  • Honduras Update
    Peace Brigades International-USA Human Rights News HONDURAS November 13, 2019 Honduran President Linked to Drug Trafficking as New York Court Convicts his Brother On October 18, former Honduran Congressman Tony Hernández, the brother of Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez, was convicted by a Manhattan federal court of helping to import more than 200,000 kilos of cocaine into the United States. He was also found to have used heavily armed security, including members of the Honduran National Police, and of coordinating two drug-related murders. He was found guilty on four counts, which included making false statements to federal officials and possessing machine guns in furtherance of the cocaine-importation conspiracy. He is scheduled to be sentenced on January 17, 2020, and faces a sentence of at least forty years. According to the United States Department of Justice, Hernandez funneled the millions of dollars he made through his cocaine trafficking to National Party campaigns to impact Honduran presidential elections in 2009, 2013, and 2017. “Between 2010 and at least 2013,” according to the Department of Justice, “one of Hernandez’ principal co-conspirators was former Sinaloa Cartel leader Joaquín Archivaldo Guzmán Loera, a/k/a ‘Chapo.’ During that period, Hernandez helped Guzmán Loera with numerous large cocaine shipments and delivered a $1 million bribe from Guzmán Loera to Hernandez’ brother,” Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez, “in connection with the 2013 national elections in Honduras.” Recently unsealed court documents indicate that President Juan Orlando Hernández was the target of a DEA investigation in 2015. United States authorities have not brought any charges against him, however.

  • World Tourism Day
    INTERESTING POINTS Zagreb, September, 25th 2015 World Tourism Day World Tourism Day is celebrated on the 27 September each year. In 1970, on that same day, the Statutes of the United Nations World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO) were adopted. Their purpose was to raise the awareness of the importance of tourism and its effects in the cultural, social, political and economic sense. Each year's topic is determined by the General Assembly of the UNWTO and this year's topic „A billion tourists, a billion opportunities“ was chosen because, according to the data of the UNWTO, the number of tourists that travelled abroad reached one billion in 2012. The estimation of this umbrella corporation is that the total number of international tourists will have amounted to 1.8 billion by 2030. Each year, a different host country is selected. The choice depends on the geographical location. More specifically, a country from a different continent is selected, and this year's official celebration is being held in Burkina Faso where a conference will be held as well and during which the importance of tourism for the global economy will be promoted. According to the methodology of the Croatian Bureau of Statistics, which is harmonised with the methodology used by other EU Member States, tourism is defined as the activity of persons that travel and stay in places outside of their usual place of residence for a period shorter than one year and for the purposes of leisure, business and other personal reasons, except for employment with business entities situated in the place the person is visiting.

  • Child Labour and Tourism How Travel Companies Can Reduce Child Labour in Tourism Destinations
    Child Labour and Tourism How travel companies can reduce child labour in tourism destinations Emilie Hagedoorn [email protected] ICRT occasional paper n. 26 May 2013 www.icrtourism.org Summary Travel companies and travellers do not often question who cleaned the room, washed the vegetables or made the craft but from the International Labour Organisation (ILO) figures it is clear that the likelihood of them unknowingly benefitting from child labour is high. The estimates range for children working in tourism run from 13 to 19 million children under the age of 18 which counts for around 10-15% of the formal tourism labour market (Black, 1995). The numbers are probably much higher when we factor in that the informal sector was not included in the estimates. Whether we are aware of it or not child labour is very likely to have contributed to our holidays. However, the lack of visibility stops companies and travellers from asking questions or taking action to reduce child labour in tourism destinations. Effective strategies for tackling child labour in tourism can be developed when the tourism industry has a clear understanding of the causes and effects of child labour. Whilst poverty, lack of access to education and the growing demand for cheap labour are causal factors pushing higher numbers of children into work, they are also areas that the tourism industry can help address, for example by supporting education projects and providing fair wages for adults working in tourism. This paper is based on the findings from a research report called Child Labour and Tourism: How travel companies can reduce child labour in tourism destinations written by Emilie Hagedoorn in 2011 for Intrepid Travel who are one of the few travel companies to have signed up to the United Nations Global Compact.
