  • Free and Unfree Labor in the Building of Roads and Rails in Havana, Cuba, –∗
    IRSH (), pp. – doi:./S © Internationaal Instituut voor Sociale Geschiedenis The Path to Sweet Success: Free and Unfree Labor in the Building of Roads and Rails in Havana, Cuba, –∗ E VELYN P. J ENNINGS St. Lawrence University Vilas Hall , Canton, NY ,USA E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: Havana’s status as a colonial port shaped both its infrastructure needs and the patterns of labor recruitment and coercion used to build it. The port city’s initial economic and political orientation was maritime, with capital and labor invested largely in defense and shipbuilding. By the nineteenth century, Cuba had become a plantation colony based on African enslavement, exporting increasing quantities of sugar to Europe and North America. Because the island was relatively underpopu- lated, workers for infrastructure projects and plantations had to be imported through global circuits of coerced labor, such as the transatlantic slave trade, the transportation of prisoners, and, in the s, indentured workers from Europe, Mexico, or Asia. Cuban elites and colonial officials in charge of transportation projects experimented with different mixes of workers, who labored on the roads and railways under various degrees of coercion, but always within the socio-economic and cultural framework of a society based on the enslavement of people considered racially distinct. Thus, the indenture of white workers became a crucial supplement to other forms of labor coer- cion in the building of rail lines in the s, but Cuban elites determined that these workers’ whiteness was too great a risk to the racial hierarchy of the Cuban labor market and therefore sought more racially distinct contract workers after .

  • Cuba 2019 Crime & Safety Report
    Cuba 2019 Crime & Safety Report This is an annual report produced in conjunction with the Regional Security Office at the U.S. Embassy in Havana, Cuba. The current U.S. Department of State Travel Advisory at the date of this report’s publication assesses Cuba at Level 2, indicating travelers should exercise increased caution. Overall Crime and Safety Situation The U.S. Embassy in Havana does not assume responsibility for the professional ability or integrity of the persons or firms appearing in this report. The ACS Unit cannot recommend a particular individual or location and assumes no responsibility for the quality of service provided. Please review OSAC’s Cuba-specific page for original OSAC reporting, consular messages, and contact information, some of which may be available only to private-sector representatives with an OSAC password. Crime Threats There is moderate risk from crime in Havana. While there are no reliable crime statistics from the Government of Cuba, the U.S. Embassy continues to receive several reports per month of crimes against U.S. tourists and other foreign nationals. As the number of U.S. travelers increases, so does the number of reported incidents. These proportional increases are consistent with reporting from other diplomatic missions. Most crime can be associated with pickpocketing, purse snatching, fraud schemes, and thefts from unoccupied cars, hotel rooms, and dwellings. U.S. travelers are generally perceived to be more affluent than Cubans and other tourists, presenting them as attractive targets. Most offenses take place in areas frequented by foreigners. Although most tourist hotels are relatively safe in Havana, pickpockets, prostitutes, and other criminals may congregate there.

  • Cuba 2019 Human Rights Report
    CUBA 2019 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Cuba is an authoritarian state led by Miguel Diaz-Canel, president of the republic, with former president Raul Castro serving as the first secretary of the Cuban Communist Party (CCP). Despite ratifying a new constitution on February 24, Cuba remains a one-party system in which the constitution states the CCP is the only legal political party and the highest political entity of the state. The Ministry of Interior exercises control over the police, internal security forces, and the prison system. The ministry’s National Revolutionary Police is the primary law enforcement organization. Specialized units of the ministry’s state security branch are responsible for monitoring, infiltrating, and suppressing independent political activity. The national leadership, including members of the military, maintained effective control over the security forces. Significant human rights issues included: reports of abuse of political dissidents, detainees, and prisoners by security forces; harsh and life-threatening prison conditions; arbitrary arrests and detentions; significant problems with the independence of the judiciary; political prisoners; and arbitrary or unlawful interference with privacy. The government severely restricted freedom of the press, used criminal libel laws against persons critical of leadership, and engaged in censorship and site blocking. There were limitations on academic and cultural freedom; restrictions on the right of peaceful assembly; denial of freedom of association, including refusal to recognize independent associations; restrictions on internal and external freedom of movement and severe restrictions of religious freedom. Political participation was restricted to members of the ruling party, and elections were not free and fair. There was official corruption, trafficking in persons, outlawing of independent trade unions, and compulsory labor.

  • Title Legal Enforcement Towards Journalists' Professional Rights in Vietnam IPDC Priority Area Promoting the Safety of Journalis
    Title Legal enforcement towards journalists' professional rights in Vietnam IPDC Priority Promoting the safety of journalists Area Scope National Country Viet Nam Region Asia and Pacific Total cost of $20,000 project Amount $18,000 requested from IPDC Beneficiary Name Address Phone e-mail Name of contact Body The Center for Research on Development Vietnam [email protected] Chi Nguyễn Communication (RED) Implementing BANGKOK Office Immediate The project immediate objective is to promote the safety for journalists and objective correspondents (40% women and 60% men) through raising the awareness of journalists, governmental agencies and press agencies on journalists’ rights so as to contribute to the law enforcement towards journalism, particularly the Government’s Decree No. 159/2013/ND-CP regulating sanctions against violations of journalists' rights working at field (see Annex on specific Article 7 of the Decree) Currently, Vietnam has more than 20,000 journalists and correspondents working for over 800 press agencies including central and local printed and electronic newspapers and magazines, central and local radio and television stations. The project targeted beneficiaries are male and female journalists who are in charge of working at fields in remote and disadvantaged regions. This group is often facing harassment, obstructions or infliction by investigated objects. Whereas the local authorities in remote regions are not often fully aware of the rights of journalists to protect them.

We will be running the businesses and casting the votes and contributing to the culture that will serve to identify our country for decades to come. As such, it is our duty to cultivate a devotion to political curiosity and vigilance so that we can shape this future in the most well informed manner we possibly can. The Political Awareness Club is a part of that cultivation, providing an environment for students to discuss and debate what is going on in the world and develop their own unique perspective they can carry with them into the adult world. We meet on Thursday afternoons in Mr. Szabs‘s room (B407). All are welcome to attend.
