It is also thankful to the organizations that provided outstanding information in the six countries of the Central American region for the preparation of this report: El Salvador Permanent Bureau for Labor Justice.

Honduras Social Environmental Movement of the South for Life (MASS-VIDA). 435 435 FOREWORD For the Lutheran World Federation / World Service, Central America Program, the 2018-2019 Central American Report on Human Rights and Social Conflict is the result of the work and commitment that the Central America Regional Human Rights Monitoring and Analysis Team makes every year to make visible what the situation of rights in the region is. In its fourteenth edition, the report accounts for the vulnerabilities, risk situations and human rights violations faced by our Central American populations. This document offers data, reliable and verified information to have elements that allow you to analyze the contexts and understand the regional problems that afflict, above all, the most vulnerable populations, who face impotence with the negligence and corruption of their governments, who, in general, does not feel represented by the political class, which causes cracks in the democratic system because these governments are not guaranteeing the rights of the population, a topic broadly addressed in the first part of the Report. Violence and crime have put Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador in the eye of the hurricane, which among other causes, have significantly increased migration. A special case is that of Nicaragua, which has been experiencing a crisis of violence since April 2018, over which communities, civil society organizations, and the media have denounced the repression of the government in the face of social protests. These issues are presented in the second part of the document, which emphasizes gender violence, and addresses sensitive issues such as femicides, pregnancy in girls and adolescents; for instance, in Nicaragua, the rights of women who disagree with the government have been violated, and many of them have been arrested. In this context, the 2018-2019 Central American Report on Human Rights and Social Conflict presents advances and setbacks in the fulfillment of rights in the region, where these situations are the product of structural causes that do not allow the majority of the population to be able to enjoy them with dignity and increase the gaps in inequality, inequity, and exclusion. We appreciate the efforts of the Central America Regional Human Rights Monitoring and Analysis Team, for this document that constitutes a valuable contribution for the region and is an important input for organizations, human rights defenders and governments to improve and comply with the policies and laws to protect the most vulnerable populations and create spaces, so that the population expresses itself, takes into account and guarantees the full fulfillment of their rights.

  • Central America Weather Hazards and Benefits Assessment

    Central America Weather Hazards and Benefits Assessment

    The MFEWS Central America Weather Hazards and Benefits Assessment For May 22 – May 28, 2008 1) Many localized areas of the Limon and Heredia provinces of Costa Rica, as well as the San Juan and Atlantic departments of Nicaragua are experiencing a 3-4 dekad late start to the Primera rains. In addition to a below-normal Apante season, the current lack of rainfall has affected April bean harvests, as well as emerging rice and maize crops. Hazards Assessment Text Explanation: Large scale ridging and dry air transport have resulted in the suppression of significant rainfall for much of Central America in the last seven days. The heaviest rainfall totals during the last observation period remained along the Pacific side of Central America, with totals ranging from 30 – 50 mm in the southern highlands of Guatemala and coastal areas near the Gulf of Nicoya in Costa Rica. In El Salvador, Honduras and Nicaragua, little to no rainfall accumulation in the last week has resulted in a continued delayed start of the Primera season in many areas, as precipitation totals have continued to drop further below normal. The Limon and Heredia provinces of Costa Rica, as well as, the Atlantic departments of Nicaragua near the San Juan River, have experienced the worst of the dryness as decreased soil water along the Costa Rica / Nicaragua border may impede the development of bean, rice, and sorghum crops over the next several weeks. Soil moisture deficits have also been felt in localized areas of the Chiriqui province in Panama due to the weak Primera rains.

    Basques in the Americas from 1492 To1892: a Chronology

    Basques in the Americas From 1492 to1892: A Chronology “Spanish Conquistador” by Frederic Remington Stephen T. Bass Most Recent Addendum: May 2010 FOREWORD The Basques have been a successful minority for centuries, keeping their unique culture, physiology and language alive and distinct longer than any other Western European population. In addition, outside of the Basque homeland, their efforts in the development of the New World were instrumental in helping make the U.S., Mexico, Central and South America what they are today. Most history books, however, have generally referred to these early Basque adventurers either as Spanish or French. Rarely was the term “Basque” used to identify these pioneers. Recently, interested scholars have been much more definitive in their descriptions of the origins of these Argonauts. They have identified Basque fishermen, sailors, explorers, soldiers of fortune, settlers, clergymen, frontiersmen and politicians who were involved in the discovery and development of the Americas from before Columbus’ first voyage through colonization and beyond. This also includes generations of men and women of Basque descent born in these new lands. As examples, we now know that the first map to ever show the Americas was drawn by a Basque and that the first Thanksgiving meal shared in what was to become the United States was actually done so by Basques 25 years before the Pilgrims. We also now recognize that many familiar cities and features in the New World were named by early Basques. These facts and others are shared on the following pages in a chronological review of some, but by no means all, of the involvement and accomplishments of Basques in the exploration, development and settlement of the Americas.

    China-Venezuela Economic Relations: Hedging Venezuelan Bets with Chinese Characteristics1

    Latin American Program | Kissinger Institute | February 2019 Chinese President Xi Jinping, right, shakes hands with Venezuela’s President Nicolás Maduro, Sept. 22, 2013. © Lintao Zhang / AP Photo China-Venezuela Economic Relations: 1 Hedging Venezuelan Bets with Chinese Characteristics LATIN AMERICAN PROGRAM LATIN AMERICAN PROGRAM Stephen B. Kaplan and Michael Penfold KISSINGER INSTITUTE Tens of thousands of Venezuelans raised their hands toward the sky on January 23, 2019, to offer solidarity to legislative leader, Juan Guaidó, who declared himself interim president of LATIN AMERICAN PROGRAM Venezuela during a rally demanding President Nicolás Maduro’s resignation. Refusing to rec- ognize the legitimacy of Maduro’s May 2018 re-election, Guaidó cited his constitutional duty as the head of the National Assembly to fill the presidential vacancy until new elections were called. Hand in hand with Guaidó, the United States unequivocally supported his declaration, recognizing him as Venezuela’s head of state. Backed by Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Co- lombia, Israel, and Peru, President Trump said he would “use the full weight of United States economic and diplomatic power to press for the restoration of Venezuelan democracy.” More recently, Spain, the United Kingdom, France, and Germany also recognized Guaidó as interim president after Maduro failed to call new elections. The United States also backed its position with some economic muscle, imposing sanctions on Venezuela’s state-owned oil company, Petróleos de Venezuela, S.A. (PdVSA), saying that all PdVSA assets, including its oil sale pro- ceeds, will be frozen in U.S. jurisdictions. 1 The authors would like to thank Cindy Arnson and Robert Daly for their insightful commentary about China-Latin American relations, Marcin Jerzewski, Beverly Li, and Giorgos Morakis for their superb research assistance, and Orlando Ochoa, Francisco Monaldi, and Francisco Rodríguez for invaluable conversations about the current state of the Venezuelan economy and oil sector.

The drought department and elevated river levels conditions have negatively impacted throughout Guatemala. The potential for corn and coffee production. additional heavy rainfall during the next week is expected to sustain the risk for localized river/flash flooding and landslides in Guatemala. 2) Poorly distributed rainfall since the beginning of March has led to growing moisture deficits and deteriorating ground conditions across several departments in southern Honduras and Nicaragua. Cropping activities could be negatively impacted should rains remain below- average. Abundant rainfall across northern Central America led to flooding during the past week. During the past week, copious amounts of rain (>75mm) were reported across Guatemala, Belize, western Honduras and western El Salvador. The highest precipitation totals were recorded along the Pacific coastline of Guatemala (~300mm in San Jose, Guatemala). The torrential rains caused landslides and flash/river flooding in the Alta Verapaz, Chimaltenango, Solola, Escuintla, Izabal and Petén departments of Guatemala. The past week’s rain followed several weeks of above-average rains which raised rivers above alert level in the Petén, San Marcos, Zacapa, Santa Rosa and Izabal departments of Guatemala and caused landslides in the Huehuetenango department.

EXISTING PROBLEMS AND TARGETS OF THE MASTER PLAN The study revealed that 30% of the Target Area for Disaster Prevention is occupied by flood or landslide hazardous area and 15% of the total population live in those dangerous areas. The target of the Master Plan is to minimize the damage and avoid any loss of human lives by flood and landslide even with a hurricane of the Mitch scale. In order to attain this goal, a master plan composed of non-structural measures and structural measures was formulated. 2. MASTER PLAN PROJECTS The Master Plan has been planned to achieve the targets by the projects in Table 1.
