never. Half later, the Organization of American States (OAS) has apologized for the U.S. military intervention in the Dominican Republic in 1965. Then, "to prevent the creation of a second Cuba," the inter-American peace forces, which included military personnel from the United States, Brazil, Honduras, Paraguay, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and El Salvador, invaded the country. The civil war claimed the lives of about 3 thousand civilians and almost 3 thousand Dominican soldiers.
34 members of the OAS voted in favor of the adoption of a declaration stating that the American invasion "interrupted the process of restoring constitutional order in the country", and expressed their condolences in connection with the loss of life.
OAS Declaration : The OAS General Assembly adopted a document concerning the dispute between Argentina and the United Kingdom over the Malvinas (Falkland Islands). The Declaration calls on both countries to find a peaceful solution to the issue and to resume negotiations as soon as possible.
This territorial dispute has been going on for many years. Argentina declares its sovereignty over these islands and supports the beginning of a dialogue, as recommended in UN Resolution 2065 (XX). The United Kingdom refuses dialogue and insists on the right to self-determination of the archipelago, considering it its overseas territory. Time will tell whether the countries will finally be able to resolve this dispute.
America? The"ni-ni"generation is such that a study conducted by the World Bank shows that 20 million young people aged 15-24 (one in five, or 3.2% of the population) in the region belong to the so-called "ni-ni generation": they do not study or work. At the same time, two out of three "ni-ni" are women, and 60% come from poor families.
The document states that this problem negatively affects the development of the labor market and leads to an increase in crime, drug addiction and social stratification. Experts in this regard point out that the roots of the problem lie in persistent inequality, the existence of marginal strata, poverty and lack of access to education. Therefore, it is necessary to implement projects at the State level that would allow these young people to exercise their right to education and work.
If you look at the situation on a global scale, the figures are very disappointing: the number of "ni-ni" in the world reaches 60% of the total number of young people of this age, estimated at 1.8 billion. human.
rejected. The government of gift 100 thousand chickens, which the American tycoon decided to transfer to this South American country, thereby reducing poverty and improving the quality of food for the population.
The Minister of Agriculture and Land Development of Bolivia, Cesar Cocarico, dismissed the act of B. Gates as rude and advised him to stop talking about Bolivia in general: "He absolutely does not know the real state of affairs, believes that we still live in the countryside, as 500 years ago, and do not know how to produce goods and food."
sea. In wash may Easter Island 's Statues, " Some of them may be lost to humanity if the erosion of the island's coastline by Pacific Ocean waves continues in the coming decades. It can be stated that climate change affects all man - made UNESCO World Heritage Sites," said Adam Markham, a leading expert of the organization.
A group of scientists analyzed how existing monuments of architecture and culture located in the open air react to anthropogenic climate change and related phenomena: sea level rise, changes in the pattern of ocean currents, rising average annual temperatures and increasing frequency of extreme weather events.
Easter Island is one of the most mysterious places on Earth, where about two millennia ago there was a bizarre civilization of Polynesians, who left behind numerous traces in the form of giant statues - Moai, which, as scientists now believe, are deified figures of the ancestors and relatives of the ancient inhabitants of the island. According to researchers from UNESCO, these idols may soon be literally washed away into the sea due to the increase in the height of waves hitting the island, as well as due to increased erosion of the coastline.
Unfortunately, the Moai will not be the only victim of global warming-wildlife objects will also suffer, for example, the Galapagos Islands may be left without a significant part of their unique flora and fauna due to shifts in El Nino activity. All this, experts hope, will convince governments of different countries to develop a program to save all the World Heritage Sites before we lose some of them.
confession. The World Swiss Foundation "New7Wonders" has awarded the Cuban capital, Havana, the title of "Wonder City of the World". It became the seventh such city in the list, which previously included Beirut (Lebanon), Vigan (Philippines), Durban (South Africa), Doha (Qatar), Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) and La Paz (Bolivia). The foundation's President, Bernard Weber, explained that Havana was awarded this title because it has the most diverse urban infrastructure.
More than 1,200 cities from 220 countries claimed the title, but the choice was made in favor of the Cuban capital. It is one of the 25 localities most often photographed by tourists. In connection with this event in Havana, a monument will be erected on one of the central buildings and a memorial plaque will be unveiled.
It should be recalled that Havana already has two titles: National Heritage Monument (1978) and World Heritage Monument (1982), which implies the preservation of ancient architectural structures existing in the capital.
