Checking up on participation in cities The Habitat Agenda signed in Istanbul in 1996 and Agenda 21, agreed at the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio, both commit governments to increasing participation in city decision-making. What legislation, policies and rules have resulted? Are they being implemented? How have they affected poor people? A report from CARE International UK looks at the status of participation in local decision-making in six cities and is supplemented with telling quotations from urban residents. The research shows that policies are not enough. Even in those countries where legislation encourages participation, few poor communities are able to use these initiatives to improve their neighbourhoods and livelihoods. CARE reminds us that cities are expanding at an extraordinary rate. Cities in Asia, Africa and Latin America are growing by a million people a week. By 2015, 18 of the worlds 26 mega-cities will be in Asia. By 2025, Indias urban population will have grown by 280 million people the equivalent of 60 new cities the size of Ahmedabad. By 2025, 52 per cent of Africans and Asians and 82 per cent of Latin Americans will be city dwellers. Meeting the water supply, solid waste collection, sanitation and transport needs of the mass of humanity huddled into dangerous, overcrowded, frequently illegal settlements is a global challenge which municipalities are failing to meet. In the Bangladeshi capital of Dhaka, for example, only a tenth of houses have direct access to water supply inside the house and only 28 per cent are connected to sewers. Corrupt officials often ignore the law, extort payments and bully inhabitants with threats of violent evictions.
Extractions: by Paul Krugman On Wednesday the Bush administration, which says that it is for free trade and against bailouts, once again put its money where its mouth isn't. Less than two weeks ago Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill created a diplomatic incident and sent Brazil's currency into free fall with his remark about assistance ending up in "Swiss bank accounts." Now the International Monetary Fund, with Mr. O'Neill's blessing, has agreed to lend Brazil an unprecedented $30 billion. I guess it's good news that our leadership finally woke up to two uncomfortable facts: A major threat to U.S. interests is developing in this hemisphere, and doing the opposite of what Bill Clinton did isn't always a wise policy. Indeed, if Brazil hadn't gotten a loan the South American financial crisis, already comparable to the one that struck Asia in 1997, might quickly have turned into something much bigger. And yet I have a bad feeling about this. Let me make the case for the I.M.F. loan, then explain my misgivings. The good news is that Brazil's current leadership is highly responsible. In the past, I.M.F. loans went to governments that didn't collect taxes (Russia) or were committed to an unsustainable exchange rate (Argentina). By comparison, Brazil is a model of upright behavior. So why is there a crisis? With an election due in October, President Fernando Henrique Cardoso's chosen successor is running far behind two left-of-center candidates. Investors are nervous, and the result has been one of those downward spirals all too familiar from the history of currency crises. Fears that the government will default on its debt have caused the currency to plunge and interest rates to soar; since most of the debt is indexed either to the dollar or to short-term interest rates, this makes default seem even more likely.

Please let me know if there is anything that you can suggest to spread the word. !ACTION ALERT!! CALL YOUR SENATORS TO INSIST THAT GERMAN AMERICANS ARE INCLUDED IN THIS VITAL LEGISLATION SENATOR RUSSELL FEINGOLD (D-WI), at the request of German Americans, plans to introduce the Wartime Treatment of European Americans and European Refugees Study Act by October 6th. Pursuant to the proposed Act, a Commission will be established to study the US Government`s WWII mistreatment of European Americans (primarily naturalized citizens and permanent resident aliens of German and Italian ancestry) and certain Latin Americans of German and Italian ancestry. The Commission will also review the Government`s refusal to allow persecuted European refugees (primarily Jewish) entry to the US during WWII. CIVIL LIBERTIES VIOLATIONS. During WWII, German and Italian Americans, primarily resident aliens and to a lesser extent, naturalized citizens, were subject to many restrictions on their freedom including exclusion, evacuation, travel restrictions, property confiscation and years of internment. This ethnic discrimination is unknown to most Americans and the world. Millions of German American sons and daughters fought and many died in WWII to keep the world free. Meanwhile, our Government violated the constitutional rights of thousands of German Americans at home. By passage of Senator Feingold`s bill, injustices suffered on the home front will finally be acknowledged.

CAMPAIGN FOR JUSTICE Redress equity for Japanese latin americans who suffered the hearings, further redresslegislation, litigation, and congress.gov for updates on the bill status http://www.ncrr-la.org/campaign.html
Extractions: From December 1941 to February 1948, the U.S. government orchestrated and financed the mass abduction and forcible deportation of 2,264 men, women, and children of Japanese ancestry from 13 Latin American countries to be used as hostages in exchange for Americans held by Japan. Over 800 Japanese Latin Americans were included in two prisoner of war exchanges between the U.S. and Japan. The remaining Japanese Latin Americans were imprisoned without due process of law in U.S. Department of Justice internment camps until after the end of the war. Japanese Latin Americans were subjected to gross violations of civil and human rights by the U.S. government during WWII. These violations were not justified by a security threat to Allied interests. Rather, it was the outcome of historical racism, anti-foreign prejudice, economic competition, and political opportunism. The U.S. government has yet to properly acknowledge this wrongdoing against the Japanese Latin Americans. Like Japanese Americans, Japanese Latin Americans have played an integral part in the struggle for acknowledgement and redress by the U.S. government for its unjust treatment of people of Japanese ancestry in the U.S. As a result, Congress enacted the Civil Liberties Act of 1988 to make the U.S. credible in the eyes of the world on human rights issues. To accomplish this, the Act provided for an official apology and token reparations of $20,000 to eligible individuals of Japanese ancestry. It also created a fund to educate the public about the internment to prevent the recurrence of similar events.

Extractions: Washington, D.C. March 15, 2000 G ood morning. Thank you, Mariella Arias. Secretary Caldera, I want to thank you for those kind words and for putting forward such an innovative programs as GED Plus and College First. Anything we can do to bring motivated young men and women back into the world of learning is positive. You know, when we talk about Hispanic-Americans we are speaking about individuals from more than 20 different nations, with countless dialects, different skin colors, and varying tastes in food and music. Some are descended from immigrants who have been in this nation hundreds of years, even before it became a nation; others are new arrivals, having been here only a week or a year, seeking to achieve the American Dream. I am confident that we can address this challenge with innovation, that we can shed misperceptions and stereotypes, eliminate low expectations, and embrace the unique strengths that Latinos bring to education and our national community.

Extractions: RAISING STANDARDS, ENSURING PROGRESS On July 5th, Secretary Paige and his staff in the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education issued new federal regulations that implement recent changes to the standards and assessment provisions of the No Child Left Behind Act . As required by law, these regulations were drafted after a negotiated rulemaking process that was held in March of this year. The negotiating committee was comprised of parents, teachers, members of the public, school board members, and state and local education administrators. During the rulemaking process, the secretary received advice and recommendations from 140 interested parties. The final regulations include an analysis of these comments and of the resulting changes to the regulations. The final regulations are published in the Federal Register and can be found at http://www.access.gpo.gov/nara/index.html

Extractions: Council and Chambers meetings have always been great opportunities for me to learn what is really going on in the business world and the economic life of Latin America and the Caribbean. You are the people on the front lines of these economies, and responsible not only for managing change but actually making changes happen. I look forward to your questions and comments this morning, and to a continuing dialogue with you over the long-run. This morning, I'd like to take a longer-term perspective on developments in the region. One of the things I often ask myself and others is about the "trickle-down" of growth in Latin America, and what we could do to turn the "trickle" of increasing incomes into a "broad stream" of wealth irrigating all elements of society. There is no doubt that the past decade has been a decade of real success in Latin America. Growth of GDP from 1991 through 1998 averaged 3.5%, more than three times the level of the 1980's. Inflation for each of the past two years was 10%, the lowest in my lifetime and in the lifetimes of most Latin Americans. The region has shown a remarkable tenacity in its commitment to free markets, even during times of global financial crises and economic stress such as we saw in 1998. There is little doubt that, although the current year is not likely to produce glowing economic statistics, and although there are serious problems in particular countries, the overall trend is for continued macroeconomic stability and positive growth.
