  • Colombia Page 1 of 21
    Colombia Page 1 of 21 Colombia Country Reports on Human Rights Practices - 2006 Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor March 6, 2007 Colombia is a constitutional, multiparty democracy with a population of approximately 42 million. On May 28, independent presidential candidate Alvaro Uribe was reelected in elections that were considered generally free and fair. The 42-year internal armed conflict continued between the government and terrorist organizations, particularly the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) and the National Liberation Army (ELN). .The United Self Defense Forces of Colombia (AUC) was demobilized by August, but renegade AUC members who did not demobilize, or who demobilized but later abandoned the peace process, remained the object of military action. While civilian authorities generally maintained effective control of the security forces, there were instances in which elements of the security forces acted in violation of state policy. Although serious problems remained, the government's respect for human rights continued to improve, which was particularly evident in actions undertaken by the government's security forces and in demobilization negotiations with the AUC. The following societal problems and governmental human rights abuses were reported during the year: unlawful and extrajudicial killings; forced disappearances; insubordinate military collaboration with criminal groups; torture and mistreatment of detainees; overcrowded and insecure prisons; arbitrary arrest; high number of

  • MHC Class II Haplotypes of Colombian Amerindian Tribes
    Genetics and Molecular Biology, 36, 2, 158-166 (2013) Copyright © 2013, Sociedade Brasileira de Genética. Printed in Brazil www.sbg.org.br Research Article MHC Class II haplotypes of Colombian Amerindian tribes Juan J. Yunis1,2,3, Edmond J. Yunis4 and Emilio Yunis3 1Departamento de Patología, Facultad de Medicina e Instituto de Genética, Universidad Nacional de Colombia, Ciudad Universitaria, Bogotá, Colombia. 2Grupo de Identificación Humana e Inmunogenética, Facultad de Medicina, Universidad Nacional de Colombia, Bogotá, Colombia. 3Instituto de Genética, Servicios Médicos Yunis Turbay y Cia, Bogotá, Colombia. 4Brigham and Womens Hospital, Department of Pathology, Harvard Medical School, Boston, USA. Abstract We analyzed 1041 individuals belonging to 17 Amerindian tribes of Colombia, Chimila, Bari and Tunebo (Chibcha linguistic family), Embera, Waunana (Choco linguistic family), Puinave and Nukak (Maku-Puinave linguistic fami- lies), Cubeo, Guanano, Tucano, Desano and Piratapuyo (Tukano linguistic family), Guahibo and Guayabero (Guayabero Linguistic Family), Curripaco and Piapoco (Arawak linguistic family) and Yucpa (Karib linguistic family). for MHC class II haplotypes (HLA-DRB1, DQA1, DQB1). Approximately 90% of the MHC class II haplotypes found among these tribes are haplotypes frequently encountered in other Amerindian tribes. Nonetheless, striking differ- ences were observed among Chibcha and non-Chibcha speaking tribes. The DRB1*04:04, DRB1*04:11, DRB1*09:01 carrying haplotypes were frequently found among non-Chibcha speaking tribes, while the DRB1*04:07 haplotype showed significant frequencies among Chibcha speaking tribes, and only marginal frequencies among non-Chibcha speaking tribes. Our results suggest that the differences in MHC class II haplotype frequency found among Chibcha and non-Chibcha speaking tribes could be due to genetic differentiation in Mesoamerica of the an- cestral Amerindian population into Chibcha and non-Chibcha speaking populations before they entered into South America.

  • Black Box Approaches to Genealogical Classification and Their Shortcomings Jelena Prokić and Steven Moran
    Black box approaches to genealogical classification and their shortcomings Jelena Prokić and Steven Moran 1. Introduction In the past 20 years, the application of quantitative methods in historical lin- guistics has received a lot of attention. Traditional historical linguistics relies on the comparative method in order to determine the genealogical related- ness of languages. More recent quantitative approaches attempt to automate this process, either by developing computational tools that complement the comparative method (Steiner et al. 2010) or by applying fully automatized methods that take into account very limited or no linguistic knowledge, e.g. the Levenshtein approach. The Levenshtein method has been extensively used in dialectometry to measure the distances between various dialects (Kessler 1995; Heeringa 2004; Nerbonne 1996). It has also been frequently used to analyze the relatedness between languages, such as Indo-European (Serva and Petroni 2008; Blanchard et al. 2010), Austronesian (Petroni and Serva 2008), and a very large sample of 3002 languages (Holman 2010). In this paper we will examine the performance of the Levenshtein distance against n-gram models and a zipping approach by applying these methods to the same set of language data. The success of the Levenshtein method is typically evaluated by visu- ally inspecting and comparing the obtained genealogical divisions against already well-established groupings found in the linguistics literature. It has been shown that the Levenshtein method is successful in recovering main languages groups, which for example in the case of Indo-European language family, means that it is able to correctly classify languages into Germanic, Slavic or Romance groups.

  • Domac/16, October 2011
    THE ICC AND ITS NORMATIVE IMPACT ON COLOMBIA‟S LEGAL SYSTEM BY ALEJANDRO CHEHTMAN DOMAC/16, OCTOBER 2011 ABOUT DOMAC THE DOMAC PROJECT focuses on the actual interaction between national and international courts involved in prosecuting individuals in mass atrocity situations. It explores what impact international procedures have on prosecution rates before national courts, their sentencing policies, award of reparations and procedural legal standards. It comprehensively examines the problems presented by the limited response of the international community to mass atrocity situations, and offers methods to improve coordination of national and international proceedings and better utilization of national courts, inter alia, through greater formal and informal avenues of cooperation, interaction and resource sharing between national and international courts. THE DOMAC PROJECT is a research program funded under the Seventh Framework Programme for EU Research (FP7) under grant agreement no. 217589. The DOMAC project is funded under the Socio-economic sciences and Humanities Programme for the duration of three years starting 1st February 2008. THE DOMAC PARTNERS are Hebrew University, Reykjavik University, University College London, University of Amsterdam, and University of Westminster. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Dr Alejandro Chehtman is Research Associate at the Centre for International Courts and Tribunals, Faculty of Laws, UCL and Assistant Professor at the University Torcuato Di Tella, Argentina. He has recently published a monograph on “The Philosophical Foundations of Extraterritorial Punishment” (Oxford University Press, 2010). He currently teaches Public International Law and International Criminal Law at UTDT. Dr Chehtman worked as a legal clerk at the Criminal Appeals Chamber and at the Public Defender Office in Argentina.

  • The Multicultural Constitution
    The Multicultural Constitution Daniel Bonilla Chapter Two The National Constitutional Assembly, the 1991 Constitution and the Tension Between Cultural Unity and Cultural Difference In the previous chapter, I analyzed Taylor, Kymlicka and Tully’s proposals to recognize and accommodate cultural diversity. I argued that their views present some theoretical instruments that are useful for understanding the origins and dynamics of the contemporary debate on how the state should recognize and accommodate cultural difference. Taylor’s genealogical analysis of the politics of recognition, Tully’s examination of the homogenizing character of the categories that define modern constitutionalism, and Kymlicka’s reflection on the connection between culture and freedom, for example, are tools that no doubt help us to comprehend the main components of the contemporary political debate about the relationship that the state should have with the cultural communities coexisting within its boundaries. Yet, in the previous chapter I claimed as well that the normative proposals offered by these three authors ultimately fail to recognize and accommodate cultural diversity and to move beyond conflicts among liberal communities. Taylor, Kymlicka and Tully’s political models, I argued, are trapped by their commitment to liberal values. The only cultural communities that these authors’ views can recognize and accommodate are those already committed to individual rights and democratic values. For these philosophers, illiberal cultures should be liberalized and hybrid communities should always give priority to the liberal elements of their traditions. For them, the only cultural differences that ought to be recognized are those remaining after all cultures have converted to the dominant political perspective of our time: liberalism.
