  • The Influence of Paramilitary Culture on Disaster Response Organizations in the 2010 Haiti Earthquake
    SPEEDING INTO ACTION: THE INFLUENCE OF PARAMILITARY CULTURE ON DISASTER RESPONSE ORGANIZATIONS IN THE 2010 HAITI EARTHQUAKE Jeffrey D. Stern Dissertation submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In Public Administration/Public Affairs Patrick S. Roberts, Chair Anne M. Khademian Matthew Dull James F. Wolf October 27, 2014 Alexandria, Virginia Keywords: Haiti earthquake, disaster response, paramilitary, FEMA, Coast Guard, SOUTHCOM Copyright © 2014 Jeffrey D. Stern Speeding into Action: the Influence of Paramilitary Culture on Disaster Response Organizations in the 2010 Haiti Earthquake Jeffrey D. Stern ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the influence of paramilitary professional cultural attributes on the speed at which disaster response organizations (DROs) recognize, respond, organize, and take action in the immediate aftermath of a disaster. Three agencies are examined: the U.S. Coast Guard, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and the U.S. military’s Southern Command/Joint Task Force- Haiti. The 2010 Haiti earthquake is used as a case study to explore the influence of three independent variables: (1) paramilitarism; (2) career ladders (i.e., recruitment and professional development of staff); and (3) workforce autonomy. The purpose is to determine if paramilitary cultures help or hinder an agency’s speed into action, thereby helping improve the disaster response organizations of the future. In the case of Haiti, it finds that the combination of thick paramilitary culture, insider career ladders, and high workforce autonomy best enabled responders’ speed into action. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT ................................................. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS ......................................

By extension, Belize is faced with similar threats to our national security emanating from local and foreign actors. The most troubling are threats to our sovereignty and territorial integrity, our prosperity, and law and order. Over the past year the nation and, indeed the world, bore witness to the Republic of Guatemala’s claim that it possesses sovereignty to parts of our territory. This is despite the demarcation executed by the British and Guatemalan Boundary Commissioner in the 1859 Treaty which clearly shows what comprise the 8867sq miles of Belizean territory – a demarcation that has since been observed and accepted in published maps and State practice. The Government of Belize is particularly concerned about the activities of the Guatemalan Authorities along the Sarstoon River in Southern Belize. The Government of Belize has been calling for the Republic of Guatemala and the Organization of American States (OAS) to join the effort to develop confidence building measures for the Sarstoon River.

  • Belize 2020 Human Rights Report
    BELIZE 2020 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Belize is a constitutional parliamentary democracy. In the most recent national election, held on November 11, the People’s United Party won 26 of 31 seats in the National Assembly. Party leader John Briceno was sworn in as prime minister on November 12. The Ministry of National Security is responsible for oversight of police, prisons, the coast guard, and the military. The Belize Police Department is primarily responsible for internal security. The small military force primarily focuses on external security but also provides limited domestic security support to civilian authorities and has limited powers of arrest that are executed by the Belize Defence Force for land and shoreline areas and by the Coast Guard for coastal and maritime areas. Civilian authorities maintained effective control over the security forces. Members of security forces committed few abuses. Significant human rights issues included: allegations of the use of excessive force and inhuman treatment by security officers, allegations of widespread corruption and impunity by government officials, trafficking in persons, and child labor. In some cases the government took steps to prosecute public officials who committed abuses, both administratively and through the courts, but there were few successful prosecutions. Section 1. Respect for the Integrity of the Person, Including Freedom from: a. Arbitrary Deprivation of Life and Other Unlawful or Politically Motivated Killings There was a report that the government or its agents committed arbitrary or unlawful killings. A team from the branch of the security force responsible for a killing or other abuse investigates the allegation and then presents the findings, recommendations, and penalties to authorities.
