89 Jesuit Killings in Salvador Revived in Spain
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/14/world/americas/14salvador.html?_r=1&sq=jesuit&st=cse&oref=slogin&scp=1&p agewanted=print Case of ’89 Jesuit Killings in Salvador Revived in Spain By VICTORIA BRUNETT, Nov. 14, 2008 MADRID — Nearly 20 years after the Salvadoran Army killed six Jesuit priests in one of the most notorious events of El Salvador’s civil war, a criminal complaint filed in the Spanish High Court has revived hopes that those behind the massacre could face trial. Human rights lawyers filed a complaint on Thursday against the Salvadoran president at the time, Alfredo Cristiani Burkard, and 14 former members of the Salvadoran military, as well as two female employees, for their roles in the killings of the priests and in the official cover-up that followed. International outrage over the murders proved to be pivotal in sapping American support for United States military assistance to the Salvadoran Army. “We hope this case helps to reawaken the memory and the conscience of El Salvador’s people,” said Almudena Bernabeu, a lawyer for the San Francisco-based Center for Justice and Accountability, a human rights law center, which filed the case along with the Spanish Association for Human Rights. The Spanish High Court must decide whether to press charges against the men and seek their extradition to Spain, Ms. Bernabeu said. The crusading Spanish judge Baltasar Garzón made legal history in 1998 when he secured the arrest in Britain of the Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet using a Spanish legal principle that crimes against humanity can be prosecuted anywhere.

El Salvador El Salvador: a firm grip on the peace process Angelika Rettberg In January 1992, a peace agreement between the government of El Salvador and the Frente Farabundo Martí para la Liberación Nacional (Farabundo Martí Front for National Liberation, FMLN) put an end to 12 years of civil war. An important part of the Salvadoran private sector acted as a crucial interlocutor in this process, shaping the design of negotiations and the implementation of the final agreement. Many private sector leaders participated, both formally and informally, in negotiations and government advisory teams and business as a whole threw its weight behind Alfredo Cristiani, the president who led the peace talks. They actively promoted and were involved in conflict-related research and dedicated resources to support former FMLN combatants’ attendance at Central American graduate schools to foster the development of their managerial and other skills. Previous attempts at negotiating an end to the Salvadoran conflict had encountered business resistance. For example, José Napoleón Duarte, president from 1984-89, shocked the business community with a reform package aimed at redistributing wealth.1 However, by the end of the 1980s a convergence of factors produced a favourable climate for private sector support to peace negotiations.

As it leaves the once- inexorable rightward parade route laid out by the Alianza Republicana Nacionalista (ARENA), the country is headed for a good dousing in uncharted waters. El Salvador owes its creditors money, the outlook is for continued economic contraction, and tax receipts are likely to be skimpy until citizens once again have something to pay taxes on. If incoming President Mauricio Funes and his Farabundo Marti para la Liberacion Nacional (FNLN) have anything favorable to look forward to, it is that the opposition is also, for the moment, in a state of diminished capacity.

Conflict Profile
MODERN CONFLICTS: CONFLICT PROFILE El Salvador (1979 - 1992) In the 1980s El Salvador suffered one of the most intense civil wars in contemporary Latin American history. The conflict between the guerrilla insurgents grouped together in the Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front (FMLN) and the U.S.-backed government had historic roots in the social inequalities generated and maintained under the country’s oligarchic “coffee economy.” In the latter half of the 19th century, El Salvador became a major producer and exporter of coffee.

In January 1980, the largest popular demonstration in El Salvador’s history was fired upon by paramilitary forces. In March 1980, Archbishop Oscar Romero was assassinated, and the people who gathered at his funeral again were fired upon. Yet the junta also initiated an agrarian reform program and nationalized banking and the marketing of coffee and sugar.

Administration of Barack Obama, 2011 Remarks at a State Dinner Hosted
Administration of Barack Obama, 2011 Remarks at a State Dinner Hosted by President Carlos Mauricio Funes Cartagena of El Salvador in San Salvador, El Salvador March 22, 2011 Buenas noches. President Funes, First Lady, former Presidents Cristiani and Saca, distinguished guests, on behalf of Michelle and our daughters, thank you for the wonderful hospitality that's been shown to us here in San Salvador. As many of you know, this has been my first trip through Latin America as President, and this is our final night. We are closer to home. I mean this in more than just a geographical sense. El Salvador is one of those places where the bonds between the United States and Latin America are strongest. Just about every Salvadoran has a loved one or a friend in the United States—husbands and sons, mothers and daughters—working hard, sacrificing every day. They strengthen my country, and they mean so much to El Salvador. They're very much in our thoughts tonight. In my speech in Santiago yesterday, I said that Latin America is not the stereotype of a region in perpetual conflict or trapped in an endless cycle of poverty. I repeat that tonight because many look at a country like El Salvador and only see the struggles. I'm proud to work with President Funes, a courageous leader, to meet those challenges together as partners. But I also want to take this opportunity to pay tribute to the side of this nation that is too often overlooked, which is just as real and just as important.

El Salvador Overview Summary
Chapter 14. Assessing El Salvador’s Transition From Civil War to Peace Charles T. Call (from Stephen John Stedman, Donald Rothchild, & Elisabeth Cousens, Ending Civil Wars, Boulder,CO: Lynne Rienner Press, 2002) In January 1992, the leadership of the leftist Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front (FMLN) and the negotiating team of the right-wing Salvadoran government, joined at the last minute by President Alfredo Cristiani, signed a peace accord ending twelve years of civil war in El Salvador. Many analysts consider El Salvador’s transition from civil war to peace among the most successful implementations of a peace agreement in the post-Cold War period. Following the signing of the peace accord, the agreed-upon cease-fire between the two sides was never broken. Two years later, the guerrilla forces were demobilized and reconstituted as a political party, significant demilitarization of society and the state had taken place, and “founding” elections were held. In the mid-1990s the former guerrillas became the second most powerful party in the country. One study of post-civil war agreement elections rates El Salvador’s 1994 presidential and legislative elections as the only free and fair elections carried out without crises or contested results.1 The peace accords provided a catalyst for the incipient institutionalization of democracy in El Salvador. Despite the existence of elected civilian rule since 1984, sweeping institutional reforms negotiated as part of the accords permitted the country for the first time to be considered a procedural democracy.2 The United Nations played an important role throughout the negotiation and the implementation of El Salvador’s peace accords.

On June 19, it had Central America's largest seed company, Semillas Cristiani Burkard (SCB), for lunch. The bill came to US$135 million, small change for Monsanto to pay for the company founded in 1966 by Antonio Cristiani Burkard, brother of El Salvador's former President Alfredo Cristiani Burkard (1989-1994). Despite its Salvadoran branding, SCB is headquartered in Guatemala. It specializes in hybrid corn, sorghum, beans, and forage-crop seeds, with about 900 distributors throughout the isthmus. SCB is also a distributor for Seminis vegetable seeds. Seminis is a very large seed company generally unknown to any but growers. Monsanto gobbled it up in 2005, to the consternation of many growers concerned with a potential decrease in the wide availability of diverse varieties for farmers and increased biotech applications in the vegetable sector as Monsanto applies efficiencies to the industry much as farmers apply herbicides.
