The Social Origins of Human Rights The Social Origins of Human Rights Popular Responses to Political Violence in a Colombian Oil Refinery Town 1919-1993 Luis van Isschot Department of History McGill University October 2010 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy @Luis van Isschot, 2010 i Abstract This dissertation examines why, how and with what impact people living in conflict areas organize collectively to assert human rights. The focus is the emergence in the 1980s of a human rights movement in the oil enclave of Barrancabermeja. The Barrancabermeja-based Regional Committee for the Defence of Human Rights (CREDHOS) was created in 1987 in the context of dirty war fought on multiple fronts between state security forces and their paramilitary allies, on the one hand, and Marxist insurgent groups, on the other. In exploring the history of a human rights movement in one of Colombia’s most chronically war-affected regions, this dissertation expands our understanding of how frontline activists interpret human rights principles from the bottom-up. Human rights movements cannot be viewed as axiomatic or simple humanitarian responses to political violence. The term “human rights” refers to contingent norms and practices that are derived from lived experiences of authoritarianism, war, poverty and social exclusion. In this dissertation I argue that social activists in the war-torn Colombian oil town of Barrancabermeja undertook human rights activism both as a strategy of self-preservation and as a transformative praxis. In Barrancabermeja, the struggle for human rights did not displace or supplant longstanding local struggles for social justice and political change. Rather, human rights was considered to be a form of social protest consistent with previously existing traditions of popular radicalism for which Barrancabermeja has become celebrated. ii Résumé Cette thèse de doctorat examine l’action collective en faveur des droits humains organisée par des personnes vivant en zone de conflit, analysant les raisons qui ont motivé cette démarche, la façon par laquelle elle fut mise en œuvre et ses impacts concrets. L’analyse cible particulièrement l’apparition d’un mouvement des droits humains dans l’enclave pétrolière de Barrancabermeja. Le Comité régional pour la défense des droits humains (CREDHOS) fut établi en 1987 alors que sévissait sur plusieurs fronts une guerre sale opposant l’État colombien et ses alliés paramilitaires aux insurgés marxistes. En ciblant la création d’un mouvement des droits humains dans une des régions de la Colombie les plus affligées par la guerre, cette thèse révèle comment les principes des droits humains peuvent être interprétés de façon singulière par les activistes en zone de combat. L’émergence de mouvements des droits humains ne peut être réduite à un réflexe humanitaire pour contrer la violence politique. Le concept même de droits humains fait référence à des pratiques et normes contingentes qui ont été modelées par l’expérience des régimes autoritaires, de la guerre, de la pauvreté et de l’exclusion sociale. Les gens qui militaient en faveur des droits humains dans l’enclave pétrolière de Barrancabermeja ont mis en œuvre leur activisme en poursuivant deux buts : d’une part, celui-ci constituait une stratégie d’autodéfense contre la violence politique; d’autre part, il représentait une pratique sociale réformatrice. Les luttes en faveur d’une plus grande justice sociale qui animaient déjà Barrancabermeja depuis des décennies n’ont pas été supplantées par ce nouvel activisme pour les droits humains. Au contraire, le militantisme entourant la promotion des droits humains était compatible avec cette tradition de radicalisme populaire qui avait fait la renommée de Barrancabermeja. iii For Nicolasa and Jordi. iv Acknowledgements This dissertation would never have been completed without the love and support I receive from Stephanie Conway. I want to thank her for her encouragement and understanding in the face of seemingly endless cycles of research, writing, revisions, and multiple trips to Colombia. She has shared my passion for this work, and that is everything in the world to me. I want to thank everyone in Colombia who shared their stories with me, many whose names appear in the pages that follow, and many others as well. Very special thanks to all of the people at CREDHOS for generously allowing me into their archives. I also want to thank Miguel Fernández, Glenis Pérez, Mirjam Koppe, Elena Rey, Camilo Castellanos, Eleanor Douglas, Katia Urteaga and Peace Brigades International for their hospitality and support, in Bogotá and Barrancabermeja. Thank you as well to all of my Colombian friends, teachers and mentors, especially Rosa Pinzón, Amanda Romero, Francisco Campos, Régulo Madero, Yolanda Becerra, Luisa Serrano, Rafael Velásquez, Fernando Acuña, Matilde Vargas, Pedro Galindo, Alfonso Torres Duarte, Germán Plata, Mauricio Archila, and John Jairo Bedoya. Thanks are also due to William Mancera for his fantastic assistance conducting research in the libraries of Bogotá. Thank you to Winifred Tate for her feedback and encouragement. Thank you to Catherine LeGrand for all of your energy and wisdom along my academic journey. When I lived in Colombia in 1998, several years before I began my PhD, a friend of mine who taught history at the Universidad de la Paz in Barrancabermeja, Germán Plata, told me about Catherine LeGrand. He had never met her, but said she had written a clásico of Colombian history, and that I absolutely had to v look her up when I got back home to Montreal. I could never have imagined just how significant his advice would prove. Catherine LeGrand’s insights and always pertinent guidance have made this entire process a pleasure for me. Thank you to my parents Joyce Canfield and Carlos van Isschot, my sister Andina van Isschot and Bernard Pelletier. Also thanks to my sister Isabel van Isschot and Carlos Osorio. I think that my father must know, but it bears repeating here, that he has inspired me with his love of Latin American history and his rebellious spirit. In this dissertation I have tried to honour a vision of social and political justice in Latin America that I first learned at home. I have felt very closely accompanied by him these past years. My mother’s love, intellect and strength seem boundless to me. She has taught me the importance hard work and respect, which are probably the most important values I could bring to my research process. Special thanks Christopher Conway. Our many conversations about his experiences as a member of a Scottish tank crew in the Second World War and an advocate for prisoners’ rights in the Canadian penal system have had a big impact on my thinking about the politics of remembrance, the costs of war, and human dignity. Thanks Chris for being such a wonderful storyteller and an incorrigible nonconformist. In Washington, D.C., thanks to Michael Evans and Carlos Osorio at the National Security Archive at George Washington University, and Viviana Kristicevic and Michael Camilleri at the Center for Justice and International Law (CEJIL). At McGill University, special thanks to Daviken Studnicki-Gizbert and Stephen J. Toope for their generosity and support. Thank you as well to Philip Oxhorn, Iain Blair and of course Samuel J. vi Noumoff. Thank you to Colleen Parish, Jody Anderson, Silvia Crawford, and all of the staff at the Department of History.

A partir del enfoque de la institucionalización organizativa, el texto aborda las características de estos procesos a través de tres dimensiones analíticas: la existencia de reglas de juego, su grado de aplicación y acatamiento por parte de los actores internos de los partidos. El argumento central es que ambos partidos presentan un precario proceso de institucionalización organizativa, el cual se expresa en la debilidad de sus procesos de rutinización de las reglas internas. Finaliza mostrando cómo los sucedido en las elecciones de 2002 y de 2006, en las que se puso en evidencia que el predominio histórico de los partidos Liberal y Conservador estaba siendo disputado por nuevos partidos, los ha obligado a encaminarse hacia su reestructuración y hacia la búsqueda de mayores niveles de institucionalización organizativa.

  • Banana Massacre, Or Matanza De Las Bananeras
    BANAN A MASSACRE This Day In HISTORY December 06, 1928 "Towards the end of 1928, in protest against poor pay and working conditions, banana pickers in Colombia took the decision to come out on strike. The industrial action threatened the interests of the American-owned United Fruit Company, who lobbied the American government to send troops into Colombia to suppress the strike. In order to obviate the need for US troops entering Colombian territory, the Colombian government acted to suppress the strike itself, and on 6 December sent armed forces into the town of Cienaga, the strikers’ stronghold. The suppression was ruthless and violent, and was responsible for the deaths of scores of strikers and members of their families. It became known as The Banana Massacre, or Matanza de las Bananeras. The workers of the United Fruit Company had several key grievances, most of which concerned their harsh working conditions, and the perception of being under-valued. They demanded formal written contracts, eight-hour working days, six-day working weeks and an end to the practice of paying wages with food coupons. Backed by left-leaning politicians, the strike quickly gathered momentum and became the largest display of organised dissent ever seen in Colombia. Alarmed by the extent of the civil unrest, but unwilling to allow America to participate in a domestic matter, the Colombian government sent a regiment from Bogotá to put down the strike. Under the leadership of General Cortés Vargas, the government forces set up heavily armed posts around Cienaga’s main square, surrounding the strikers who were gathered within.

    For the exclusive use of N. Demir, 2017. TB0245 Andreas Schotter Mary Teagarden Blood Bananas: Chiquita in Colombia No one laughs at the banana in its areas of origin. It is too serious a business, on which jobs and lives depend. Peter Chapman, Author of Jungle Capitalists. For Chiquita Brands International, a pioneer in the globalization of the banana industry, bananas are not only serious business, they represent an array of economic, social, environmental, political, and legal hassles. Since its founding more than a hundred years ago as United Fruit Company, Chiquita has been involved in paying bribes to Latin American government officials in exchange for preferential treatment, encouraging or supporting U.S. coups against smaller nations, putting in place dictatorships in Central America’s “banana republics,” exploiting local workers, creating an abusive monopoly, and now doing business with terrorists.1 For American multinationals, the rewards of doing business abroad are enormous, but so are the risks. Over the past decades, no place has been more hazardous than Colombia, a country that is just emerging from a deadly civil war and the effects of wide-ranging narco-terrorism. Chiquita found out the hard way. It made tens of millions in profit growing bananas in Colombia, only to emerge with its reputation splattered in blood.2 In 2004, Chiquita voluntarily admitted criminal responsibility to the U.S. Justice Department that one of its Colombian banana subsidiaries had made protection payments from 1997 through 2004 to terrorist groups. Consequently, a high-profile investigation and legal trial followed. In 2007, Chiquita entered into a plea agree- ment to resolve the criminal prosecution.

Es bien conocido que en Colombia las identidades regionales son muy marcadas y que ellas influyen en la vida política del país. En la composición de los gabinetes una de las dimensiones que los presidentes tienen en cuenta es el origen regional. Para analizar la participación regional en los ministerios se construyó una base de datos con los nombres de las 702 personas que en algún momento fueron ministros durante el siglo XX.

  • Estado Y Medios Masivos Para La Educación En Colombia (1929-2004)
    Estado y medios masivos para la educación en Colombia (1929-2004) The State and Mass Media for the Education in Colombia (1929-2004) Resumen Este libro de investigación tiene como objetivo responder a la pregunta: ¿cuál ha sido el papel del Estado en el diseño, desarrollo y los resultados de cuatro proyectos: la HJN, la televisión edu- cativa para niños, la televisión educativa para adultos y el bachillerato por radio? Su importancia deriva de considerar el papel del Estado cuando es ejecutor de proyectos educativos con el uso de medios masivos. Los capítulos abordan cada uno de los cuatro proyectos, su administración, financiación e infraestructura tecnológica y, finalmente, se produce un balance y se sacan unas conclusiones. Se analiza el papel del Estado como ejecutor en un periodo de desarrollismo con el cual estuvo comprometido cuando contó con los poderes necesarios para asegurar la búsqueda de los objetivos educacionales. La contribución más importante ha sido develar la continuidad tanto de recursos como de política pública para asegurar el éxito de los programas e indagar las causas de su liquidación. Palabras clave: Colombia, educación, Estado, proyectos educativos, radio, televisión. Abstract This research book aims to answer the following questions: What has been the role of the State in the design, implementation and results of four projects, i.e., HJN, children’s educational television, adult educational television, and high school by radio? Their importance is the result of considering the role of the State as implementer of educational projects using mass media. The topics covered herein include the four mentioned projects, their management, financing and technology infrastructure; and an assessment with some conclusions.
