WASHINGTON - The League of United Latin American Citizens, the Central American Resource Center, the Labor Council for Latin American Advancement and the Salvadoran American National Network announced Feb. 8 their opposition to the Central American Free Trade Agreement, calling it "exclusionary" and "racist" to Hispanics and Central American natives. Congressional hearings on the pact, which President Bush signed May 28, 2004, are planned for April. The groups charged that the principal framers of the pact neglected the social and human needs of the countries involved in the pact, including Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua. The treaty shows no concern for the negative effects the accord would have on farmers and workers, they said, stating also that it failed to deal with child labor issues. Overall, the agreement would exacerbate problems caused by mass migration of jobless workers to the United States, they contend.

Americas Social Forum Discusses Latin American Integration
Venezuelanalysis.com

July 29, 2004
By: Robin Nieto - Venezuelanalysis.com Quito, July 28, 2004.- Heinz Dieterich, political science professor at the Autonomous Metropolitan University of Mexico, and leaders from social movements in Ecuador, Venezuela and Mexico engaged a packed room at the Catholic University in Quito, Ecuador today, where they proposed ideas towards the integration of Latin American countries, referring to the idea of a "regional block of power." The event took place at the Americas Social Forum (ASF), in Quito, where from July 25-30 activists from all of the Americas are gathering to criticize and discuss alternatives to "neo-liberal globalization." The ASF is part of the World Social Forum (WSF), which was initiated in 2001 and has become the world's largest venue for NGOs and individuals who are critical of the current state of the world. During the forum on Latin American integration, Dieterich said that the unification of Latin American countries is the biggest threat to the United States. "We are building a regional block of power, the great country of Simon Bolivar," referring to the leader who fought for and achieved the independence of five Latin American countries. Dieterich added that the question is no longer national but regional. He also took swipes at Ignacio Ramonet, the editor of Le Monde Diplomatique and one of the World Social Forum's key supporters, who criticized social movements for not having any alternative to globalization. "Hasn't Ramonet heard of the union of the south of President Hugo Chavez? Hasn't he heard of ALBA, the Bolivarian Alternative for Latin America?" Dieterich concluded that as long as Latin American countries are united, resistance to the United States will be successful.

http://www.columbia.edu/cu/fia/History/
Fraternal History The roots of Phi Iota Alpha were implanted at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), Troy, NY in 1898. A group of Latin American students organized the Union Hispano Americana as a cultural and intellectual secret society based on the ideology of Pan-Americanism. The immediate goals of the UHA were to provide a cultural environment for students of Latin America and Spain. The UHA was the first association of Latin American students ever founded in the United States. The ideals and operations of the UHA expanded to several colleges and universities in the United States. However, due to the secrecy imposed upon its members, not many records were kept. The expansion and growth of the UHA was based on compromise and the ultimate need of similar organizations to unify and become more powerful. In the northeastern part of the United States, a group of Latin American students decided to organize a cultural and intellectual fraternity, consequently, Pi Delta Phi fraternity was founded at Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1916. Shortly after its foundation, Pi Delta Phi initiated a search to expand to other colleges and universities when they realized the existence of other similar organizations. Pi Delta Phi also initiated a search throughout other American universities for other fraternities with similar goals. First, Pi Delta Phi established communication with Phi Lambda Alpha Fraternity, which had been recently founded in 1919 at the University of Southern California, Berkeley. After some communication, these two organizations realized the existence of the strong non-Greek letter secret society of Union Hispano Americana, and as a result of intensive correspondence and various interviews, the three organizations merged. In their merger agreement, the three organizations adopted the name of Phi Lambda Alpha Fraternity, with the distinctive emblem of Pi Delta Phi and the constitution, goals, and motto of the UHA. This new union was formalized in June 1921, in the city of New York.

CIRCLE in Latin America Spanish Portuguese Regions: Africa Asia Child Labor and Education in Latin America Data gathered by the International Labor Organization (ILO) in 2002 show that over 17 million children between five and fourteen years are economically active in Latin America and the Caribbean. This is the third region in the world with the largest number of child workers. According to ILO Convention No. 182, the worst forms of child labor include: trafficking; forced and bonded labor; armed conflict; prostitution and pornography; and, illicit activities. Latin American and the Caribbean have the highest incidents of children engaged in trafficking, prostitution and pornography. The majority of children either work cultivating and/or harvesting such crops as sugar cane, coffee, banana, sisal, tobacco, oranges, and many other fruits and vegetables. Children can be found in the informal sector working in the street and in households. Most children performing household shores, mainly girls between 8 and 12 years old, are not paid for their service. Millions of girls work in their own homes so that their mothers can go to work. The income earned by the children is significant to the family unit. According to UNESCO, one in every three Latin Americans lives in extreme poverty. It can be argued that the low level of education in the region may be related to the prevalence of child labor.

Backgrounder #1794 America's election cycle provides a regular opportunity to review national policies, including U.S. relations with Latin America. Of particular interest to candidates and campaigns is how Hispanicsnow the largest minority in the United States at 13 percent of the populationwill vote. Their numbers have doubled since the 1980s, and many are first-generation immigrants who fled conflict and poverty back home. In the national campaigns, proposals are divided between helping the region through free trade and helping through more development aid. Candidates want votes, but what is really in America's best interest? Although Latin America is less stable and secure than it was 10 years ago and half of the people live in poverty, the region is rich in resources and human capital. Most leaders are now democratically elected. However, at the core, many Latin American societies are not well organized to take advantage of their potentials. Free trade is not a stabilizer without open markets, and more development aid could prompt continued financial dependency. U.S. policies toward southern neighbors should encourage behavioral changes that counter traditions of impunity and weak institutions. Specifically, the U.S. should promote:

(IDRC Photo: David Barbour) Kevin Conway Limit the threats and maximize the opportunities — it’s the mantra of trade negotiators the world over. For the strategy to work, however, negotiators and their governments must be able to distinguish a promising option from a potential pitfall — and there’s the rub. Many Latin American countries lack the technical expertise and resources needed to analyze trade issues and develop good negotiating approaches. Consequently, Latin American negotiators often find themselves in trade talks defending their "national interests" without knowing the full implications of the commitments under discussion.

Latin Students - Hola!
While many schools already have associations for Latin-American students , these organizations tend to be geared more towards American students who share a common ancestry in Latin America but who have been living in the United States for all or most of their lives. And while these organizations still serve as excellent resources for students from Latin America who are in the U.S. to study, they may not always be enough. Those who speak little or no English and who have no experience living in the United States, may benefit more from forming alliances with others in their exact situation before assimilating into more traditional Latin-American student organizations.
It takes a special kind of motivation to create a new student organization on campus and students from Latin-America who wish to join an organization comprised of foreign students studying in the United States from elsewhere are more likely to have to create something new- than anyone else! There are so few organizations available of this type that we at Foreign-Student-Union.Com

It is with great pride and pleasure that I report to you on the activities of the bonsai organizations affiliated to FELAB, the Latin American Bonsai Federation. Although we are the youngest region belonging to the WBFF, you will see as you read this report that the enthusiasm, desire to learn, sharing and advancement in the art of bonsai is the greatest objective of all our countries. When FELAB was founded in February 1992, in Cali, Colombia, in the presence of Mr. John Yoshio Naka, vice chairman of the WBFF, membership consisted of Peru, Puerto Rico, Uruguay, and Venezuela. Our main obiective, which is to promote knowledge of the art of bonsai, is being achieved by our groups with proper guidance. Our desire to grow and advance through educational means and through multinational friendship has been rewarded as FELAB now boasts 14 member countries. We have added Argentina, Ecuador, Panama, Guatemala, Mexico, St. Lucia, Martinique, the Dominican Republic, and Brazil to our ranks. Every two years, we hold a Latin American Bonsai Encounter, where besides having bonsai masters as guest speakers, we have the opportunity to admire bonsai works and talents of representatives of the different countries in our hemisphere. In April 1994, the First Encounter took place in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The main speakers were Chase Rosade from the United States and Pius Notter from Switzerland. In March 1997, the Second Encounter was held in Cali, Colombia, with two distinguished guests: Hatsuji Kato as the head speaker and Mr. Kazuya Morita, both from Japan. The Third Encounter was held in St. Lucia, West Indies, in 1999.

Latin America and the Caribbean
The Development Challenge: Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) and the United States 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." The United States has a profound interest in the successful, sustainable development of our hemisphere. A prosperous LAC region provides expanded opportunities for increased trade, and a peaceful hemisphere is paramount for 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. This strategy, as stated by President Bush, links "the future of our Hemisphere to the strength of three commitments: democracy, security and market-based development."

  • Please note: All documents are in pdf format The lack of effective rule of law threatens business interests and puts citizens, including Americans, at risk. Narcotics wealth gives large trafficking organizations a practically unlimited capacity to corrupt. In economically weak countries such as Haiti and Jamaica, the drug trade's wealth makes it a great threat to democratic government. Terrorist organizations overtly seek to topple governments by force, while drug syndicates undermine them surreptitiously from within. This has led to Colombia's protracted conflict with narco-traffickers and the forced resignation of Bolivia's president. In recognition of this threat, the U.S. Government is committed to improving security overseas so that threats never arrive on our shores. This calls for targeted foreign assistance and complementary institutional reform programs in countries where organized crime exploits weak governance, especially in the justice sector.

    The Development Challenge
    There is growing consensus that corruption is leading to a crisis for democracy in this region. Corruption is seen not only as a consequence of weak governance, but as a barrier to economic development and the growth of democratic and strong societies. A 2003 study by the Center for Strategic and International Studies reports that a corrupt or inefficient justice sector can slow economic development, undermine the strength and credibility of democratic institutions, and erode the social capital necessary for development. Research by the World Bank Institute shows that countries that tackle corruption and improve the rule of law can increase their national incomes by as much as four times in the long term, and child mortality can fall as much as 75%.
