  • Uruguay 2018 International Religious Freedom Report
    URUGUAY 2018 INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REPORT Executive Summary The constitution provides for freedom of religion and affirms the state does not support any particular religion. Legal statutes prohibit discrimination based on religion. The government launched an interagency, computer-based system to monitor and report on issues of discrimination, including discrimination based on religion. A judge sentenced four individuals to probation for aggravated violence and hate crimes after they were convicted of physically and psychologically attacking a colleague on religious and racial grounds. Two Jewish travelers were denied entry into a hostel. The government condemned the act, referred the case to the interagency antidiscrimination committee, opened an investigation, and closed the hostel. Some government officials made public statements and wore clothing disparaging the beliefs and practices of the Roman Catholic Church. In November media reported that Minister of Education Maria Julia Munoz called evangelical Protestant churches “the plague that grows” in a WhatsApp group. The government’s official commitment to secularism at times generated controversy between religious groups and political leaders. Religious organizations welcomed opportunities for dialogue with the government on religious freedom. The installation of religious monuments in public places continued to generate tensions. The government approved two cemetery sites for the Islamic community. The government supported several events commemorating the Holocaust, including

These rivers are the boundaries with Brazil and Argentina and most of the waterways are under joint management. This inland water transport is mainly used for international trade cargo. Principal export/import ports are described below: – Concepción Port: Located 1,940 km from Buenos Aires and in the independent management section of the Paraguay River running through Paraguay. This port is mainly used to load beans on vessels. – Asuncion Port: Located 1,630 km from Buenos Aires, this port is used for cotton export and principal everyday commodities, such as general cargoes and automobiles, are imported in containers via the Paraguay River. – Villeta Port: Located 37km to the south of Asuncion Port and used for export of beans and cotton. – Villa Hayes Port: Located near Asuncion and used for the import of steel making raw materials. – Villa Elisa Port: Located near Asuncion and used for the import of oils. – San Antonio Port: Located near Asuncion and used for the export of beans. – Vallemi Port: Port to import cement raw materials. – Encarnación: Located on the Parana River, 1,583km from Buenos Aires, and used for the export of beans.

Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract The genus Peperomia is represented by eight species in Uruguay: P. catharinae, P. comarapana, P. hispidula, P. increscens, P. pereskiifolia, P. psilostachya, P. tetraphylla and P. trineuroides. Peperomia psilostachya is reported for the first time for the flora of Uruguay, from material collected in moist hillside and riverside forests from the northeast and east of the coun- try. Three new synonyms are proposed: P. arechavaletae var. arechavaletae as synonym of P. trineuroides, P. arechavaletae var. minor of P. tetraphylla and P. trapezoidalis of P. psilostachya. Lectotypes for P. arechavaletae, P. arechavaletae var. minor and P. tacuariana, and a neotype for P. herteri are designated. The taxonomic treatment includes synonymies used in Uruguay, morphological descriptions, distribution and habitat data, phenology, conservation assesment, observations, and material examined for each species treated. A species identification key, plant illustrations and distribution maps in Uruguay are provided.

E-mail: [email protected] Resumen. – Ensamble de aves marinas y costeras en la barra de la Laguna de Rocha, Uruguay. – La Laguna de Rocha es conocida por presentar gran cantidad de especies de aves marinas y costeras tanto residentes como migratorias. Con el fin de conocer mejor la comunidad de aves que utilizan esta área, se estudió la variación en la riqueza y abundancia del ensamble de aves marinas y costeras (Charadriidae, Sco- lopacidae y Laridae) durante un año (período 2000–2001), y se describieron algunas características del hábitat escogido por ellas. En un área de 60 ha, en la barra de la laguna, se obtuvieron datos de riqueza y abundancia. Se registraron en total 24 especies correspondientes a migratorias de verano, migratorias de invierno, y residentes. La riqueza fue menor en Julio (9) y Noviembre (11), momentos en los cuales se registraron las mayores abundancias de Gaviotines Golondrina (Sterna hirundo) y de Gaviotines Sudameri- canos (S. hirundinacea), respectivamente. Los chorlos y playeros presentaron menor abundancia pero una alta riqueza, siendo las especies más comunes el Playerito Rabadilla Blanca (Calidris fuscicollis), el Chorlito Pecho Canela (Charadrius modestus) y el Chorlo Dorado (Pluvialis dominica). El Gaviotín Chico (S. superciliaris) fue registrado nidificando en el área de estudio durante dos temporadas reproductivas entre los meses de Octubre a Febrero.
