Compliance Aspirations

the liquefaction of the ICE

Write
not know, but perhaps the story that appeared in the newspaper "Clarín" of today's date, violates my chest a poet, he says eloquently have zero doubt that all items of a small poet since 1992 to date, ie since the Rio Summit and the future outlook, especially for Argentina, assumed proportions beyond what one could call great concern.

Our glacier "Ameghino" has been reduced by 35 meters in the last 10 years.

If we compare the photograph on the same glacier in 1931, clearly shows that we have already lost a staggering 3 miles.

no longer enough to assess whether we are able to reverse the rise in temperature, but ARGENTINA, by drinking water reservoir, you should take, now, considering that the great powers only concerned with oil, black gold to be coins for today and tomorrow uncontrollable disaster, the most urgent measures needed.

Poet, perhaps most fundamental ignorance, lack of technical words not only to warn but to demand.

However, there are some measures that would be indispensable, especially in Argentina and throughout the world, meaning to get to work without delay in many aspects that can at least mitigate the progress of the environmental temperature.

The concept of the poet passing year and 90 of their fate, nevertheless maintained his devotion, his love for our Mother Earth, can be taken, without delay!, Other measures outside you know the great scholars in the field, some who consign then himental principle to defend the Planet:

• Reforestation. For each tree should be planted two to boot.
• Using solar panels to generate power, easily achievable, considering the developments in Germany in this regard.
• Rapid deployment of wind energy, absolutely achievable. Some small towns in Argentina have successfully tried really suggestive, but not made known to the urgent need to do that we have.
• Mass production of vegetable oil, which, from development in Argentina, has been a small little factory, perhaps because economic interests maintain this fundamental advance in position not to proceed.

Apel, almost desperately, or specialists who could bring important for him.

I'm tired of saying: Let's do it now, tomorrow will be late.

Have we reached that morning? Rodolfo

TRIALS - Treatment environmental information: the challenges of environmental journalism

Posted by: Chasqui American Journal of communication

Hernando José Antonio Alcocer

enormous economic development that emerged from the second half of the fifties of last century, has brought a progressive deterioration of the environment on our planet. Gradually, in response to these environmental problems, has been developing an environmental awareness among social groups increasingly numerous (especially in more developed societies). This growing environmental concern noted in the data provided some opinion polls: in Spain For example, a study by the Center for Sociological Research in 1997 gathered that 72 percent of the English considered an urgent and immediate environmental conservation, a recent survey for the year 2002 (conducted by the Institute of Youth) , showed that 88 percent of young people would be willing to work selflessly in defense of the environment.

means of public communication, in social institutions responsible for environmental monitoring, have established themselves as bearers and defenders of these norms and values \u200b\u200bthat each group strives to maintain or preserve. However, with this growing social concern issues environmental there appears to be a consistent response from the media. The poor treatment of these issues is justified communication institutions in the low priority the public attaches to this content, "the interest of the audience for science and the environment is nonexistent or, at best, passive in nature." (Martínez Valdés, M., 2003).

issues related to the environment are still not become part of the daily agenda of the media, compared to other events to which the intended MCM own spaces or sections (politics, society, culture, television, etc.).. When there are news about ecology or nature in the media, often do into sections such as Company or Local, instead of appearing under specific headings that give more to environmental problems. This lack of spaces on the media, environmental treatment, has helped to encourage specialization in journalism. The professionals in charge of the news on ecology are often specialists in other subjects (National, Local, etc.), And eventually, are makers of information on environmental issues. Until very recently, as noted by Arturo Larena (2002) "most of the journalists who were incorporated into this specialty information were self-taught who have specialized vocation and experience."

Today there seems to be from the Faculties of Information and Communication, a clear answer to remedy this lack of academic and professional training. As noted by Dr. Victoriano Garza Almanza communication (1999), this concern has arisen training first in the more developed countries, "in the U.S., more than 25 universities offer from courses and workshops to degrees or doctorates in science communication, science journalism environmental writing, environmental journalism, etc., aimed at journalists, researchers or people interested who want to learn to write on matters of science and the environment, or to make disclosure. "

also from the media themselves seem to begin to grant the environmental journalism professional status it deserves, and from this perspective is emerging from a concern for professionals trained in this scientific discipline. In this regard, the Association of Journalists Environmental Information organizes courses, meetings and seminars as well as having created the first scholarship to major in Environmental Journalism in Spain.

Environmental Information Processing.

With environmental information has been given the paradox that although since the company is growing interest in these issues from the media continues providing a poor response to this demand for information. As noted Martínez Valdés (2003), this has been due largely to "media makers are deciding for the audience before asking her if interested or not the issue." Currently in Spain none of the ten largest circulation daily newspaper offers a special section on the environment, and equally, very few radio and television programs on nature and ecology.

This lack of commitment of the institutions communicative with proper treatment of environmental information has certainly encouraged the audience apathy. This indifference, coupled with other factors as the scarcity of paper, the diversification of advertising, etc., has been reflected for example in the crisis of the literature on nature and environment. Following the English case, as pointed Joaquín Araujo, "in recent years have closed five journals Nature and Environment (Ecosystems, Ecology International, Scenes of the World, Biological and Earth)" which has meant that the number of readers has increased from 60,000 to more than a few thousand. The treatment

catastrophic preventive journalism

Following the treatment of ecological information, has been in the media tend to reduce environmental issues only to news reports and disasters. As noted by Professor Lozano Ascencio (1995), "we all know that the environmental information conveyed in the media, on many occasions, is in the wake of disasters that capture front pages and helps the citizen street pay attention to environmental issues. "

Reducing environmental issues catastrophic events finds its justification in that lack of specialization periodísitica. The lack of specific training to prevent journalists understand and manipulate the elements of the environmental sciences. This situation causes communicators choose the most part by the selection of those facts about disasters and natural disasters, leaving unfilled happenings of environmental significance less flashy but more critical.

Also, this treatment alarmist, on many occasions, has compared the risks contrasted with those purely hypothetical or nonexistent. And at the same time, this negative view has contributed to the media appear to the public as defenders of nature, once the disaster has already occurred, carrying out firefighting efforts.

activity in general information, and environment in particular, should have among its tasks the formation of the hearings on ethical values \u200b\u200band solidarity. This is what some authors called "preventive journalism." As Professor Vincent Romano (2003), "not only ascribed to the media to inform the task of disseminating knowledge. They are also responsible for the training of citizens, extending the democratic will, and critical awareness, differentiating. The fulfillment of this noble mission can be inferred from the contents. "

Public communication is called to play a decisive role in the disclosure of those aspects in line with a balanced development of resources to defend those policies based socio-economic processes and environment friendly technologies, and denouncing and criticizing government policies and business productive development which ignores and degrades the environment. Julen Rekondo (2003) defines environmental journalism as "journalism in establishing complicity with the citizen journalism constant appeal to the attitudes and behaviors of people, who call to action, to behavior modification. "

journalistic specialization

This preventive role requires professionalism on the part of those responsible for the media, especially journalists covering environmental issues. Environmental journalism should aim to train professionals specialized in the treatment of these issues, anticipating events, offering the greatest number of points of view, using sources, providing comprehensive data and information, etc.

The issues that shape the environmental agenda of the media are the most varied, their reference objects ranging from the disappearance of a plant or animal species, to pollution, desertification, the increase in hole the ozone layer or loss of biodiversity. Against this background, the reporter must select those items deemed of particular interest to the entire community.

The environmental community needs to understand and manipulate the elements of environmental science to grant adequate social events transcendence, and to put them in their political, economic, cultural and historical. Should provide an impartial, objective and rigorous assessment of the facts, away from the militant journalism and interested. In its work is needed in an ethical manner and thus act in an ethical manner of reporting.

relationships with news sources

environmental issues, as affecting the population as a whole can not be explained in isolation from the political, economic, cultural, etc. It would be affected. Media media must assess these relationships, and perform a task of mediation between the political and economic institutions, social partners involved in protecting the environment and the public.

To carry out this work is necessary for mediating the relations between different levels are based on trust and mutual need. But unfortunately, the reality has often been quite different: the relationship between political institutions and economic and other social actors involved in environmental issues have been governed by a certain darkness and a lack of fluency. It is also true that since political institutions each time is given more importance to communication issues. As stated from the website of the National Ecology Institute of Mexico, "is essential to have efficient mechanisms to link information society, capable of transmitting what is being done in this area, which means the instruments of policy, programs , plans and decisions are taken regarding the matter. Occasionally, MCM, when defending certain environmental policy initiatives have been carried away by their political adherence (the distance from a particular party or government), rather than a critical view on the true reality of these initiatives on the whole society. "

A clear example of these obscure information practices we find in news coverage that gave the English media about the sinking of the tanker Prestige off the coast of Galicia in 2003. According to the Environmental Movement "treatment of information by official sources, the public media and some private media has been shameful, distorting, manipulating and untruthfully on numerous occasions. Because of this situation has had to rely on sources other European states. The absence of accurate information and attempts to minimize the disaster through the media have been compared, strongly, with the mobilization of citizens against the black tide of mismanagement ... For this and other disasters is necessary to ensure the accuracy of the information from sources and agencies, as well as his journalistic treatment rigorous, open and plural, especially in the public media. "

Despite these information practices interested the different institutions responsible for reporting on the environmental surroundings seem to understand the need for independence between reporters and sources, as noted from the Mexican Institute said: "environmental authorities we have to report more and better, while the media their part to act with real awareness of its social function. "

New scenarios of environmental disclosure

The White Paper on Environmental Education in Spain (1999) suggested guidelines to promote responsible behavior, especially in television programs (cartoons, comedies, soap operas, etc.). The introduction of environmental arguments in children's programs or fiction can contribute to the popularization of environment in audiences of all ages.

Another of the recommendations referred to another of the media less frequently used in environmental diffusion: the movies. Besides eco-film documentary enjoys little acceptance, there have been few films about environmental issues. Although in the light of public response to some of them, such as Romancing the Stone (1984), Erin Brokovich (2000) and The Day After Tomorrow (2004), seems a suitable medium from which to promote environmental awareness.

Internet, a new scenario for environmental communication

New information technologies, especially Internet, are making a revolutionary change in the global information landscape. Although you still need to define the model of development of these technologies, what seems evident is that they are transforming the treatment environmental information. The use of these new expressive resources that will promote to audiences unfamiliar with these new models of socialization (children and young people) are made aware of environmental problems.

Internet and new technologies are expanding the bounds of environmental information, allowing views from local to global. The enormous possibilities for dissemination, and their expressive capabilities (multimedia) and participatory new media make these ideal scenarios from which to disseminate these issues.

The bodies involved in environmental issues have not been beyond the possibilities of distributing them Internet offers. Both political institutions (examples: National Institute of Ecology of Mexico (http://www.ine.gob.mx/), Ministry of Environment of Spain. (Http://www.mma.es/), etc. ), as environmental organizations (examples: Greenpeace (http://www.greenpeace.org/international_en/), Alliance for Protection of Forests (http://www.rainforest-alliance.org), Adena (http:// / www.wwf.es), etc) and media (examples: Biodiversity in Latin America (http://www.biodiversidadla.org/index.htm) Econatura magazine (http://www.econatura. org /), etc.), have been quick to position themselves in these new shopfront the intention of contributing to environmental awareness of the population.

Red Spots In New Tattoo

Soil burning

mines buried during the war of the Sahara are a danger for the Sahrawi people

estimated along the wall is buried about ten million of these devices













A group of activators Mine walks on dangerous ground line near the town of Tifariti, with limited means and experience and caution

IS a scary feeling. When the ground you walk on the platform on which you move, when your whole habitat becomes unstable and dangerous, your life becomes a macabre lottery at best can lead to an ongoing state of schizophrenia. In the Sahara, thousands of people are gripped by the silent threat and groundwater, and a few dozen dedicated body and soul to eradicate: they are the teams off.

Ever since the first victim of mine, back in November 1975 (coinciding with Moroccan invasion), the number of dead and wounded who have collected artifacts has not stopped growing. Since the cease-fire, 44 people have fallen victim to these traps underground and unpredictable.

Nobody knows the exact number of mines have been planted along the defensive wall that the Moroccan army built in the 80's. While some studies speak a hundred thousand units, the least optimistic (including experts from the Pentagon -EE.UU. -) raise this figure to ten million. Thus, some NGOs put the African country in the Top Ten of the countries most contaminated by this type of explosives, competing with areas like Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Cambodia, Angola or Bosnia-Herzegovina.

A recent study estimates that in the Sahara can be counted more than 53 models of antipersonnel and antitank mines, a sum that represents almost 20% of all types and models of known mines in the history of mankind. Most mines are hidden in Saharan soil from Italy, Belgium and France, although not the only providers (Spain is also among them.) Cold sweat



The distilled by the de-miners is not a normal sweat. Mata Mulana discovers Sidi, who has spent four years as coordinator of the four brigades operating in the deactivation mines in the territories liberated by the Polisario, about 18 miles from the Moroccan Wall. "With the summer heat becomes unbearable this work. The normal sweat is hot, but sometimes you realize that you sweat out is cool, I guess that's the tension," says military boasting a perfect English. Sidi

works for Landmine Action, a British NGO that since 2006 is trying to demine one of the harshest deserts on Earth and unpredictable. "It's terrible, do not know how many mines are buried here, although we have some fairly rigorous studies conducted over the past years. But in some places are of little use, because rainfall and dunes with the wind change places, and with them the mines. Our best detectors are nomads and animals that go with them, "he laments.

Sidi is in charge of demining the region of Tifariti, a small village lost in the desert that is 500 kilometers from the refugee camps of Tindouf ( Algeria). Tifariti is a historic place for the Sahrawi people. There was fought one of the fiercest fighting of the last war, made landfall there the first refugees who fled the Moroccan offensive, and that they want to return when the conflict ends. It is the land left behind, the perennial desire of all Saharawi.

Sidi has a team of eleven people to carry out their dangerous work, is charged with eight operators (two women), a driver, a deputy and a doctor, all military or former military. In the past four years have cleared 80,000 square meters of land, an area ten times larger than the entire Basque Country. The work is hard, slow and dangerous: "We are moving soon and we'll always protected by a vest, which is more placebo effect than anything else, because if one of these mines explodes while you are manipulating ... They can reach a radius of hundred meters. Imagine. Little can be done. Fortunately we have not had to mourn victims in these four years, because security measures are extreme. "

Right. The "contaminated" areas are marked with ropes and stakes of colors, depending on their dangerousness. Then go locating mines or bombs, and the third phase are destroyed or disabled. "Some can not turn them off and they put an explosive charge to destroy them," said the soldier. Operators work

sausages in a heavy blue jacket and head protection be worn a white helmet. Anyway, the red couch lying along the activators no longer a disturbing element. "The Tifariti hospital is two hours from here, and if someone is injured must be addressed immediately," says the head of the camp, "by that we carry with us a doctor and enough material to cover an injured right away. "

The first error is the last

" Now we will walk in single file. Do not touch anything and if something explodes, do not move. "Indications of Sidi Mulana not reassure anyone, and are a true reflection of the danger these people every day." In our group we have had no accidents, and more so, because Here the first error may be the last, "says the military off the gesture of one who has seen almost everything. He adds:" Every year we know of an incident, and we must work towards this end. We are proud to serve our country. Some day we will return to this earth and then we want everything to be clean, so that our people do not take more risk and do not suffer anymore than it already has had to suffer. "

What remains is a lot, but are prepared for the huge task: "The desert is full of junk, and clean everything is going to take decades. Think we can clear an area of \u200b\u200babout 25 square meters per hour. That for the bombs, but if what we are trying to defuse mines, the work slows down and we need a whole day to the same space. Sometimes there is a bomb, is another metal object, but you have to treat it like a bomb and every action takes a long time, "describes Sidi.

The Tifariti team members work for two months straight, Monday to Sunday, eight hours a day, and after two weeks rest, while taking advantage to visit their families, who are scattered in camps in Tindouf. Sidi is keen to return with his wife, who welcomed the work of her husband. "I'd rather not talk about it," spits the Saharawi military while walking on the slate floor, always with his head slanted down and the gesture of someone seeking ghosts among the rocks.

Can You Wash Your Face 4 Times A Day

"The Government must suspend arms sales to Morocco Morocco

campaign organizations 'Control Arms' demand that the English Government to clarify whether the weapons sold to the Moroccan regime is not being used in Western Sahara to violate human rights. Morocco is one of the preferred customers of Spain in defense equipment. ISABEL G.

CABALLERO, NUEVATRIBUNA.ES
Amnesty International Foundation for Peace, Greenpeace and Oxfam, organizations that are part of the campaign, 'Arms control', have asked the English Government to ensure that the weapons sold to Morocco is not in use in the Western Sahara conflict to commit human rights violations.
In 2009, Spain sold defense equipment to the Alawite regime worth 30 million euros, 28 million all-terrain vehicles and 1.7 million in aircraft, and during the first half of 2010 sales amounted to 4.13 million euros, 3.4 million are on a ship, EUR 564,484 cartridges for shotguns and rifles with smooth-bore, 110,000 euros to components of weapons of war, 14,814 euros to shotguns and rifles for hunting or sports shooting 6401 euro parts and accessories for various items. This must add a total of 50 million euros in sales authorized but not yet executed.
These organizations show their "concern" about the possible use of English in the severe events experienced in recent days in the Sahara and say they have no guarantee that the Moroccan army is using against the Saharawi people as different associations denounce pro-Sahrawi . Jordi Armadans per la pau Foundation, says that "Morocco is one of the preferred customers of Spain" and that in the past two years the sale of weapons has increased successively. It is not the first time that campaign officials 'Control Arms' place in Morocco as one of the "sensitive places" but the English government insists that all transactions are discussed very precisely and selling weapons is not being used by Moroccan police in the repression of the Saharawi people .
The Law on Control of Foreign Trade in Defence and Dual-Use, adopted by the English Parliament in 2007, stipulates that operations are denied arms sales to countries that violate human rights, remember Armadans Jordi, who believes "Morocco has given prior evidence that these sales are not made." From Amnesty International has found Morocco in 2009 increased attacks on freedom of expression, association and assembly on issues deemed sensitive to internal and external security of the state and intensified restrictions on those who advocated self-determination of Western Sahara.
Therefore, the organizations claim that "preventive suspension of authorized sales and not yet executed, about 50 million in aircraft, until independently investigate and clarify the situation" because, if true that the material has been used to violate human rights the PSOE government will be breaking the law itself that he initiative prompted precisely these organizations. "Since the adoption of the law are being very demanding for the export of weapons occurs outside legality," he adds Armadans, while regretting the "warmth" with which the Government is acting on the crisis with Morocco the Sahara. Yermo
for Francis, spokesman for Oxfam is necessary that the Joint Board (the body responsible for authorizing or not the transactions case by case) has a "more preventive capacity." This was called the Congress of Deputies in its latest opinion and also supported by the PSOE, recalls.
"Morocco destination is a concern and when there is a worsening of a conflict that is at risk the civilian population must be taken out into the open, "he says. In his view, the English government should, first, do a "diplomatic track that offers guarantees" and, moreover, authorized preventively suspend sales and not yet been made in view of "the situation is sufficiently serious, "he insists.

Only one person has got out of there and into Mauritania to have roles in this country, the sources said.

"His situation is desperate, unable to return because it is prevented from Morocco and Mauritania can not enter, I have tried and they say they are undocumented," they say. The sources explained that for unknown reasons which have led to the expulsion, but the orders have come directly from Rabat. In the same

On some occasions other NGOs have found that some of them died from dehydration. The area is also particularly dangerous for the existence of mines laid during the conflict between Morocco and the Frente Polisario.

Saharawi NGOs warn of possible use of weapons in Spanish Western Sahara events

Given the seriousness and violence of the events in Western Sahara, the organizations of the Control Arms Campaign, Amnesty International, Fundació per la Pau, Greenpeace and Oxfam, are concerned about the possibility that the weapons used by the Moroccan army to be of English origin.

Therefore, the NGOs ask the Government to ensure that the weapons sold in 2009 and 2010 not being used in Western Sahara to commit human rights violations and to suspend preventively authorized sales and not implemented, about 50 million in aircraft, until independently investigate and clarify the situation.

Morocco in 2009 increased attacks on freedom of expression, association and assembly on issues deemed sensitive to internal and external security of the state, according to Amnesty International. Moreover, the authorities have intensified restrictions on supporters self-determination of Western Sahara.

Although NGOs consider Morocco a destination concern regarding respect for human rights, in 2009 Spain made this country exports worth over 30 million euros, including 28 million in road vehicles and 1.7 million in aircraft. You authorized another 50 million in aircraft.

How To Make A (g) In A Friendship Bracelet

Immigration (Morocco and Human Rights)

By: CARLOS BENITEZ Villodre
The Alawite government refuses to accept sub-Saharan immigrants in their country. The Moroccan police carried out regularly, violent raids on villages and slums on the outskirts of the cities of the kingdom, with the sole purpose of catching, without any reasonable explanation, immigrants and refugees to leave later abandoned desert without any nothing. Only hunger, cold and rain accompanying them.



Among those arrested are always babies, children, women, including pregnant and elderly, and persons seeking political asylum in this country in the Maghreb. Furthermore, sick people are prohibited from carrying with them the medication they have prescribed.



When arrested, or even allowed to take their most essential belongings, and when these arrests were made overnight many of them have to go in his underwear.



busloads of immigrants and refugees, guarded by the army, cross at night at different points the border between Morocco and Algeria (desert) and in the middle of nowhere abandon. Precisely in these places "no man's land" are not covered mobile phones. In addition, a number of special police agents constantly Moroccan prevent, blocking any means of communication, members of different NGOs, who came expressly to Oujda to contact sports, can do so.



There are fears more than enough about these arrests and neglect, as they are considered the beginning of a mass deportation campaign in the desert, then, even Algeria, rejects these people just looking to one day live in dignity, because in their countries is a daily struggle to survive.



Obviously, these raids are nationwide, and planned in advance by the Moroccan authorities and police. Sometimes several humanitarian organizations, including Attac, Beni Snassen Association for Culture, Development and Solidarity, Doctors Without Borders, CIS and AMDH, they manage, though not without difficulties, to "circumvent" the police checks and thus provide first aid, blankets and hot meals to detainees and left sub-Saharan Africans. At other times, caravans of Human Rights defenders are assaulted by the police, on the way to Oujda, and its components are deported to the Algerian border.



is being carried out a "media war" in Morocco between the authorities and NGOs that support the immigrants. In accordance with the Council of sub-Saharan migrants in Morocco, each time they try to inform the international public about human rights violations, the authorities allege that the "illegal" attack every time they propose the fences of Ceuta , and Melilla.

Immigration (Morocco and Human Rights)

By: CARLOS BENITEZ Villodre
The Alawite government refuses to accept sub-Saharan immigrants in their country. The Moroccan police carried out regularly, violent raids on villages and slums on the outskirts of the cities of the kingdom, with the sole purpose of catching, without any reasonable explanation, immigrants and refugees to leave later abandoned desert without anything at all. Only hunger, cold and rain accompanying them.



Among those arrested are always babies, children, women, including pregnant and elderly, and persons attempting to seek political asylum in this country in the Maghreb. Furthermore, sick people are prohibited from carrying with them the medication they have prescribed.



When arrested, or even allowed to take their most essential belongings, and when these arrests were made overnight many of them have to go in his underwear.



busloads of immigrants and refugees, guarded by the army, crossing at night at different points the border between Morocco and Algeria (desert) and in the middle of nowhere abandon. Precisely in those places " no man's land "are not covered mobile phones. In addition, a number of special police agents constantly Moroccan prevent, blocking any means of communication, members of different NGOs, who came expressly to Oujda to contact sports, can do so.



There are fears more than enough about these arrests and neglect, as they are considered the beginning of a mass deportation campaign in the desert, then, even Algeria, rejects these people who seek only one day live in dignity, because their respective countries is the daily struggle to survive.



obviously These raids are nationwide, and planned in advance by the Moroccan authorities and police. Sometimes several humanitarian organizations, including Attac, Beni Snassen Association for Culture, Development and Solidarity, Doctors Without Borders, CIS and AMDH, they manage, though not without difficulties, to "circumvent" the police checks and thus provide first aid, blankets and hot meals to detainees and left sub-Saharan Africans. At other times, caravans of Human Rights Defenders are raided by police on the way to Oujda, and its components are deported to the Algerian border.



We are conducting a "war media in Morocco between the authorities and NGOs that support the immigrants. In accordance with the Council of sub-Saharan migrants in Morocco, each time they try to inform the international public about human rights violations, the authorities allege that the "illegal" attack every time they propose the fences of Ceuta , and Melilla. Obviously this is an excuse for the arrests and deportations.

This morning, the camp that had been erected in the occupied city Smara, a mile from the city, was flown by military helicopters Moroccans after an hour, was destroyed by the Royal Gendarmerie. Among the victims brutally beaten, there are some women. The Saharawi activist known Daida Abdeslam, has been arrested and imprisoned.

As police forcibly dismantled the camp, fleeing the Sahrawi citizens scattered across the desert.

safety plan carried out by the army is causing the continued persecution of the Saharawi population is cornered inside and outside the occupied cities in Western Sahara, especially when they have risen a wall "shame" than about the population concentrated in the camp set up outside the occupied city of El Aaiun. With this, police and the Moroccan army, intended to imprison the entire Sahrawi population manifested peacefully in the camp.

REPORTS: Various.

violence by the Moroccan armed forces has increased.

wounded arrive at camp and are provided with few resources at their disposal. They have also detained Sahrawi are still unaccounted for who were arrested for wanting access tansolo protest camp.

Saharawi Ministry danger warning that this camp will become a giant prison that surrounds the displaced Saharawi illustration of this is the actual construction of a wall of sand between the camp of the dignity and the occupied city of Laayoune, with the purpose of fencing to prevent that can access it.

Another way to prevent attacks are entire families trying to enter the protest camps.

More and more the military. Are going to another level, the aggression and attack on a defenseless population only claim their rights.

remember that it is civilians, entire families are totally vulnerable to any type of load violent. Similarly

every day that passes without the international community and relevant agencies to act, these human beings continue to survive with virtually no water, food and medicine because of the blockade that they have submitted.

is an urgent media gateway to provide voice and ensuring the integrity of these families and humanitarian aid to cover basic needs not allowed into the Moroccan armed forces.

We emphasize on the current presence yesterday in Rabat, the personal envoy of Secretary General of the United Nations for the Sahara, Christopher Ross.
demand appear in person in the protest camps to observe and assess first-hand as is the situation.

This mass exodus claimed RESPECT ALL RIGHTS Saharawi population.

is a massive social protest, and more than 20,000 people.

Moroccan armed forces are spreading terror among the Saharawi there remain in poor condition. They had been joined by special forces for rapid intervention, which suggests possible future actions. The remaining helicopters flying over 24 hours Haima, by way of pressure.

When people try to relax, perform consistently violent entries in the area of \u200b\u200bthe camp to terrorize them, this was the case for intervention early this morning when the army stormed the camp in order to intimidate and undermine its strength.

not maintained the distance between the armed forces and the camp.

are blocking the arrival of more people of Western Sahara to the area, they are attacking.

More than 140 vehicles belonging to the Moroccan army jeep, from a military base in the Western Sahara, have set up bases around the camp for the prosecution of the Sahrawi vehicles trying to supply it.

On 21 October one of the persecutions that are made to these Landrovers with families trying to get there, a car was stopped and stoned, the result was a broken arm of one of its occupants and the rest of the stones with injuries they received from the Moroccan police. Cars, if they arrive, come broken and bruised people.

In another case the same day came to shoot a car, and a pregnant woman lost her baby.

Sahrawis experience a state of panic due to the blockade by the Moroccan army camp access to medicines, food and water which warns of an impending humanitarian catastrophe.

We report from there that there are many food shortages. They are rejecting

telephone signals, pulling the coverage of the 2 antennas that gave signal to the area to block and silence in every way possible to the people and what happens there.

Another strategy of the Moroccan armed forces and by extension of all its special forces assault and intervention, besides attempting to kill thirst and hunger to the people, poison the water of one of the 2 wells that are in the area.

People there do not understand is why nobody does anything if you try is to get an emergency exit to breach human rights of the Saharawi people, principally, their right to self-determination as a people in the process of decolonization.

Why the media is not echoed as serious humanitarian situation? Why
after 2 weeks still no one says anything about it?

Ultimately this is a new attack of the Kingdom of Morocco to the human rights of the Saharawi people, who once again demonstrated their resilience and perseverance to ensure that justice is done and compliance with international law and UN resolutions. We urgently

freeze the Association Agreement between Morocco and the EU for breaching the Moroccan authorities of Article 2, conditional on observing human rights, as "the Moroccan authorities again demonstrate their lack of tolerance towards democratic principles and, once again, responded with police repression and the use of force to the peaceful demonstrations of the Saharawi people to defend their social and political rights more basic.

If they decide to act violently, everything points to that option, with a population so isolated and vulnerable, will be a slaughter.

WHEN THE INFORMATION IS FROM INSIDE LOCK must be attacked from outside. We can all make a difference.

Softening Cotton Linen

Sahara A tinderbox ready to explode

In the non-implementation of UN resolutions, the impotence of the Saharawi people is growing on both sides of the Wall of Shame and you can hear voices calling for a return to arms.
In October 1975, Morocco invaded by blood and fire on Western Sahara, forcing thousands to flee into the desert while being chased and bombarded with napalm, white phosphorous and cluster bombs. 35 years later, still today, this area remains one of the Territories under UN supervision since their decolonization process was interrupted in 1976 by the Moroccan occupation.

International agencies have failed to meet the Alawite kingdom with the multitude of resolutions requiring it to give effect to a process of self-determination. Its territory is still occupied almost entirely by Morocco, but the liberated territories, or cities Tifariti, Bir Lehlu, Zug, Agüenit ... which are administered by the Government of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR) - the passivity of the international community, represented by a MINURSO (UN Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara) that looks the other way when there are arbitrary arrests, disappearances and torture every day. Meanwhile, the expected peaceful Saharawi population turns to boredom and from refugee camps begin to hear calls to resume the armed struggle.

wall of shame


2,270 kilometers
Soon matter that the International Court of Justice, the principal judicial organ of the United Nations, in its opinion on Western Sahara (1975) found to apply Resolution 1514 of the General Assembly to the decolonization of the territory and, in particular the principle of self- the Saharawi people. Since then, the UN, the Council and the Assembly, has adopted dozens of resolutions on Western Sahara recognizing the right of the Saharawi people to self-determination, without any of them had an effect. This

have joined France and the U.S. efforts, with the silent complicity of other European states. Western Sahara has a dual nature international law: it is a "dependent territory", but also a "territory under military occupation" and therefore should be subject to the legal parameters of international humanitarian law and the application of Geneva Convention IV. But Morocco, the second country in the world in violating UN resolutions, surpassed only by Israel, these diplomatic commitments are worthless.

Currently, the Sahrawi people live divided between refugee camps and refugees in a foster, near Tindouf, and the occupied territories of Western Sahara. What divides the wall of shame built by Morocco has 2,720 miles and is over 160,000 protected by armed soldiers, 240 batteries of artillery, more than 20,000 km of barbed wire, thousands of armored vehicles and millions of landmines banned by international conventions.

This wall is a great military wall that divides north and south turning an entire people in the occupied territories, found only 100 km from Europe, in a giant prison. Thousands of men and women subjected to a state of siege, more like a true apartheid. The Alawite regime in the occupied territories has deployed thousands of troops and police in the cities, neighborhoods, schools and colleges to control the streets, search houses and to impose a climate of terror and fear. He stops and torture of Sahrawi and produce summary trials without due process and long and unjust sentences.



rights violation in the media Absent
The violation of human rights in the territories occupied by the Moroccan regime is the daily bread. If at first the occupation of this village was subjected to a full-scale genocide, today there are the disappearances of activists, arbitrary arrests, torture and the lack of guarantees to the police and the courts, while continuing persecution higher profile criminal trials against Sahrawi leaders and policy advocates human rights. However, it is a reality that is absent from the media, which also echo the hunger strikes are taking place Saharawi political prisoners, nor the whereabouts of more than 500 people missing, or the 151 prisoners of war. Neither the unemployment caused the Sahrawi people, which leads them to live in poverty.

The organization Human Rights Watch (HRW) has legitimate complaints of violation of Human Rights and the Sahrawi. In a report without mincing words, stated that Western Sahara is usually repress freedom of expression and the right to freedom of assembly and association of those who defend Saharawi self-determination and human rights. "The security forces arbitrarily detain Sahrawi activists suspected protesters and those who beat, torture and forced to sign confessions incriminating police, all with virtual impunity, and the courts have convicted and sent to prison by unfair trials." The report has great importance for its rigor and the solvency of the international NGO that is born, but also because it attempts to call white black on the possible violation of human rights in this conflict are rare as they tend to be torpedoed.

And, when speaking of the Moroccan regime, to forget minded analysis Western. Must start from the premise that Mohamed VI rules his country with approaches more typical of the Middle Ages. It is absolute ruler of everything that happens in this country. In Morocco, obtain citizenship while the person is considered king's subjects, otherwise their fate will always be adverse. In particular, in addition, if you're Saharawi, a people that neither before nor has been considered the subject of the Alawite ruler. In fact, territorial integrity that both defends the Moroccan regime has no value for the Saharawi people. As the Sahrawi leader Bashir Ahmed Omar "We are not Moroccan Sahrawi us. If what they claim is that we recognize that the Western Sahara our country is part of Morocco are on the wrong track. Although regime spokesmen defend the Moroccan Sahara, lie. Neither the international community itself recognizes Moroccan sovereignty over the territory and there are hundreds of documents that certify. The UN resolutions speak of self-governing territory awaiting decolonization. Clearly the last word is the Saharawi people, is he alone who must decide their future. "Even the International Court certified it in 1975-continues Ahmed Omar Western Sahara was never part of the Kingdom of Morocco or the Mauritanian set , so that nothing interferes with the right of self determination of the people. And the Saharawi know that in the history of our people our ancestors never gave allegiance to the sultans of Morocco. It is our country and we say it clearly. "Accused Morocco of occupying our territory, build a wall that divides our country, to pursue and torture our citizens, our youth imprisoned with impunity, to suppress any act of protest, of undocumented human rights activists, to plunder our wealth, settlers moved into our cities, to expel renowned Saharawi ban the visit of international delegations, not to allow the work of the journalists did not support the regime ... "said Omar.

Resistance peaceful settlement of the Saharawi population in the territories occupied by Morocco, and the effort of survival and cohesion in the camps and in the liberated areas seem to support their words and show the determination that is still strong among the Saharawi to defend their independence.

However, after 35 years of waiting for diplomatic solutions, the people's patience is wearing thin. The UN recently adopted a decision to stoop powers of enforcing human rights and if incompetent MINURSO and more and more voices clamoring Saharawi to your Government for the return to arms to resolve the conflict . Nobody wants this to happen. However, neither No one shall be liable for the Saharawi people of what would be a tragedy foretold, after years of waiting peaceful and confidence in the UN-sponsored negotiations.

A mine kills one Children in the Western Sahara

A child died and three people were injured when a mine buried in the soil to the passage of a Land Rover. The incident occurred in Bir Ganduz, south of Western Sahara. It is estimated that on both sides of the wall that divides the territory of Western Sahara Morocco has planted at least five million mines.

A Saharawi child died a few days in the Sahara desert at Bir Ganduz, when an explosive device in the ground covered Expos, one of the mines with Morocco, with the support arms of France, seeded Western Sahara.

The mine exploded when passing over a Land Rover with four passengers. In addition to the dead boy, the rest of the passengers was seriously injured. As already known by the mark left by the explosion, was dinaminta trinitrotoluene, also known as TNT.

For several hours, as has been reported an association which defends the fulfillment of human rights in Western Sahara, the victims were not being addressed or receive at the site of the explosion of any kind of medical help. They were later taken to hospital in the nearest city, Dakhla, as reported by relatives of the injured to UpIt Online.

The drama builds up with the aforementioned family, who suffered three years ago and the explosion of a mine in the same region as the recent incident. Three years ago, killed another children.

In 1997 he promulgated the Convention on the Prohibition of the Use, Stockpiling, Production and Transfer of Anti-Personnel Mines and on Their Destruction, also known as the Ottawa Convention, the place of signature. Morocco, after 13 years, has not found enough time to sign and begin to clear mines in Western Sahara.

Lots Of Cervical Mucus No Period

August 18, 1980 -2010. Thirty years of a crime muted.

The United Nations General Assembly held the first International Day of Nelson Mandela, the 192 UN member countries, in a landmark resolution, adopted last November authorizing the celebration of Mandela's birthday - July 18 - each year to recognize the contribution of the Nobel Peace Prize in resolving conflicts, promoting human rights and reconciliation. These
desagraciadamente rights and powers are monopolized, as appropriate to the interests of the Security Council and Western countries, mostly using a priori that bastardize be primarily benefits of different kinds.
We have seen manifested on 9 November that celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. At the ceremony were attended by many presidents and politicians celebrating the apotheosis as if they had won, ending the era of the wall.
The Berlin Wall, which he broke one of the most famous symbols of the Cold War and ushered in a new approach to international relations. Since its inception in 1961 until 1989, was the cover story of most major newspapers. Its collapse was not only determined by the end of a political model but also by the continued and repeated condemnation of world public opinion. However
to that, at the same time other conflicts were at their peak, such as the Western Sahara (Which undoubtedly is one of the oldest and one of the most neglected). The wall of the Sahara has not had much fame or more attention than the German. The neglect of the institutions and the media has increased, resulting in an almost perpetual helplessness. Erect
bound by Morocco since 1980, is the biggest stigma Moroccan occupation that has left the Western Sahara and its people in two. Of over two thousand kilometers, is raising from end to end with the most sophisticated weapons, shelters, trenches, ditches, fences, millions tanks, tanks, soldiers and even dogs, who every day strengthen their existence before the impotent MINURSO. The fence will harden and younger.
His best ingredients are not more than a million mines and anti antiprersonas cars, as well as cluster bombs that cause deaths and injuries among the civilian population also engendering terror, panic and fear. Thousands of Sahrawi victims of mines, many children are left in the drift, yet the international community know neither their weeping and crying.
The Moroccan government taking advantage of the carelessness of the UN and other NGOs, rather than deplore this situation, nor denies ban on landmines, and cluster bombs (Ottawa Convention (1997) and Oslo 2008) respectively. and the Saharan victims of mines, are also of political oblivion and
from the military point of view the wall is only a facsimile of other walls that their builders, suggest "fooling" their subordinates that these works will offer more security and trust your hypothetical

efficacy is highly questionable, since their two thousand seven hundred and twenty miles long and clear view described millimeter not a disappointment as the Moroccan army, but the wrecking of the political system Makhzen, and forever sealing sterility their appetites annexation.
Its effects have led to serious problems social, political, ecological and environmental issues have impacted negatively on all aspects of daily life.
Beyond the open end of which the wall was built, was also the curtain that has hidden illegal activities of injustice, plunder, pillage, torture, persecution, subjugation, harassment, etc.
is an impediment to the continued social, cultural and geographical diversity of the people of Western Sahara and other peoples.
Despite numerous reports of international organizations and the condemnation of world public opinion, different states of the European Union and some Arab petrodollars continue promoting their survival under different forms of protection. This lack of exercise of moral and political obligations that has only hardened the Moroccan stubbornness.
Now, after more than twenty years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, it seems that the reasons which prompted its demolition was knocked down along the wall. Were the Western countries, their secret services and media, which turn the symphony.
Many believed-in hope and in good faith that the orchestra would not finish their goats until they collapsed all the barriers that separate people and people in the world. Today, knowing that many remain standing and new ones are being built, accept that sin of optimism or innocence. Judging
the facts, it follows that the wave of propaganda that led to the collapse of the Berlin Wall was guided by political interests and human rights, if not granted political benefits to the Western powers, they become merely a matter of discourse.

was not French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who demanded last November to commemorate the twentieth anniversary of the collapse of the Berlin Wall in front of bundemburg by falling walls all ..!, But change is not the same feeding and support portal to another wall built by Morocco in Western Sahara keeping the people divided Sahrawi refugees (settled for more than two decades in Algeria) and those submitted by the Moroccan occupation (in occupied Western Sahara)? Because France
dramatizes allegedly selling hollow slogans claiming that dignity of women banned burka, while unfairly imposes a veil antagonistically airtight and waterproof on the DD HH violations in Western Sahara, discordantly with the UN resolutions and the principles of the French Revolution.

Al-Sahrawi people after 34 years of exile, no one can sell terms, often meaningless. Terms such thumbed as human rights, freedom, democracy, equality and augers of slogans that often stand as a kind of fashion in Europe (because the Saharawi have simply lost confidence, but never lose hope.)
Today marks 30 years of existence of the wall, or about ten thousand nine hundred fifty-seven (10 957) very long days of separation and exile, shelter and expatriation, of pillage, torture, severe violations of DD HH , need and desire, of cold and heat, of disappointment but eager to continue to pursue prosperity, freedom and welfare.
But the walls are like any crime, much as the authors argue, is shameful and inexcusable, however some expose certain excuses, if none of the bases is no reason to build a wall, wherever you are, or religious basis, or economic, or political or social. But if there is a wall on this planet that no pretexts or justifications is built by the Moroccan army in Western Sahara.
Some countries are putting forward arguments to defend its walls are a legitimate means of defense against a myriad of reasons .... Perhaps
may Moroccans and their secret services pro market to convince the world that this wall is against drug trafficking, illegal immigration, or terrorism. ? Are or had been the Saharan linked to any of these phenomena? What else can
pretexts Makhzen award to support their claims? Undoubtedly face was missing and evidence to convince ...
As absolutist regimes distressed walls and eventually killed, the story has patented, even in the most recent.
many victims in this world is moving so excited and when witnessed the modulating Shakira world cup song 2010 "WAKA WAKA" in conjunction with the South African chanting
"The time, the walls fall
Va only fair to start the battles
hit does not hurt, There is no fear ... "It follows
significant briefing: that the rusty material interest, contempt, humiliation and postponement of others inevitably have an end, as South Africans are free, so too will the Sahrawi.
In fact, the international community celebration exactly one month ago, the first anniversary of "Mandela Day" to inspire, according to his philosophy - every person anywhere in the world to join the values \u200b\u200bthat have stood the life of Mandela-freedom equality, reconciliation, diversity, maturity, respect and self-determination - and therefore allow to keep his legacy as a World Heritage Site.
is appropriate to recall to the international community that the Saharawi people over 30 years segregated and divided into two parts following a series of walls - physically preventing the passage from one area to another.
Please be fair. Not sin of ignorance about the magnitude and derivations of the crime, it is time to look for and listen to hear. Furthermore, it is desirable and expected that the international community acts efficiently to boycott the sale of mines and weapons to Morocco and the total dismantling of the wall and that it is mine.

The English government in 2009 made sales of defense equipment and dual use goods worth 1491.77 million euros. Of these, 1346.5 million from defense equipment, material 99.12 and 46.13 Dual Use of other materials, says the "Analysis of English exports of military and dual use goods 2009" published today by Amnesty International, Oxfam, Fundació per la Pau and Greenpeace, with the assistance of the Institute of Studies on Conflicts and Humanitarian Action (IECAH).


"Sales increased by 33.37% compared to 2008. But if one takes into account only the arms sales, they have increased by 44%. Resulting in the largest amount of exports can give weapons since these inspections done, "said Oxfam Francisco Wilderness.

However, the organizations maintain their positive assessment of the Law on Control of Foreign Trade in Defence and Dual-Use Thus, the report notes progress in the transparency of export data and information on individual refusals of sales as two of the most positive aspects of implementing the standard.

"Statistics for 2009 include detailed information on exports of defense material by an amount exceeding 10 million euros. Currently, the number of countries and operations that has more detailed information than usual is higher than before, "adds Yermo.

As to the refusal of permits to sell, the study noted positively the individualized information provided in the case of Costa Rica, Georgia and Syria. During the past year licenses were revoked four arms to Costa Rica, the risk of diversion or unauthorized re-export, a license antitank weapons and ammunition to Georgia, for risk of breaking the peace, security and regional stability, and a team of decontamination to Syria for two reasons above.

"In addition, The Government has provided information on denials in hunting cartridges for Conakry Guinea, once decreed for the international embargo. And in those relating to the sale of dual-use equipment to Egypt, Iran, Pakistan, Syria and Yemen "," Sabina says Puig of Amnesty International.

Most alarming is that they have continued to export significant quantities of military and dual use items to destinations of concern because they are in armed conflict situations suffer serious internal instability or they are violations of human rights, etc. reasons. "These operations should be refused in accordance with the law, because it clearly specifies Article 8 thereof destinations should not be sold where such material, "said spokesman Fundació per la Pau, Jordi Armadans.

Some of these countries with which Spain sold arms in 2009 are: Angola, Saudi Arabia, Bolivia, Colombia, United States, Georgia, Ghana, Guinea, Indonesia, Iran, Israel, Lebanon, Malaysia, Morocco, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Thailand, Turkey and Venezuela. While the Government has identified "targets of special sensitivity" feel the lack of organizations that the Government include in the list to Colombia, China, Indonesia, Iran and Morocco.



Israel: exports away from the good practices

Israel committed war crimes and other violations of international law in the Gaza Strip during the military offensive Cast Lead, took place between December 2008 and January 2009. It killed more than 1,380 Palestinians, among whom were many civilians, including more than 330 children. In 2009, Israeli forces continued to impose severe restrictions on freedom of movement of the occupied Palestinian population, hindered their access to essential services and often prevented the entry of humanitarian assistance and international aid to Gaza. These restrictions have continued throughout 2010. On the other hand, the May 31, 2010, Israeli armed forces attacked a flotilla carrying humanitarian aid in international waters off the coast of Gaza, killing 10 activists.

Spain made in 2009 exports to Israel worth about 800,000 euros, of which 624,000 were for the category 4 (bombs, torpedoes, rockets and missiles), and more than 120,000 to shotgun shells. Of the total, 78% went to the country's Armed Forces. The Ministry of Industry Trade and Tourism (MITC) justifies these operations, arguing that the Israeli military are not the final destination of these exports, but the real target is related or NATO or Spain.

"Of concern is the volume of export operations which were authorized in 2009 but not performed: 2.8 million euros, of which 2.5 million belong to the category 4 (bombs, torpedoes, rockets and missiles). It is possible that these operations are carried out right now, "Greenpeace concluded Mabel González.

The report records that, according to a study published by the Centre for Peace Studies and NOVA JM Delàs within ten years of the European Code of Conduct of military exports (1998-2008, the year he spent become common position), States 260 members have been denied export licenses for defense equipment to Israel. Between 2000 and 2008, however, Spain approved 109 licenses, without stating that they have been denials.



Sri Lanka: preventing rather than "cure"

Spain in 2009 made exports worth 102,000 euros in category 4 (bombs, torpedoes, rockets and missiles) aimed at the armed forces of Sri Lanka. In addition, sales were authorized by 1.29 million euros in the same category despite the conflict situation of China.

In May 2009 the war between the Government of Sri Lanka and the LTTE entered its final phase. During this period, both sides committed war crimes and serious violations of human rights of internally displaced persons (forced disappearance, extrajudicial killings, torture and abuse, forced recruitment, sexual violence). According to the UN, between January and May more than 7,000 civilians were killed and another 14,000 were injured.

MITC decided not to allow more operations to Sri Lanka from May. Although organizations value it positively, believe that this behavior reflects a reactive approach to the problem, as opposed to prevention is desirable.

"Obviously it is important not to grant export licenses when conflict is already open, but this is not enough. Operation would be advisable to test each case to case basis, taking into account serious and credible reports on the situation of each country of destination, in order to withhold exports where there is risk that can be used to violate human rights or international humanitarian law, taking into account the situation of the recipient country, the guarantees provided by end use, etc.. "Sabina Puig says Amnesty International.




Other destinations concern
Morocco in 2009 increased attacks on freedom of expression, association and assembly on issues deemed sensitive for internal and external security of the state, according to Amnesty International. Moreover, the authorities have intensified restrictions on those who advocated self-determination of Western Sahara. However, last year exports were more than 30 million euros, including 28 million in land vehicles and 1.7 million in aircraft. In addition, authorized another 50 million in aircraft. It is unknown what kind of guarantees has received the English Government that this material will not be used in actions that may infringe human rights.

Guinea Conakry in 2009 was a target of concern. In 2008 a coup was condemned by the international community and the country was even suspended from participation in the African Union. In September 2009, the police suppressed a demonstration in brutal and killed over 150 people. The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) imposed on 17 October an arms embargo on the country, which was followed by another European Union ten days later. However, in 2009, Guinea Conakry Spain bought shotgun shells worth 4.1 million euros, which were addressed to private companies. Other 3.2 million were authorized for the same purpose. The export of shotgun shells in this country is very worrying, opportunities to contribute to worsen the existing situation of internal stress or even to pass into the hands of security forces.

Thailand experienced a serious internal unrest last year. The state of emergency and clashes between demonstrators and the army have continued during 2010. On several occasions, established the state of emergency and invoked the Internal Security Act, and police used live ammunition against demonstrators, causing many casualties. There were serious human rights abuses by security forces and armed insurgents in the context of the conflict in the south that has claimed 4,000 lives in the past six years, particularly affecting the civilian population. The organizations have repeatedly demanded the suspension of exports to this country. However, it sold more than 155,000 euros in weapons of caliber less than 20 mm. His target was the military. According to the report of MITC, this is for aircraft and spare parts for small arms, for the Navy. Exports also were authorized for more than 50 million euros, corresponding to aircraft.
