DAY** Risk Perception in International River Basin Management: The Plata Basin Example*** ABSTRACT Perceptionof the risk of multilateralcooperation has affected joint internationalaction for the integrateddevelopment of the PlataRiver Basin. The originsof sovereignty concerns amongArgentina,Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay are explored in terms of their his- torical roots. The role of risk in determining the character of the PlataBasin Treaty, and the ways in which risk was managedin order to reach cooperative agreements, are analyzed. The treaty incor- porates a number of risk management devices that were necessary to achieve internationalcooperation. The institutional system im- plemented under the treaty producedfew concrete results for almost two decades. Within the currentfavorable political environment in the basin, however, the structure already in place reopens the pos- sibility of further rapid integrative steps. INTRODUCTION Joint water development actions among the five states sharing the Plata Basin-Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay-have been dominated by two factors: the enormous potential benefits of cooperation, and long-standing international rivalries.

  • Religion V1.Indd
    TOLEDO GUIDING PRINCIPLES ON TEACHING ABOUT RELIGIONS AND BELIEFS IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS PREPARED BY THE ODIHR ADVISORY COUNCIL OF EXPERTS ON FREEDOM OF RELIGION OR BELIEF The Significance of Toledo From the time the Spanish Chairmanship-in-Office of the OSCE first initiat- ed the idea of developing guiding principles on teaching about religion, there was consensus that there would be symbolic resonances if the project could be launched in Toledo, a Spanish city laden with relavant history. For that rea- son, the ODIHR Advisory Council on Freedom of Religion or Belief met with a number of leading experts in Toledo in March to commence work on the project. One of the great landmarks of Toledo is the thirteenth-century church of San Roman, which stands at the summit of the tallest hill in what once was the cap- ital of Christian Spain. San Roman is only a few minutes away from another thirteenth-century structure, the famous gothic Cathedral that remains the Primate See of the Roman Catholic Church in Spain. From at least the time Romans conquered Toledo in C.E., a religious building stood where San Roman now greets visitors. The twenty-first century visitor who enters the church is immediately struck by the unexpected, Islamic-appearing, arches run- ning along the nave. These horseshoe-shaped arches have stones along their inner-vaults that alternate in colour between a creamy-white and a sandstone- red just as do the arches in the famous eighth-century mosque in Cordoba, Spain, and in many other Islamic buildings. But what, the reflective observer might ask, are “Islamic” arches doing in a medieval Roman Catholic church? The question might seem to be answered by the fact that before San Roman was reconstructed as a Catholic church, it had been a mosque — exhibiting the same horseshoe-shaped arches — that was built when Toledo was under Muslim control.

  • The United States and the Uruguayan Cold War, 1963-1976
    ABSTRACT SUBVERTING DEMOCRACY, PRODUCING TERROR: THE UNITED STATES AND THE URUGUAYAN COLD WAR, 1963-1976 In the early 1960s, Uruguay was a beacon of democracy in the Americas. Ten years later, repression and torture were everyday occurrences and by 1973, a military dictatorship had taken power. The unexpected descent into dictatorship is the subject of this thesis. By analyzing US government documents, many of which have been recently declassified, I examine the role of the US government in funding, training, and supporting the Uruguayan repressive apparatus during these trying years.

  • Christianity and the Struggle for Human Rights in the Uruguayan Laïcité
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by ASU Digital Repository Dynamic Secularisms: Christianity and the Struggle for Human Rights in the Uruguayan Laïcité by Lucía Cash MA Thesis presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts Approved April 2015 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Linell Cady, Chair Christopher Duncan Daniel Schugurensky Carolyn Warner ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY May, 2015 ABSTRACT From 1973 to 1984 the people of Uruguay lived under a repressive military dictatorship. During that time, the Uruguayan government violated the Human Rights of its opponents and critics through prolonged imprisonment in inhumane conditions without trial, physical and psychological torture, disappearance, and a negation of freedom of speech, thought and congregation. In this project, I argue that these violations of Human Rights committed by the military dictatorship added urgency to the rethinking by religious individuals of the Uruguayan model of secularism, the laïcité, and the role that their theology required them to play in the “secular” world. Influenced by the Liberation Theology movement, Catholic and Protestant leaders simultaneously made use of and challenged the secularization model in order to carve a space for themselves in the struggle for the protection of Human Rights. Furthermore, I will argue that due to the Uruguayan system of partitocracy, which privileges political parties as the main voices in public matters, Uruguay still carries this history of Human Rights violations on its back. Had alternative views been heard in the public sphere, this thorny history might have been dealt with in a fairer manner.

It was named after Fritzjof Nansen, the Norwegian explorer and delegate to the League of Nations. This passport successfully served hundreds of thousands of refugees as a document of identity for travel until the outbreak of World War II. While the International Refugee Organization (IRO) replaced the defunct Nansen Passport Office from 1930 to 1945, it had no authority to issue identity or travel documents to refugees. The 1951 treaty, Convention of the Status of Refugees, defined the rights of refugees.

  • Discursive Processes of Intergenerational Transmission of Recent History Also by Mariana Achugar
    Discursive Processes of Intergenerational Transmission of Recent History Also by Mariana Achugar WHAT WE REMEMBER: The Construction of Memory in Military Discourse (2008) ‘Mariana Achugar has written a powerful and solid book in which she gives voice to new generations of Uruguayan youth from Montevideo and rural Tacuarembó, who enter the public debate about the contested traumatic past of recent dictatorship. As Mariana emphasizes in her work, “the goal of intergenerational transmission of the recent past is not only to remember, but to understand”, and this is precisely what youth manifested to be interested in, because understanding their past enables them to construct their national and civic identities. Mariana expands the theoretical and methodological approaches in discourse analysis and focuses on the circulation and reception of texts. She exam- ines intertextuality and resemiotization in recontextualized practices, for analyzing what youth know about the dictatorship and how they learn about it. In doing so, Mariana reveals the complexity of this cir- culation of meanings about the past through popular culture, family conversations and history classroom interactions in school contexts. We learn that the youth, as active members of society, construct the past of the dictatorship through both; schematic narratives that are avail- able in the public sphere, and from their own elaborations grounded on the materials available in the community. This is a highly relevant and much needed book for scholars interested in memory and critical discourse studies.’ – Teresa Oteíza, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, Chile ‘Memory scholars agree that the inter-generational transmission of col- lective memories is key to shaping the future, and others have noted that Uruguay is in the vanguard of using the school to transmit historical memories of the recent past to children who did not live it themselves, but no one has studied this process so closely or so well as Mariana Achugar .

The purpose of her mission was to learn about the Uruguayan legislative and institutional framework and policies in the fight against human trafficking, as well as the remaining challenges. In this report, the Special Rapporteur highlights the positive progress made by the Government, such as the enactment of domestic legislation against human trafficking, as well as the establishment of an Inter-institutional Roundtable to address trafficking of women for sexual exploitation, and specialized courts and prosecutors to address the issue of organized crime, including trafficking in persons. Nevertheless, the Special Rapporteur observed a number of challenges that the Government must address in order to effectively combat trafficking in persons and to protect the human rights of trafficked victims. Such challenges include, but are not limited to, the lack of comprehensive data on the trend of trafficking in persons, the weak coordination of anti-trafficking activities, the lack of identification and referral mechanisms for trafficked persons, and the insufficient level of facilities and services specifically designed to provide direct assistance to trafficked persons.
