Process
of Exclusion : Peru (Santiago Fischer) |
| |
In
June of this year, the country's armed forces
were ordered to dislodge thousands of indigenous
people who had been blocking roads in northern
Peru (Bagua). This led to scores
of deaths which could easily have been avoided.
The link between land and
community is essential and forms the basis
of a peasant community's identity vis-à-vis
the State. Land ownership is of
the utmost importance to such groups.
Above all else, it is absolutely vital to build
new relations between the State, the peasant communities
and the rural population. This new relationship
must ensure that agreements can be reached which
are binding on all the parties.

The
role of the North's civilian society in providing
support for people living in the Southern hemisphere
(Gaby Drinkwater) |
| |
|
The
reason why it is important for the UK's civilian
society to support Peruvians
is that the British government has recently modified
its policies and reduced the level of cooperation,
with the UK closing down its
presence in Peru. And yet, the level of investment
by major British companies is currently second only
in magnitude according to the list of direct foreign
investment in the country : nearly 20 %, with Spain
taking pole position. These companies have to show
that they are complying with human rights
while carrying out their corporate activities. |

| The
need for political engagement
(Marco Arana) |
| |
| It
is clearly possible for civilian society
to exert political influence and
yet there is a risk that the action by and for civilian
society continous to remain in the background, i.e.
that it is not taken into consideration when making
political decisions.
The current conflict in Bagua, which
led to scores of deaths, concerns the local peoples'
demands for protection of the forest,
not only to enable them to continue to live there
but also because they are aware that the Amazon forest
is the world's lung. Their demand is, therefore, not
only one of continued existence but also the protection
of the world's environment. This has to be the first
link between the indigenous people
and the various other themes: that of combined respect
for indigenous peoples and the environment.
When all this is considered, it is easy to see that
the on-going process in Latin America , i.e. the involvement
of new political actors linked to social movements,
needs not only to be guided but also promoted. This
will in due course enable in-depth, structural changes
to occur in line with the democratic process. Although
this process appears to be long in coming in Africa,
it would appear that it has already started in Latin
America.

| The
Christian roots of solidarity (Luis
Martinez) |
| |
According
to the Prophet Daniel's vision, a society which has
forgotten that a quarter of the world's population
lives on the margins is
like an idol with « feet of clay » It
is absolutely vital to fully appreciate the scale
of our society's structural violence
and to make a positive decision to fight it. Globalizaton
« without solidarity » is a totally unacceptable
social evil.
The Latin-American bishops affirmed yet again in Aparecida
that « the universal finality of resources
calls for solidarity with today's
and tomorrow's generations ». They also called
on all the forces involved « to promote sustainable
human development based on a fair distribution of
the world's riches and a proper sharing of
resources between all nations ». |
