of Political Science at the LSE; Anthony McGrew is Professor of International Relations at Southampton University. Globalization can be conceived as a process (or set of processes) which embodies a transformation in the spatial organization of social relations and transactions, expressed in transcontinental or interregional flows and networks of activity, interaction and power (see Held and McGrew, et al, 1999). It is characterized by four types of change. First, it involves a stretching of social, political and economic activities across frontiers, regions and continents. Second, it is marked by the intensification , or the growing magnitude, of interconnectedness and flows of trade, investment, finance, migration, culture, etc. Third, it can be linked to a speeding up of global interactions and processes, as the development of world-wide systems of transport and communication increases the

Ambassador Chipaziwa (left) responds to UN Watch today at the U.N. Sub-Commission on the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights. Commenting on the more than half a million people made homeless by President Robert Mugabe’s demolition campaign, Ambassador Chipaziwa said they had lived in “erstwhile slums,” where “Government detractors had plotted and carried out illegal currency trades in efforts to destroy the country’s economy.” Apparently referring to the NGOs, he added that Zimbabwe “does not deserve the ugly attention which her detractors try to conjure up,” and would “never yield to their evil designs.” (Full text:
