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.

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.

More than 150 people from 21 countries in the region, representing the academic, public, private and civil sectors, got together to debate the priorities of the countries in Latin America and the Caribbean regarding national and regional integration and development in the Information Society. The meeting was jointly organized by the Ministry of Science and Technology (MCT), the Information Society Program (SocInfo), Unesco and the United Nations - through a Task Force for Information and Communication Technologies for Development (UN ICT Task Force). Through the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), Unesco and other agencies, the UNO is organizing the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS). Two global rounds are predicted: in December 2003, in Geneva, Switzerland and in 2005, in Tunisia. Despite counting on Unesco's participation in its organization, the Forum in Rio was an extra-official event. However, for Gustavo Lopes, the representative of Unesco that accompanied the work, it was very productive. - Since this event is extra-official, its result is uncommon, for it encompasses several levels - declared Gustavo during the closing of the Forum, on the 28th.

I. OBSERVATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS A. Basic space science In order to assist scientists in developing countries in finding the necessary support in the pursuit of basic space sciences, the United Nations should exert its best efforts to create awareness of the importance of basic space science for national development among decision makers and the general population. Reconsidering the suggestions in the first UN/ESA Workshop in Bangalore (Document A/AC.105/489), the following areas of research were confirmed by participants as parts of basic space science: Astronomy and astrophysics; Solar-terrestrial interaction and its influence on terrestrial climate; Planetary and atmospheric studies; Origin of life and exobiology. Participants agreed that the following techniques would be applicable for pursuing basic space science research: Ground-based optical, infrared and radio observations and radio and optical telescopes with associated equipment; Remote sensing, both from the ground and from space; In-situ measurements from rocket, balloon and satellite plat-forms; All measurements from ground-inaccessible windows (e.g. X-Ray and others) which can be made only through the use of instruments and telescopes in Earth orbit;
