  • KAS International Reports 02/2014
    2|2014 KAS INTERNATIONAL REPORTS 71 LONELY TOGETHER SOUTH AMERICAN ALLIANCES MERCOSUR AND UNASUR FACE CRISIS Kristin Wesemann Latin American countries have sought partnership and a common approach to economic and foreign policy for two centuries. In spite of this they often pursue differing interests and do not find consensus. Argentinian President Cristina Kirchner presents herself as a modern independ- ence fighter who wants to liberate the country from the U.S. and Europe. This type of Latin Americanisation in Argentina has placed considerable strain on regional Dr. Kristin Wesemann cooperation. is Resident Represen­ tative of the Konrad- Adenauer-Stiftung in A SECOND LIBERATION MOVEMENT? Argentina. Kirchner’s official residence, Casa Rosada, now holds a “Salón de los Pueblos Originarios”, a Hall of Native Peoples. It is not brand new; until early 2013 it was still called “Salón Cristóbal Colón”. But the man who discovered America no longer has any clout with Cristina Kirchner. Hugo Chávez, the late head of state of Venezuela, is said to have once asked her why Argentina continues to pay homage to “this mass murderer”.1 This is likely to be one reason for the sailor’s recent exile from the palace. Chávez sometimes served as the President’s spiritus rector. Prior to this, Columbus’ presence had not bothered Kirch- ner even though it is pervasive in Argentina: Large public squares, the country’s most important theatres, roads, schools and cities are named for him.

  • Explaining the Turmoil of the Peruvian Democracy
    > Corruption, Congress and COVID: Explaining the turmoil of the Peruvian democracy Hippolyte Cailleteau Master en science politique, spécialisation Relations internationales Sciences Po Décembre 2020 Shifting back to democracy in 2000, the Peruvian political success amazed many observers. Free and fair elections took place regularly, with political alternation. The country's Growth National Income tripled over 15 years, between 2000 and 2015. Overall, the country triumphantly managed to go through the first fifteen years of the 21st century and appeared to have made its way towards a durable and liberal transition. The November 2020’s events depict a diametrically opposed situation; the Andean nation has known no less that three presidents in the span of a week. In the month of December 2020, the situation has become increasingly tenser, with massive demonstrations taking place in Lima, overtly opposing Congress-led destitution of President Martin Vizcarra. Journalists even labelled it "the worst crisis the South American nation has faced since the downfall of authoritarian President Alberto Fujimori", as two young adults died of police assault while demonstrating. How can a country which has been praised for its transition get to this point? Enduring corruption at the helm of the State Accusations of corruption are hardly a new phenomenon in Peru. All of the 21st century-elected presidents were either put on trial or even convicted of these charges. Three of them are currently still entangled in the corruption scandal involving the Brazilian Odebrecht construction company. This is what eventually led President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski (PPK) to resign, in order to avoid a shameful impeachment trial, and leave the way to his vice president.

    SOCIETÀ E DIRITTI - RIVISTA ELETTRONICA 2017 ANNO II N.4. Sentence condemning the former president of Peru for violations of human rights 2017 ANNO II NUMERO 4 di Dennis Chavez de Paz pp. 81-103 articolo rivisto SOCIETÀ E DIRITTI - RIVISTA ELETTRONICA ANNO 2017, II, N.4 103 articolo rivisto - SENTENCE CONDEMNING THE FORMER PRESIDENT OF PERU FOR VIOLATIONS OF HUMAN RIGHTS di Dennis Chavez de Paz di Dennis Chavez de Paz pp. 81 | s Abstract There is an empirical relationship between state and type of protection or violation of human rights a constitutional and democratic state of law there is a greater guarantee of protection of human rights than in an authoritarian and dictatorial state. This last situation is attributed to the ex President of Peru, Alberto Fujimori, who governed from 1990 to 2000; Having been sentenced by the Peruvian courts for human rights violations, to 25 years of imprisonment. It is the only case in Latin America where a former president is in prison for violation of Human Rights. This paper describes the socio-political conditions in which context human rights were violated; It analyses the factual and legal reasoning of the judges, contained in the sentence vs. ex-president Alberto Fujimori. Key words: Human Rights, Authoritarian State, Latin America; Resumen Existe una relación empírica entre tipo de Estado y la protección o violación de los Derechos Humanos. En un estado de derecho constitucional y democrático hay mayor garantía de protección de los Derechos Humanos, que en un estado autoritario y dictatorial. Esta última situación se atribuye al ex presidente del Perú, Alberto Fujimori, que gobernó de 1990 al año 2000; habiendo sido condenado por los tribunales peruanos, por violación de los derechos humanos, a una pena privativa de su libertad por 25 años.

  • Whatever Became Of" the Pursuit of Happiness"? the US Press And
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 095 575 CS 201 537 AUTHOR Knudson, Jerry TITLE Whatever Became of "The Pursuit of Happiness "? The U.S. Press and Social Revolution in Latin America. PUB DATE Aug 74 NOTE 26p.; Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the Association for Education in Journalism (57th, San Diego, California, August 18-21, 1974) EDRS PRICE MF-$0.75 HC-$1.85 PLUS POSTAGE DESCRIPTORS Civil Rights; Communications; *Journalism; *Media Research; *News Reporting; *Press Opinion; *Revolution; World Affairs IDENTIFIERS *Latin America ABSTRACT This paper examines treatment by the U.S. press of the Mexican, Cuban, and Chilean revolutions from a historical perspective, both using original research and synthesizing the research of others. On balance, the U.S. media have reported or commented on Latin American social revolutions mainly by exploiting sensation and ridicule. Economic interests probably predispose the U.S. press toward a conservative stance. Perhaps more significant, however, is the cultural conception of individual reportem and editors that the U.S. political system of representative democracy is inextricably bound up with the economic system of private ownership of property. Most U.S. reporters have a difficult time covering social revolution simply because it is alien to their experience. They tend to regard the world as a giant police court where property rights take precedence over human rights. (Author/TO) U S DEPARTMENT OF HEAL TN. EDUCATION& WFLFARE NATIONAL.

  • The Highlights of Peru September 2 – 14, 2021
    The Highlights of Peru Machu Picchu – Cuzco -Amazon forest – Lake Titicaca C September 2 – 14, 2021 Cuzco ● Machu Picchu ● Sacred Valley ● Temple of the Sun ● Sacsayhuaman ● Lake Titicaca ● Floating Islands of the Urus Indians ● Lima ● Ollantaytambo ● Pisaq ● Andahuaylillas ● Koricancha Temple ● Raqchi ● Wiracocha Temple (“God the Creator” temple) ____________________________________________________________________________ This Columbus Travel tour is a unique experience. In addition to visits to expected sites, such as Cuzco and Machu Picchu, our tour will take us to off-the-beaten track places, and immerse ourselves in the world of the Incas. We visit historic cultural sites, temples and archaeological remains that see few outsiders. We visit UNESCO World heritage sites, such us the Church of San Pedro Apostle, called the Sistine Chapel of South America for its paintings that cover the ceilings, then on to Raqchi and Temple of Wiracocha, a site rarely seen by foreign visitors. Wiracocha, “God the Creator”, was the white deity to the Inca natives. This massive temple was built to honor their God of Creation. Nearby Raqchi, the temple is one of the largest Inca archaeological sites in the valley. We continue to Lake Titicaca, the highest navigable lake in the world and the floating islands of the Urus Indians. Of course, no journey to the empire of the Incas would be complete without a visit to Cuzco and Machu Picchu. Cuzco is nestled high in the Andes Mountains. It is a UNESCO World heritage site. It was the former capital of the Inca Empire Cuzco still retains its indigenous and colonial heritage and architecture. Machu Picchu, the ancient Inca citadel, boasts more than 150 buildings and sits above the Urubamba River valley.
