  • The Coast Guard's Floating Guantánamos
    The open waters between Ecuador and Colombia, from which Jhonny Arcentales departed. Credit Glenna Gordon for The New York Times On nights when the November rain poured down and he had not slept at all, Jhonny Arcentales had visions of dying, of his body being cast into the dark ocean. He would imagine his wife and their teenage son tossing his clothes into a pit in a cemetery and gathering at the local church for his funeral. It had been more than two months since Arcentales, a 40-year-old fisherman from Ecuador’s central coast, left home, telling his wife he would return in five days. A cuff clamped onto his ankle kept him shackled to a cable along the deck of the ship but for the occasional trip, guarded by a sailor, to defecate into a bucket. Most of the time, he couldn’t move more than an arm’s length in either direction without jostling the next shackled man. “The sea used to be freedom,” he told me. But on the ship, “it was the opposite. Like a prison in the open ocean.” By day Arcentales would stand against the wall and stare out at the water, his mind blank one moment, the next racing with thoughts of his wife and their newborn son. He had not spoken to his family, though he asked each day to call home. He increasingly felt panicked, fearing his wife would believe he was dead. Arcentales has wide muscular shoulders from his 25 years hauling fishing nets from the sea. But his meals now consisted of a handful of rice and beans, and he could feel his body shrinking from the undernourishment and immobility.

  • 35. Addressing Sexual Misconduct in The
    Naval Affairs Program Briefing Note # 35 ADDRESSING SEXUAL MISCONDUCT IN THE CAF If you have watched the news lately, you will have seen that sexual misconduct in the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) has been receiving attention. Like all big organizations, the Canadian military has had its share of bad behaviour among its personnel and over the years there have been incidents of sexual misconduct. It has been stated on numerous occasions that this behaviour is unacceptable. Abusive behaviour by personnel reduces the effectiveness of the military forces as a whole, and is contrary to the tradition of honour in the CAF. It is also contrary to the desire expressed in the 2017 defence policy Strong, Secure, Engaged to increase the number of women in the CAF. If women are to join the CAF, they must not be subjected to a workplace that harms or demeans them. Women must know that misconduct will be taken seriously and they must feel able to report incidents without a negative impact on their career progression. The problem of sexual harassment in the CAF was recognized in the late 1980s and there were attempts to address it, but incidents continued to be reported. In the late 1990s, the CAF implemented more intense training in an attempt to address the problem. The early training programs were a start, but sexual misconduct continued. In 2014, the CAF was back in the media. In the wake of the media reports about sexual misconduct, then-Chief of the Defence Staff, General Tom Lawson, announced an external, independent review of the military.

Spain Reportedly Urges Biden to Reverse Moroccan Deal as Nations Press UN on Peace Effort by Morgan Artvukhina The non-self-governing territory of Western Sahara has seemingly become a pawn in greater disputes, with Morocco’s claim to rule the country being affirmed by the US in exchange for the normalization of relations with Israel, and now Spain is pushing for its ally in Washington to reverse the decision. During a phone call with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Friday, Spanish Foreign minister Arancha Gonzalez Laya asked Washington to reverse its December 2020 recognition of Morocco’s claim of sovereignty over Western Sahara, according to Spanish paper Ei Confidencial. which cited “sources familiar with the deal between the two ministers.” A brief readout of the conversation posted by the US State Department makes no mention of the appeal; however, past conversations about Western Sahara haven’t made their way into official statements, either. Western Sahara is a former Spanish colony, but since colonial forces withdrew in 1975, Madrid has continued to play a major role in Saharawi politics, most recently allowing Brahim Ghali. leader of the Saharawi liberation group Polisario Front, to be treated for COVID-19 at a Spanish hospital. According to El Confidencial, however, Gonzalez’s request is part of a larger spat between Madrid and Rabat that includes Spain’s exclaves of Ceuta and Melilla, surrounded by Morocco on the North African coast.
