US clears Colombia for military assistance

December 20, 2020

first_imgBy Dialogo September 17, 2010 The US State Department said Wednesday Colombia was making progress in human rights and deserved that Congress approve giving it more than 30 million dollars in US military aid for fiscal year 2011. The assessment was included in the yearly certification report, required by the six-billion-dollar Plan Colombia lawmakers approved in 2000, which was presented last week to Congress, the department said in a statement. “Though there continues to be a need for improvement, the Colombian government has taken positive steps to improve respect for human rights in the country,” it told Congress, asking it to authorize 30.3 billion dollars for the Colombian Armed Forces. The money goes to help Colombia deal with rampant drug trafficking and guerrilla violence in its territory, but includes monitoring human rights abuses especially by security forces. Like a US-Colombian free trade agreement, Plan Colombia is conditioned to human rights improvements in Colombia. The department said the new administration of President Juan Manuel Santos — sworn in on August 7 — “has taken significant steps to demonstrate that it takes human rights seriously,” both at the social and judicial system levels. Nevertheless, it added, “impunity remains a concern… (and) threats by criminal groups against human rights defenders and civil society in Colombia are also deeply troubling.” The State Department urged Colombia to pursue thorough investigations of all alleged human rights abuses and threats in the country. “The United States government remains committed to continued engagement with the Colombian government to improve the human rights performance of the Colombian Armed Forces, and respect for human rights throughout the country,” it added.last_img read more

Recommendations for making effective decisions in a crisis – for employers, managers, teams

November 18, 2020

first_imgWhen we face a danger, and at this moment, apart from the COVID-19 virus infection, the danger we see before us is the illiquidity of our business, the scenario of laying off employees and closing the company, the stress hormones cortisol, adrenaline and noradrenaline fight or flee for the situation (fight or flight) which can lead us to a kind of mental paralysis.   Analytical, quantitative, financial, and rationally oriented leaders, managers, and owners are often excellent at analyzing the situation, but can focus solely on numbers and be prone to profound cost reductions in ways that can have negative long-term impacts on business. Let’s call them rational analysts and take the example of one CEO who, in a recession a few years ago, immediately started with such serious cuts that the business barely worked. She felt better, but a year later she readily admitted that by losing sight of her strategic purpose she had lost years of momentum. This loss of long-term outlook ultimately put her business at greater risk than it had before the first economic crisis. Beware dear entrepreneurs (e), wheels of tourism, keep your brave spirit and let your mental resources become your biggest ally in this crisis.   4. WHOLE BRAIN WalkAround MAKE EVERYONE FOR YOURSELF FOR EVERY DECISION NEEDED AND THEN EXCHANGE CONCLUSIONS – be disciplined and consistent, and argue about all the elements.   In moments when it is difficult for us, when we are experiencing a hurricane of fear, panic, worry, stress, feelings of helplessness, anger, sadness, it is important to notice all these emotions and not allow them to automatically take over us and that is why cognitive diversity i agility of thinking needed more than ever. What exactly does that mean? 1. # Stay at home and we discipline it and not by our interpretation of staying home. 2. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ALL YOUR AVAILABLE MENTAL RESOURCES available to you, especially for effective decision-making in a crisis. Non-prone to change, more practical, more detailed leaders, managers and owners immediately start planning any response to the crisis, but too often they minimize any risk by focusing mainly on very short-term decisions and reactions. These practical organizers strive for the good feeling that they are “doing” something, but that can be the wrong thing to do. Conversely, leaders, managers, and owners who expend so much energy devising innovative ideas in response to a situation will create even more change than the crisis itself has created. These creative, visionary people run the risk of leading this team and organization to fatigue from change beyond what the crisis has created. Retaining some initiatives can allow everyone to focus and not have to reinvent everything.  Maintaining a long-term perspective 2. ASSEMBLE A COGNITIVALLY DIVERSE CRISIS TEAM AS YOU WOULD    ENSURE ACCESS TO A WIDER PERSPECTIVE Tourism was among the first. The strongest support of our budget. There are a lot of questions and few answers. It is ungrateful to talk about any predictions and figures at this time. We find ourselves in extraordinary circumstances and no one has been able to prepare us for it whether we are a large hotel corporation, a smaller travel agency or a small family renter. We all have the same questions; What will be? What to do? What to do next? In times of crisis, making decisions important to our business requires a breadth of thinking that we are often reluctant to do even in “normal” circumstances (without being aware of it) because “when everything is right” we mostly rely on our familiar, well-established ways of thinking and behaving. By using it, you will ensure the inclusion of all the thinking perspectives you need, providing a cognitively diverse approach and ensuring better results and an increased dose of innovation. Therefore, these are two key messages: Otherwise, in business, it is important, and especially in these crisis situations – to gather people around us who are different, especially our opposite. If you find it difficult to identify who should make up your crisis team – in this table you can “quickly” scan some forms of behavior and thinking that can help you: 3. USE THE WalkAround – Whole Brain® BUSINESS DECISION-MAKING ANALYSIS MODEL 1. AS AN OWNER / MANAGER, AWARE HOW TO DECIDE DECISIONS OTHERWISE? Setting a calm, appropriate pace Our recommendations are based on Whole Brain Model crisis management. It is equally applicable to large organizations and eg small family farms.  Below we explain which extremes you can go to and the importance of balancing all mental centers, ie it is important: Recognition of saturation from change Continuing to launch a new product, developing creative solutions, or allowing policy flexibility (in a given context) that will meet the needs of employees and the client simply does not happen because they seem too risky. This is a “crisis mentality” that reacts in the only way it knows how – to withdraw to control over the preservation of all recognizable processes in the business. Leaders, managers and owners whose first reactions come from a limbic center who are otherwise more people and relationship oriented, could find themselves in a situation overwhelmed by the emotional demands of the situation and as a result experience tremendous distraction and blockage. The reaction of this type of leader (intuitive communicator) inadvertently affects the rest of the team who begins to worry and becomes frustrated by the delays in financial, technological and operational decisions that needed to be made in a calm and appropriate manner. WalkAround is a diagnostic tool for understanding, encouraging, diagnosing, and planning different approaches to a solution based on the use of all four mental centers (Whole Brain). Avoiding the “crisis mentality” These are questions that require a quick response and a change in our standard mindset because the situation is non-standard.  It is difficult to act under mental paralysis and a sense of hopelessness. And that is why we cannot be comforted when someone says “crisis is also an opportunity” because in such a state we cannot see it. In this uncertain days and months when we cannot predict what will happen to tourism, when we will again be able to travel, work and get reservations, sell our stories, indigenous products, experiences, services and everything that tourism makes tourism, we can turn to that what we have and that is MENTAL RESOURCES – within our teams and families. And that is why in such states and in these moments, even the smallest shift is important – you become aware of yourself and your emotions, you respect perspectives that you would not otherwise, you try tools like this, dive into your potentials, connect the incompatible…  If you still find it difficult to determine, we recommend that you take into the brainstorming process the people who most often disagree. You can apply the same team building within the family – it is important that key topics are discussed by people who look at the situation / problems / challenges from different perspectives.   5. ASK THESE QUESTIONS UNTIL YOU FIND NEW SOLUTIONS / IDEAS   Evaluate each important decision by answering ALL four questions according to the following quadrants. If necessary, you may want to contact others outside your team to get clear and appropriate answers for each quadrant. These are challenging times that require us to awaken the mental centers we have that we don’t otherwise use.  Published by: Marinela Dropulić Ružić, Meraklis. The text has been adapted according to thinkherrmann.com How then to achieve that “breadth, that is, stretched thinking”?  I am witnessing this these days because some entrepreneurs, including my friends, co-workers and colleagues, have already faced some difficult decisions about laying off employees, borrowing and taking great care of their own livelihoods.  last_img read more

Australian state reports jump in coronavirus cases but says New Year show must go on

October 19, 2020

first_imgAustralia’s most-populous state reported the biggest daily jump in coronavirus infections in two weeks on Wednesday but said there were no plans to cancel the New Year fireworks show over Sydney Harbor, as new cases nationally also ticked up.New South Wales (NSW) state reported 17 new cases, the biggest one-day jump since Aug. 12, while nationally the count rose to 109 cases from 85 a day earlier.Victoria state remained the hardest-hit region with 90 cases, although this was well down from its daily peak of more than 700 in early August at the height of a second wave of infections. Victoria’s capital Melbourne, Australia’s second-largest city, is in its fifth week of a six-week lockdown with authorities scheduled to detail on Sunday a timetable for easing curbs.Though strict restrictions have helped to contain the spread of the virus, they have wreaked havoc on the economy with official data on Wednesday showing Australia had entered its first recession in three decades.Australia has detected nearly 26,000 infections since the pandemic began. The national death tally rose to 663 after Victoria reported six deaths in the last 24 hours.NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian said the state was pushing ahead with plans to host large events such as the New Years Eve fireworks over Sydney Harbor.”We should be hosting events we’ve hosted before but it will be different,” Berejiklian told reporters.”I think for a lot of people the fireworks represent hope.”  Topics :last_img read more

IPE Awards Seminar: UN still key to peace, says Blix

September 29, 2020

first_img“This does not mean the current system is working optimally or can alone provide satisfactory governance in today’s world,” he told delegates.”We must be open to continuous reform and guard against the bureaucratisation of the UN, and we must stress the vital importance that a competent and impartial international civil service be maintained.“And we must remember that the UN is an orchestra of many instruments and that the failure to produce harmonious music may be less to do with the deficiencies with the instrument than with the musicians who refuse to play or insist on playing their own tunes.”Blix said he did not doubt globalisation and the increasing interdependence of states – economically, environmentally and politically – was the single factor that pushed the hardest for cooperation and against clashes and conflict.But he added: “We need all – governments, business and NGOs – to participate in this effort and to use the United Nations as a key instrument. As [second UN secretary-general] Dag Hammarskjöld said, we should not expect the UN to take us to heaven, but it may help us to avoid going to hell.”He said the world must also be aware that, increasingly, the European Union and other regional organisations – such as NATO and the Organisation of African States – shared the burden of international governance, and that informal groups such as the G8 or G20 functioned as mechanisms helping to create international consensus and action. Only a few hours before global NGOs staged a mass walk-out of climate talks in Warsaw, he also noted that, increasingly, civil society – the global NGO community as well as the global business community – had been brought into the dialogue and been enabled to contribute and influence.He pointed out that, since 1993, there had been a convention against the possession and use of chemical weapons.It was under this convention that most states, including the large powers, and now Syria, were destroying their chemical weapons, he said.   Blix added: “The world has come a long way from the quarrelling and warring chiefdoms of past centuries, but it has still a long way to go to reduce armed conflicts, bloated arsenals and the shocking annual global military expenditures of $1,700bn.“We must remember the UN is an orchestra of many instruments and that the failure to produce harmonious music may be less to do with the deficiencies with the instrument than with the musicians who refuse to play or insist on playing their own tunes”Hans Blix, former UN weapons inspector“It has a long way to go to create humane living conditions for a world population that needs to further slow its growth, and it has a long way to go to secure access to sufficient energy for all without risking to destroy the global climate – as we are now busy doing.”Blix said he also believed that traditional reasons for war – such as a desire to achieve self-determination, the drawing of new borders and the armed grabbing of land – were either a “thing of the past” or no longer cause “major conflagrations”.They could also be settled judicially.“Religion and ideology have been important triggers of war in the past, but, with the end of the Cold War, it is hard to imagine that differences in ideology could again ignite armed conflict.“The clash of civilizations that was much discussed a few years ago will certainly not lead to large wars. Al Qaeda is not the Muslim world.”He questioned those who predicted the possibility of armed conflict over resource scarcity, despite resources of the Middle East, Central Asia and the Arctic being subject to “competing” energy projects and pipelines.“These competing interests are more likely to play out in prices than in armed action,” he said. “An important development in the energy sphere has occurred with the rapid introduction of fracking that is now making the US self-sufficient in gas and even exporting.“Control of the Middle East may become a less vital US strategic interest, and China and Russia may find a somewhat slackening of US interest in Central Asia.” The UN still has a critical role to play in the peace process, according to Hans Blix, former UN senior weapons inspector and former foreign minister of Sweden.Blix addressed the audience at the IPE Awards Seminar in Noordwijk, the Netherlands yesterday, saying: “I have noted the reports that the number of interstate wars in the world has gone down and that there may be increasing restraints against launching unauthorised military interventions. “It would be rash, however, to attribute this evolution simply to a growing respect for the rules of the UN Charter.”However, while recognising that the UN Charter rule restricting the use of armed force remained an uncertain barrier against the risk of armed violence, he noted that the UN system offered “important opportunities for dialogue, conciliation and joint action”.last_img read more

Benthic to Open Technology Center in Brazil

September 28, 2020

first_imgBenthic, a global geosciences company in subsea services group Acteon, plans to open its first Brazilian technology center and geotechnical laboratory in Rio de Janeiro. The facility will open later this year in the Technological Park of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. Benthic aims to use the center for geoscience research, development and innovation projects with a focus on the oil, gas and offshore wind sectors.This is part of Acteon’s overall aim of enabling companies to reduce the lifetime costs of owning and operating their critical infrastructure.“The Technological Park offers an environment conducive to innovation projects and proximity to the university’s geoscience laboratories and other established companies,” said Greg Fyffe, vice president of strategy for Benthic.The technology center will be home to Benthic’s first advanced geotechnical and geological soil research laboratory.

Moody takes up Palace post

September 21, 2020

first_img Press Association “We’re down to three or four possibles and we would hope to get somebody in place for Tuesday or Wednesday of next week, but it may go a little bit longer depending on the situation of the person that we pick,” he said. Moody is relishing his new task at Selhurst Park. Palace are at the foot of the Premier League with just three points gleaned from 10 matches since their promotion. “I am very excited by the opportunity I have been offered and would like to thank the club for their faith in me,” Moody said on the club’s website. “The club has made impressive progress since 2010 and I look forward to playing my part in helping ensure their continued success. I can’t wait to get started.” Moody was set to watch Palace’s Premier League home match against Everton on Saturday. Palace are adamant they have plenty left to play for this season, despite their parlous standing in the table. And the next manager will need to share that view, according to the co-chairman. “We’ve certainly made it more difficult for ourselves with results but it’s too early to write the season off. It would be crazy to write the season off. We’ve not written the season off,” Parish said. “The person we’re looking to appoint, it’s very important that we feel they’ve not written the season off, because if nothing else you’re not suddenly going to be able to turn on fantastic football because you’re in the Championship. “You’ve got to be playing much better football and your confidence has got to be there in the squad if you do find yourself relegated.” Moody was ousted from his position at the Cardiff City Stadium last month and replaced by 23-year-old Kazakh Alisher Apsalyamov, in a surprise move by owner Vincent Tan. Moody has functioned alongside Cardiff manager Malky Mackay at Watford and the Welsh side, and Palace co-chairman Steve Parish believes he has signed up a skilled operator. Former Cardiff head of recruitment Iain Moody has joined the Bluebirds’ Premier League rivals Crystal Palace as the south London club’s new sporting director. Parish said on BBC1: “I think the whole area of our recruitment is essential at a football club. “Iain’s got great experience, working with Malky Mackay at Watford and latterly Cardiff, with great success as well. “Iain will be responsible for all areas of player recruitment. The chief scout will report into him. He’s work directly with me and with the new manager when he’s appointed.” Parish stressed Moody had not been appointed to lead Palace’s search for a new manager, following Ian Holloway’s recent resignation. “That’s not correct,” Parish said. “Obviously Iain is someone whose opinion we’ll ask for. “The manager process is ongoing. We want to appoint someone quickly but we want to get the right person.” Palace are optimistic about making an appointment next week, Parish said. last_img read more
