Initial Report Submitted by Nicaragua Under Article 35 of the Convention, Due in 2009*, ** United Nations CRPD/C/NIC/1 Convention on the Rights Distr.: General 20 July 2020 of Persons with Disabilities English Original: Spanish English, Russian and Spanish only Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Initial report submitted by Nicaragua under article 35 of the Convention, due in 2009*, ** [Date received: 8 May 2019] * The present document is being issued without formal editing. ** The annexes may be consulted in the files of the Committee secretariat. GE.20-09725 (E) 231020 261020 CRPD/C/NIC/1 I. Introduction 1. Nicaragua has a land area of 130,373.5 square kilometres (km2),1 which has now been extended by 90,000 km2 of the Caribbean Sea, an area it obtained the rights to through the International Court of Justice. Serving a population of 5,954,900 inhabitants, 2 the Government of Reconciliation and National Unity takes seriously its commitment to provide comprehensive support to persons with disabilities through social, economic and political programmes. Persons with disabilities themselves drive progress in the attainment of their rights through the direct participation of their representatives in federations and associations. 2. The State and Government have led a determined fight to restore the rights of the Nicaraguan population through State institutions, trade organizations and social movements, thus fully re-establishing lost rights that were denied for 16 years by the neoliberal leaders who reversed the progress that had been achieved during the first phase of the Sandinista Popular Revolution in the 1980s. 3. The 2012–2016 National Human Development Plan sets out lines of action for building an egalitarian, fair and compassionate society that is committed to the fundamental values of Nicaraguans from all of the country’s communities, and especially from historically excluded groups, such as persons with disabilities, that are now being prioritized and actively integrated. 4. The return to power of President Daniel Ortega in January 2007 has helped to secure absolute stability and the recognition of the rights of persons with disabilities, thereby improving the standard of living of a segment of the population who have seen their rights restored in the areas of equality, fairness, respect for their ideas, health, rehabilitation, education, employment and self-employment. In addition, there is now greater awareness; infrastructural work has been carried out to ensure the accessibility of public, private and community spaces; laws have been adopted; and international treaties and protocols have been recognized. 5. By ratifying the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, Nicaragua acknowledged on the world stage that it must work to secure rights, with all public servants sharing a duty to implement the law. Nicaragua has also now recognized the Optional Protocol before the United Nations, and this has allowed for significant progress to be made on the basis of social justice, Christianity, socialism and solidarity. 6. As a State, Nicaragua sees as a benefit and an opportunity its duty to submit this report, which reflects the progress achieved since it ratified the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. This instrument is leading the country to achieve extraordinary goals in terms of the enjoyment of rights, driven mainly by the social and economic policy adopted by the Government of Reconciliation and National Unity. II. Background 7. The executive branch of the State of Nicaragua has been the main promoter of rights restitution, especially for persons who are vulnerable to danger, natural disasters, poverty, social exclusion and discrimination on account of politics, religion or sexual orientation. 8. The rights of campesinos and workers were realized during the government of the Sandinista Popular Revolution, paving the way for agricultural reform with a leading role for young people. Through social security, the reform benefited thousands of Nicaraguans who had suffered the adverse effects of the violent assault of the 1980s and had been left with a disability, irrespective of their allegiance. In addressing this situation, the Government paid particular attention to the health and rehabilitation, both in Nicaragua and abroad, of those persons who had acquired a disability, thus recognizing their rights. 9. All the rights realized during the revolution in the 1990s and the early 2000s were revoked by the successive neoliberal Governments that claimed the executive and legislative 1 Based on data provided by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Nicaragua on its web page. 2 Data from the 2013 Human Development Report published by the United Nations Development Programme. 2 GE.20-09725 CRPD/C/NIC/1 power to reform laws, decrees and protocols, thereby condemning persons with disabilities to social, economic, political and cultural exclusion. 10. On 19 September 2006, during his election campaign, presidential candidate Daniel Ortega signed a memorandum with the Nicaraguan Federation of Associations of Persons with Disabilities that clearly set out the steps he would take to recognize and realize the rights of this segment of the population during his term of office. 11. As a result of this memorandum, Nicaragua signed and ratified the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and its Optional Protocol. Demonstrating its commitment to the Convention, it then embarked on a process of discussion and analysis of in-force disability laws that led to the adoption of the new Persons with Disabilities Act, which is in line with the Convention and supports the comprehensive enjoyment of the rights of persons with disabilities through the efforts of public and private institutions and society as a whole. 12. Efforts are under way to recognize and restore the rights of persons with disabilities by coordinating the work of Government institutions, the private sector, the National Council for the Promotion and Application of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and the parliamentary committees on accessibility, inclusive education, sports and legal affairs. 13. Furthermore, since persons with disabilities are represented in the Office of the Civil Branch of Government for Organizations of Persons with Disabilities, they are able to engage in horizontal communication with the executive branch and government institutions. 14. Work has also been done in the legal sphere to recognize the rights of persons with disabilities. 15.

    Línea de Transmisión Eléctrica 230 kV del Proyecto SIEPAC-Tramo Nicaragua Estudio de Impacto Ambiental TRAMO 2: COMARCA EL MARIMBERO HASTA COMARCA EL CACAO (LA PAZ CENTRO) MEDIO ABIÓTICO El sector norte del tramo se localiza en el Departamento de Chinandega, entre el río Aquespalapa y la Cordillera de Los Maribios. El resto de la superficie del tramo (hasta La Paz Centro) se localiza en el Departamento de León. Este tramo se encuentra inmerso en la Zona de Vida Bosque Seco Tropical. Esta Zona de Vida presenta un clima subhúmedo y cálido, con precipitaciones entre 1.000 y 2.000 mm al año (con cinco meses secos bien marcados) y un promedio de temperatura de 28º C. El relieve es mayormente plano en toda su extensión. El Bosque Seco Tropical ha sido totalmente despojado de su vegetación original, observándose un paisaje en su mayor parte abierto, con actividades agrícolas y ganaderas. A lo largo de todo el tramo el paisaje es dominado por cultivos y ganadería, sin embargo quedan algunos fragmentos de los ecosistemas que debieron existir en forma natural: Bosque tropical semideciduo latifoliado aluvial de galería, Deslizamiento de rocas con escasa vegetación y sabanas graminoides cortos de arbustos decíduos. a. Marco geológico local Este tramo afloran muy cerca del Puerto Sandino las rocas pertenecientes al Grupo Coyol Superior conformado por rocas ígneas volcánicas o extrusivas, entre las principales están las ignimbritas, tobas dacíticas, brechas volcánicas, flujos de lavas andesíticos y basálticos que se originaron durante el pleistoceno. Más hacia la costa Pacífica afloran rocas pertenecientes a la Formación El Fraile y hacia el centro el Grupo volcánico El Tamarindo.

CUADROS, FIGURAS Y GRAFICAS ¡Error!Marcador no definido.¡Error!Marcador no definido.¡Error!Marcador no definido. I. INTRODUCCION La conservación de los Recursos naturales es una preocupación creciente de la humanidad, a causa de la crisis ambiental. Todo parece indicar que, en este campo, las soluciones no dependen de fórmulas preestablecidas; una propuesta puede funcionar en un contexto y fracasar en otro. Una de las fórmulas que se han venido empleando, en el caso de las áreas Protegidas, ha sido el aislamiento de las mismas, impidiendo el contacto con los factores que pueden provocar su desaparición o deterioro, es decir, rodeándolas de un entorno irreal. En muchos casos este procedimiento ha conducido al fracaso. Parece definitivo que toda solución debe ser integral y tendrá, necesariamente, que considerar la interrelación entre los aspectos ecológicos, culturales y socioeconómicos. Ello requiere, por una parte, un conocimiento amplio de las distintas variables que interactúan sobre los recursos naturales y, paralelamente, la participación de aquellos actores capaces de promover un cambio en las tendencias de uso del territorio, orientándolo hacia lo que se ha venido en llamar el Desarrollo Sostenible. Mayor complejidad requiere impulsar estos procesos en un área protegida, de las características del Refugio de Vida Silvestre de los Guatuzos, donde, como se verá, existen unas condiciones de fragilidad que -unidas al desconocimiento general de sus características y enmarcadas en la profunda crisis económica que está sufriendo Nicaragua- hacen peligrar la supervivencia de una de los humedales más importantes del país y de toda Centroamérica.
