No more genocide or massacres of ethnic minorities by Ricardo Sanchez-serra * the world has appreciated horrified genocide, mass killings and massacres of minorities by majority ethnic groups or the State, for reasons political, religious, cultural, racial, ancient rivalries. The massacres of Salsipuedes against Charrua indigenous and Napalpi against natives of Chaco, the Holocaust of the Jewish people by the nazis, the Armenian genocide (perpetrated by the Turks) and Rwanda (hutus against tutsis), Stalin’s great purge (against the Tatars and other minorities), Japanese Nanking against Chinese-, battle of Algiers (French against Algerians), crimes in the former YugoslaviSomalia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Katin (Russians against poles), Sri Lanka (against the Tamils). Also, of the Moroccans against Sahrawis, the Turks against Kurds, ethnocide against the Eskimos, the elimination or pogroms of the indigenous minorities in many places the world and its shipments to the ghettos or reservations, are a few examples from a long list of abuses and violations of human rights, especially of minorities. As it is known, at the time the League of Nations was created to ensure peace and security, but failed; then settled the UN, which is integrated by 192 countries, there are numerous conflicts only 10% are between States – and there are more than 6,500 Nations in the world, therefore a large majority is not or does not feel represented in this international organization. To try to fill that void was created in 1991 the Organization of unrepresented Nations and peoples (UNPO in its acronym in English), a follower of the teachings of Mahatma Gandhi international institution, non-violent and democratic, that seeks to protect indigenous peoples, minorities and inhabitants of occupied territories, promoting their human rights, protect the environment and find non violent solutions to conflicts that afflict them.

Among its members are they found, for example, the Assyrians, Mapuche, Kurds of Iran and Iraq, Greeks of Albania, Chechen, afrikaners, Turkmen of Iraq, Tibet, East Turkestan, Circassians, Hungarians in Romania, Tatars from Crimea, kalahui Hawaii, Abkhazian, Inner Mongolia, Taiwan, the khmer krom, tsimichian (Alaska), Baluchistan, mon, Aboriginal Australia, among many others. To enter this international body, whose President is the Tibetan Choephel Ngawang, applicants must commit themselves to respect these five principles: 1) believe in the equality of all Nations and peoples and the inalienable right to self-determination; (2) Comply with internationally accepted human rights standards; (3) The principle of democratic pluralism and reject totalitarianism or any form of religious intolerance; (4) Reject terrorism as a form of politics; and, 5) respect all peoples and population groups, including minority and majority populations within the territories inhabited by the participants, but they belong to different ethnic, religious or linguistic groups. Several legal instruments include the human rights of ethnic minorities as well as in the Universal Declaration of human rights, international covenants, the Convention of the Elimination of all forms of Racial Discrimination, the Convention of the rights of the child, the Declaration on the rights of persons belonging to national minorities, ethnic, religious or language. The UNPO, or voice of the voiceless, participates in several committees of the UN and is an effective instrument in the resolution of conflicts. Several of its members already own self-determination and managed to have their rights respected. Close to 20 years of existence, aspire that this organism is strengthened so that you continue struggling for world peace and respect for minorities.

Ruiz Massieu

Ruiz Massieu

The ruler since before access to power should plan what they will do with the idea that planning is a rational and democratic exercise and that the fulfilment of goals and objectives are almost never achieved one hundred percent, already You should consider several variables that can affect political action. Thus, political discourse must be with breaks of the moments in which we live, in case of failure to do so this discourse can become more than demagogic. The rate proposed by Ruiz Massieu has both say slowly but surely. In terms of the conservation of power, which was the goal in the partisan politics of the moment its author, lived in that phrase is more than significant. Pace involves Cadence in the Act, the hasty can lead us to del yerro; better power is exercised with the proper rhythm of time in that we live, that rush to complacency, this almost always the less. That rush are desperate to have the power or keep it in a way almost always not licit. The people know to expect, is patient, if he is consents that their rulers are doing things well.

The desperate is not a virtuoso and art of politics imply virtue and one of them is to govern with the rhythm and pauses that are required. In policy is he admires more than merit success without a doubt that this is a great truth, it should not be but it is not. In the policy, and in particular the Mexican people success weighs more than merit, say that merit are the virtues which the citizen has and which make it different from others, with proven capacity for exercising a public office or other activity of public or private life. Merit or virtues citizen has been an undisputed discussion point from Greek philosophy. It is better to be a man or woman of merit that success, would the judgment or Greek reasoning; If so it is more useful to solve the city’s problems.

Amazon Development

Amazon Development

In such a way, to stimulate the reforestation, to concentrate the agrarian reform in the deforested areas, to create new social projects, extrativistas reserves, to value the resources you renewed are proposals that propitiate the sustainable development and can determine the recovery of the areas affected for the deforestation or bad use of the land. Under this question, it falls again the approach of the necessity of containment of the torts gifts into the region as well as the stimulaton to the net of security in the same one becomes essential, beyond detecting in the territory that activities as cattle the extensive one provokes great extension of deforestation what it allows in them to together point with illegal the agrarian occupation factors that must be breached in order to preserve the environment. For this, the technological advance, the biotechnology can assist in this process, however to using in sustainable way. In the context of the territorial occupation, the intra-regional migration made possible the reduction doses agrarian conflicts, therefore the withdrawal of the population was in search of better chances. Thus, the urban area grew what it facilitated the loss of conditions of demographic border of the region.

still, with respect to farming production, its extension comes being reduced in the direction to open space for areas with ends of ambient conservation, aboriginal land creation beyond the rhythm of transformation of the use of the land. However the intensification of this use consists of increasing the productivity of this space. This wants to say that the area of consolidated povoamento constitutes one, local where the internal expansion of the pastures together with the progress technician determines the delimitation of the located fronts of expansion. With regard to modernization of lands provoking the expansion of activities as cattle, the cotton, the soy is stimulating the agro-industrial sector and thus promoting economic conquests in the domestic market and external. In this manner, the growth of the productivity becomes explicit as well as, the sustainable use of these technologies can assist in the regional development, however, it is undeniable that simultaneously when managed this work not well technological the sustainable development is engaged. Soon, the expansion of the farming one or other extrativistas activities also finishes for determining the constitution of this technological space, delimiting bigger productivity, greater generating source of income, growth of the local urbanization what it implies in the demographic dynamics of the Amazon region as well as, in the expansion process donates to infrastructure of transport and communications. Finally, the reconfiguration of the Amazon region in elapsing of history in the aid to point out its importance in the diverse fields: economic, politicians, social and cultural. For this, geopolitics when approaching all these aspects detaches the process of development of the region. However, one becomes necessary to stand out that the sustainable development waited for the Amazonian space when involving questions as formation of the territory, the occupation of the same, the use of the land, the exploration of the natural resources, the reforestation of degraded areas, among others, in the aid to understand that the process of sustainable use, ambient preservation and in one all the regional development can occur of form accomplishes in case that it has changes a priori in the estruturao of each strategy of defense. This wants to say that the State can reach these objectives launching in the region scales of action directed toward nets of protection beyond structuralizing projects for this end.

Administration State

Administration State

Certain changes that indicate that the opposition is not a monolithic block around the realization of primary for the choice of the candidate who will face Chavez 2012 have gradually noticed. Voices that arise in relation to that the next candidate should be a candidate for transition that must be supported by all parties in a species again Covenant and perform, once elected, a Government that will allow stabilizing the economic, political and social situation of the country are already having. The idea is not irrational. In my view the conditions are not right to tear us into an internal struggle of the factors of a hit by the Government and opposition by petty interests of characters who still seek to influence Government having been guilty leading this disaster that has been the management of Hugo Chavez and those responsible for. Everyone knows those are the characters, it is not necessary to mention them, but if it is necessary to say that there are still factors that refuse to carry out the changes that are needed in the Administration State and politics in order to leave behind the traditional take away your pa put me I, without thinking about the obvious needs of the collective Venezuelan.

We have read the inconvenience of holding primaries without the definition of the CNE in relation to the electoral timetable, since this leaves us exposed to the whim of a few guiding aligned with the Government. Also, a candidate apart from the internal diatribe would unite all the factors from the beginning and would give them time to opposing factors for making a Pact of governance that will be necessary to ultra once Chavez to flee the country, as indeed it will, once the election results are known and the forces that sustain him abandon it. You will need to make political parties understand that they are about to repeat the mistake of the 2004 recall Referendum? Does it possible that older forces of political obscurantism which controlled the lives of Venezuelans and gave to the fret with the second Presidency of CAP, giving way to this? nightmare that we now call chavism? Where are the Romulo Betancourt, Rafael Caldera, Jovito Villalba, who understand that now is not their time and that they must sacrifice for the sake of first exit for this state of affairs before returning to a State of normality and political health? All are now concentrated on preparing its machinery for the primaries and the debate of whether they are or are not this year focuses its attention, without realizing that the game they are playing to the Government.
