SUMMARY 1. On May 11, 2000, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (hereinafter “the Inter-American Commission,” “the Commission,” or “the IACHR”) received a petition submitted by the International Human Rights Law Clinic of the Washington College of Law, the Centro de Asistencia Legal Popular (CEALP), the Asociación Napguana, and Emily Yozell (hereinafter "the petitioners")1, on behalf of the indigenous peoples Kuna of the Madungandí2 and the Emberá of Bayano and their members (hereinafter “the alleged victims”) against the Republic of Panama (hereinafter the “Panamanian State,” “Panama,” or “the State”). 2. The petitioners alleged that in the wake of the construction of the Bayano Hydroelectric Dam (Represa Hidroeléctrica del Bayano) from 1972 to 1976, the indigenous peoples Kuna of the Madungandí and the Emberá of Bayano were forced to abandon their ancestral territory, which was flooded by the reservoir of the dam. They argued that as they lacked any other alternative, they were forced to relocate to the new lands offered by the State, which it said were of better quality and greater quantity, and to accept the economic compensation that was to be paid in exchange for the destruction and flooding of their ancestral territory. They indicated that nonetheless the commitments were not carried out, for the compensation was not paid in its entirety, and the lands granted did not have the characteristics offered. As regards the Kuna indigenous people of Madungandí, they argued that while the State formally recognized their right to collective property over the lands they inhabit in 1996, it has not provided effective protection vis-à- vis the constant invasion by non-indigenous persons. With respect to the Emberá indigenous people of Bayano, they argued that to date the State has failed to title, delimit, and demarcate the territory they occupy, but to the contrary has granted property title to third persons and has allowed its illegal appropriation by peasants. 1 In a note received on October 30, 2008, the International Human Rights Law Clinic of the Washington College of Law reported that cacique Félix Mato Mato, legal representative of the Comarca of Madungandí, had designated the law firm of Rubio, Álvarez, Solís & Abrego as their new representatives. Subsequently, in a note received on May 1, 2009, the International Human Rights Law Clinic of the Washington College of Law reported that the services of that firm had been rescinded. In that same communication, the granting of power-of-attorney by the General Cacique of the Congress of Madungandí to “International Human Rights Law Clinic of the Washington College of Law, Centro de Asistencia Legal Popular, a law firm in Panama, and the Organización Kuna de Madungandí (ORKUM).” In a brief of October 17, 2011, received by the IACHR on October 27, 2011, the petitioners submitted a note, issued by the General Kuna Congress of Madungandí and the Regional Emberá Congress of Alto Bayano, by which they reiterate the power-of-attorney conferred upon the International Human Rights Law Clinic of the Washington College of Law and granted power-of-attorney to attorney Horacio Rivera, for his representation in the case. By note received on March 2, 2012, the Emberá General Congress of Bayano reported that as regards their communities, the petitioner is CEALP, particularly attorney Héctor Huertas. In a brief received by the IACHR on July 13, 2012, a note was presented by which the General Congress of the Kuna Comarca of Madungandí authorizes Horacio Rivera as its representative for the instant case. 2 The IACHR takes note of the brief submitted on October 19th, 2012, by the CEALP, representative of the Emberá communities of Bayano in this case, in which it informed that “according to a decision of the Gunas indigenous authorities of Panama, the alphabet of the Guna language was approved, where the letter “K” was removed, therefore official documents should refer, from 2010 onwards, to name the Kuna with the correct

  • Are We Still the Brothers of the Trees? Perceptions and Reality Of
    Introduction Since their brief but powerful revolution against a repressive government in 1925, and the creation of PEMASKY, the first protected Are we still the brothers of the trees? land area in the world to be officially formed by an indigenous group, the Guna of Panama have gained international fame in the anthropological world for their strong will and vibrant tradition. Following the revolution, the Guna people were eventually granted a Perceptions and Reality of Environmental Conservation in the Comarca, or ‘autonomous’ territory. Guna people living in the Comarca mostly govern themselves with little intervention from the Panamanian state. The Comarca itself consists of 365 islands and about 7513 sq. kilometers of coastal land including part of a Guna Indigenous Group mountain range, virgin rainforest, and some of the most pristine coral reefs in the Caribbean. Considered the “brothers of the trees” by their own religious teaching, the Guna have always expressed an intimate relationship with and understanding of the mother earth, or “Nana,” a caring, but punishing figure who created all that we presently experience as natural, including the Guna people. Additionally, Guna tradition gives importance to a figure of spiritual protection known as a “Galu” which often guards important natural features. However, like in most once-isolated parts of the world, the group has experienced the effects of the outside world more heavily in recent years than before, especially since the construction of a road into the Comarca in 1970 . Tourists now visit the region in greater numbers and packaged products are regularly imported into the Comarca, which lacks the infrastructure to manage inorganic waste.

  • Location Determinants of Business Services Within A
    Regional and Sectoral Economic Studies Vol. 10-1 (2010) LOCATION DETERMINANTS OF BUSINESS SERVICES WITHIN A REGION WITH LARGE URBAN ASYMMETRIES RUBIERA, Fernando* PARDOS, Eva GÓMEZ-LOSCOS, Ana Abstract We carry out an analysis of the determinants of location for business services within a region, as opposed to the more usual comparisons among nations or regions. The expected higher concentration patterns at this level can be further biased when one or more urban centers have a disproportionate weight in regional economic activity. We propose an econometric analysis of location determinants (scale, urbanization and agglomeration economies, human capital and infrastructures) taking into account the influence of this kind of asymmetry. To this end, we identify one region with this characteristic (a disproportionate weight of the capital city’s share with respect to the total, as shown via several location coefficients), namely the Spanish region of Aragon. Using intra-regional data, our results show that including the capital city in the regressions or not alters the conclusions on the determinants of location. Keywords: Business services, spatial economics and services location. JEL: L84, R12 and R11. 1. Introduction Business services are non-financial services that contribute as intermediate inputs to improving business competitiveness through interactive co-productions. They include not only traditional activities such as rentals, accounting, security or cleaning services, but also advanced activities such as computing, engineering, R&D or advanced consultancy services. These are branches that are defined as strategic for the rest of the economic activity sectors in a country or region. Their important contribution to the economic growth of a region may be summed up as follows.

Email addresses: [email protected]; [email protected] and [email protected], respectively. The authors wish to thank the anonymous reviews for their input. This article was published with the support of the Universidad de Los Lagos and within the PIP 0838 results framework. Date received: February 19, 2020. Date accepted: June 15, 2020. Abstract This article examines rural development in the North Andean region of Río Negro province, Argentina. The authors analyze an environmental area suitable for extensive rural development that is not fully integrated as a productive area. Additionally, this article associates present difficulties with structural contradictions inherent in its regional incorporation to the national and provincial administrations. It then investigates the significant terms that characterized territorial policies, while illuminating how these terms viewed the inhabitants of the region and their activities. Finally, the article goes on to expose how the limits to the dynamics of integration are sustained by growth models that, based on notions of progress, development, and innovation, have overlooked local productive actors. Keywords: rural development; progress; technical innovation; northern Andean region; territorial integration; economic policy. 1. INTRODUCTION This article examines rural development in the Andean region of Rio Negro province, Argentina. The article contributes to the debate on rural development, both from economic and multi-causal perspectives (Garcés, 2019), as well as from other perspectives that seek to improve the way theoretical considerations are transformed into policy interventions (Lattuada et al., 2015).

This paper sheds light on the perceptions of sustainable rural development among international immigrants living in municipalities with fewer than 500 inhabitants, which are already the home to some ‘cosmovillagers’. If immigrants’ views are left unattended, an important part of reality will be lacking in the picture of mountainous areas because today immigration is qualitatively relevant in rural Europe. This paper aims to answer the following questions, among others: What dimensions of sustainability are underscored? What are the main challenges for sustainability and the proposals for improvement? What are the local sustainability challenges? This paper provides research results and insights based on original data gathered during fieldwork in the Pyrenees as well as analyses of documents, maps and statistics.

  • La Manchuela De Albacete Report
    La Manchuela de Albacete, 2017 Activity report 1 General concept Within the communities that form Wikimedia, there has been for years the figure of Wiki Takes. It consists on taking pictures of a place to be used in all wikimedia projects, uploading them to Wikimeia Commons and then using them in the Wikipedias, Wikivoyage and other projects. To this activity of taking images can be added the one of editing in the projects themselves. Spanish local chapter, Wikimedia España, has carried out several of these activities in different places of the Spanish geography. Until now we had limited ourselves to small places, sometimes as small as a building, in other cases extended to an entire municipality. On the other hand, Wikimedia España supports the initiative No Municipality of Spain without a Photo, which seeks to have at least one representative image of each municipality in the state. When it started almost 25% of the municipalities were not visible in Commons. The figure has been reduced to 15% but still high. In addition, these missing municipalities tend to be Carcelén had just two pictures in Commons. concentrated in specific comarcas. It is therefore appropriate to propose activities at the regional level. This activity combines the Wiki Takes structure with the comarcal scope.. Why la Manchuela La Manchuela de Albacete comprises an area of 1750 km2, populated over 28 000 people in 24 municipalities. Its geographic definition is recent and its administrative reflection -Mancomunidad de la Manchuela- includes El Herrumblar, a Cuenca municipality which we have left out of the activity due to simplification needs.
