Book excerpt: This paper aims to stimulate discussion about approaches to assistance for the half million displaced persons in El Salvador. He points out that these people, called the desplazados (displaced ones), are predominantly women and children seeking shelter from the violence of the civil war. Since they have not crossed any international boundaries, they are not officially refugees, nor entitled to any international refugee aid. Most of them fit the category of politically displaced persons. This paper provides the background information to their problems by describing: 1) the different groups of displaced people in El Salvador and the conditions and problems they encounter; 2) the ways in which the displaced are currently being helped by the governments of El Salvador and the USA, the churches and NGOs, including a discussion of why the aid is interpreted as a function of the political struggle; 3) recent efforts to relocate large numbers of displaced people to more peaceful parts of the country; and 4) recommendations for future assistance. The author concludes that the displaced people are a long-term problem. They are trying to settle in areas where people already live in poverty, so new projects must meet the needs of both the existing population and the newcomers. Coordination between the programmes of government and NGOs is essential for progress. As most of the displaced people are illiterate agricultural workers, assistance must be tailored to their specific needs. Projects including cooperative development, vocational training, low-cost housing, and employment opportunities should be initiated, and those projects already in existence should be provided with funds and technical assistance. Urban/industrial projects will be essential, as there is not enough land to support the growing population. Above all, the author concludes, an autonomous coordinating entity is required, to manage and monitor all donations. He suggests that the Contadora group of nations are in the best position to request the UN to either create such an entity, or designate an existing agency to perform this role. Eight pages of statistics on the displaced population are appended.

Download or read book Paying the Price written by Teresa Whitfield and published by Temple University Press. This book was released on 1994 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On November 16, 1989, On the campus of El Salvador's University of Central America, six Jesuits and two women were murdered by members of the Salvadoran army, An army funded and trained by the United States. One of the murdered Jesuits was Ignacio Ellacuría, The university's Rector and a key, although controversial, figure in Salvadoran public life. From an opening account of this terrible crime,Paying the Priceasks, Why were they killed and what have their deaths meant? Answers come through Teresa Whitfield's detailed examination of Ellacuría's life and work. His story is told in juxtaposition with the crucial role played by the unraveling investigation of the Jesuits' murders within El Salvador's peace process. A complex and nuanced book,Paying the Priceoffers a history of the Church in El Salvador in recent decades, An analysis of Ellacuría's philosophy and theology, An introduction to liberation theology, and an account of the critical importance of the University of Central America. In the end, Whitfield's comprehensive picture of conditions in El Salvador suggest that the Jesuits' murders were almost inevitable. A crime that proved a turning point in El Salvador's civil war, The murders expressed the deep tragedy of the Salvadoran people beyond suffering the heartless cruelty, violence, and deceitfulness of a corrupt military and their patrons in the U.S. government. Whitfield draws on her extensive research of Jesuit archives and private papers, Ellacuría's diaries, documents declassified by the U.S. government, and 200 interviews conducted with sources ranging from Jesuits to Salvadoran military officers, U.S. officials and congressmen to human rights campaigners. Author note:Teresa Whitfieldspent several years in El Salvador And The United States researching the murders and has also produced a television documentary of the incident, broadcast in more than eight countries. She is currently a freelance writer and television producer based in London.
Download or read book Long Journey to Justice written by Molly Todd and published by University of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 2021-02-23 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As bloody wars raged in Central America during the last third of the twentieth century, hundreds of North American groups “adopted” villages in war-torn Guatemala, Nicaragua, and El Salvador. Unlike government-based cold war–era Sister City programs, these pairings were formed by ordinary people, often inspired by individuals displaced by US-supported counterinsurgency operations. Drawing on two decades of work with former refugees from El Salvador as well as unprecedented access to private archives and oral histories, Molly Todd’s compelling history provides the first in-depth look at “grassroots sistering.” This model of citizen diplomacy emerged in the mid-1980s out of relationships between a few repopulated villages in Chalatenango, El Salvador, and US cities. Todd shows how the leadership of Salvadorans and left-leaning activists in the US concerned with the expansion of empire as well as the evolution of human rights–related discourses and practices created a complex dynamic of cross-border activism that continues today.

This book was released on 1995-10-06 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United Nations Observer Mission in El Salvador (ONUSAL) is the result of dialogue and negotiation between the Salvadorian Government and the Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front (FMLN). It constitutes the first UN attempt to mediate the settlement of an non-international armed conflict. This work studies the benefits and disadvantages intrinsic to a political body in monitoring the respect for international humanitarian law, and analyzes new requirements demanded by the enlargement of the functions of the UN. The analysis is based on the reports of the ONUSAL, prepared during its peace-making phase, and focuses on the question of the extent to which the mission succeeded in assuring a better protection of the norms of humanitarian law. The work is based on a Ph.D. thesis originally written in French. Tathiana Flores Acuña received her doctorate from the European University Institute in Florence in 1994. She now works for the Organization of American States in Costa Rica.
