Abstract: Objective/Context: In recent years, decreasing water availability, accessibility, and quality in the Upper and Middle Guajira has led to the death of thousands of Wayúu people. This has been caused by precipitation 45 deficit and droughts and hydro-colonization by mining and hydropower projects. This study assesses the effectiveness of the Wayúu’s legal mobili- zation to redress the widespread violation of their fundamental rights on the basis of the enforceability and justiciability of the human right to water. Methodology: The study assesses the effects of the Wayúu’s legal mobiliza- tion by following the methodological approach proposed by Siri Gloppen, * This paper is result of two field studies conducted in the framework of my doctoral studies: firstly, PARALELOS a six-month research stay at the Research and Development Institute in Water Supply, Environmental Sanitation and Water Resources Conservation of the Universidad del Valle, Cali (2016-2017); secondly, the participation in the summer courses on “Effects of Lawfare: Courts and Law as Battlegrounds for Social Change” at the Centre on Law and Social Transformation (Bergen 2017).

  • UNHCR Colombia Receives the Support of Private Donors And
    NOVEMBER 2020 COLOMBIA FACTSHEET For more than two decades, UNHCR has worked closely with national and local authorities and civil society in Colombia to mobilize protection and advance solutions for people who have been forcibly displaced. UNHCR’s initial focus on internal displacement has expanded in the last few years to include Venezuelans and Colombians coming from Venezuela. Within an interagency platform, UNHCR supports efforts by the Government of Colombia to manage large-scale mixed movements with a protection orientation in the current COVID-19 pandemic and is equally active in preventing statelessness. In Maicao, La Guajira department, UNHCR provides shelter to Venezuela refugees and migrants at the Integrated Assistance Centre ©UNHCR/N. Rosso. CONTEXT A peace agreement was signed by the Government of Colombia and the FARC-EP in 2016, signaling a potential end to Colombia’s 50-year armed conflict. Armed groups nevertheless remain active in parts of the country, committing violence and human rights violations. Communities are uprooted and, in the other extreme, confined or forced to comply with mobility restrictions. The National Registry of Victims (RUV in Spanish) registered 54,867 displacements in the first eleven months of 2020. Meanwhile, confinements in the departments of Norte de Santander, Chocó, Nariño, Arauca, Antioquia, Cauca and Valle del Cauca affected 61,450 people in 2020, as per UNHCR reports. The main protection risks generated by the persistent presence of armed groups and illicit economies include forced recruitment of children by armed groups and gender- based violence – the latter affecting in particular girls, women and LGBTI persons. Some 2,532 cases of GBV against Venezuelan women and girls were registered by the Ministry of Health between 1 January and September 2020, a 41.5% increase compared to the same period in 2019.

  • Cartagena De Indias En El Siglo Xvii Cartagena De Indias En El Siglo Xvii
    editores ste libro contiene los trabajos que se presentaron en el V Simposio sobre la EHistoria de Cartagena, llevado a cabo por el Área Cultural del Banco de la Repú- blica los días 15 y 16 de septiembre de 2005. El encuentro tuvo como tema la vida de la Haroldo Calvo Stevenson ciudad en el siglo xvii, centuria que, se po- y dría decir, empezó para Cartagena en 1586 y terminó en 1697, es decir, desde el ataque de Cartagena de indias Francis Drake hasta la toma de Pointis. en el siglo xvii El siglo xvii es el periodo menos estudiado de la historiografía nacional y cartagenera. Quizás la razón estriba en que se trata de una Adolfo Meisel Roca época que no tiene los tintes heroicos de la gesta conquistadora y fundacional del siglo xvii xvi, la vistosidad de la colonia virreinal del siglo xviii, o el drama y las tristezas del xix. Llama la atención, por ejemplo, que la Histo- el siglo ria económica de Colombia editada por José Antonio Ocampo, que es el texto estándar Adolfo Meisel Roca y Haroldo Calvo Stevenson editores sobre la materia desde hace unos veinte años, se inicia con un ensayo de Germán Colmenares sobre la formación de la economía colonial y salta a un estudio de Jaime Jaramillo Uribe sobre la economía del Virreinato. La historia de Cartagena, quizás por las mismas razones, no ha sido ajena a este olvido.

    10:00 - 11:00 a.m. Register: https://bit.ly/2ZUdDpN Session 1a, Indigenous Perspectives: Ethnographic Travels Around Ethnic Groups in Africa and South America Bilingualism conditions in an indigenous bilingual school in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, Colombia: education policies and use of languages at an iku school community, Nicolás David Barbosa Varón, Universidad Nacional de Colombia, Bogotá The iku or arhuaco is an indigenous ethnic group located at Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, northern Colombia. They have historically been characterized by their resistance and resilience to phenomena of cultural threat derived from colonization and the constitution of a country that has been politically and socially adverse towards indigenous cultures and languages. Within the framework of linguistic conservation, it is established that school education is an important element for the maintenance of ethnic languages, in consequence the iku people began, at the end of 20th century, a process of establishing their own education program. Simunurwa is an iku community close to the town center of Pueblo Bello (Cesar Department), so the contact between indigenous and mestizo people is remarkable; nevertheless, the traditional culture and language remain widespread despite economic, political and cultural external influences. This sociolinguistic research, from an ethnographic approach, proposes the analysis of the state of bilingualism at Simunurwa Indigenous Educational Center, considering the linguistic planning and the use of ikun (indigenous language) and Spanish in different speech situations of the school context. It is identified that in Simunurwa exists a linguistic policy favorable to the indigenous tongue so it maintains its place in the multiple speech contexts; however, in the educational field, the ikun language is at disadvantage compared to Spanish, mainly in terms of literacy.

  • The Colombian Transitional Process
    International Journal of Transitional Justice, 2017, 0, 1–18 doi: 10.1093/ijtj/ijx033 Article The Colombian Transitional Process: Comparative Perspectives on Violence against Indigenous Women Mo´nica Acosta,* Angela Castaneda,~ † Daniela Garcı´a,** Fallon Herna´ndez,†† Dunen Muelas*** and Angela Santamaria††† ABSTRACT1 Colombia has a comprehensive system of truth, justice and reparation stemming from its history with the justice and peace process and its most recent peace agreement. Although indigenous women are the most affected before, during and after conflict, their participa- tion is marginalized within this political context. This article discusses how Colombian transitional justice can be reconfigured when indigenous women’s practices and knowl- edge travel ‘from the margins’ to the center. We seek to demonstrate how these practices legitimize gender and other types of violence in the name of tradition and also how indig- enous women’s experiences go beyond the gendered perspective of violence as a ‘weapon of war.’ Working within the context of the peace process, we gathered data through learn- ing and teaching techniques with indigenous women in three indigenous contexts (Sierra, Pan-Amazon region and Choco´). Our focus is on the interaction between local transi- tional justice practices and the violence against indigenous women, their resistance practi- ces and the peacebuilding agendas used to implement transitional justice in Colombia.
