Why is there talk of a 'Bukele Plan' in Peru?
The debate in Peru over adopting a security plan similar to El Salvador's 'Plan Bukele' has intensified, with various leaders and experts weighing in. While some Peruvian officials advocate for implementing such a plan to combat rising crime, others argue that the different nature of criminal activities in Peru makes it unsuitable. The 'Plan Bukele' in El Salvador, which has significantly reduced homicide rates, has faced criticism for human rights violations. The Peruvian government, led by President Dina Boluarte, has indicated it will pursue its own security strategies.

Biden’s Cuba Policy Has the Island in Shambles
The article discusses the impact of US sanctions on Cuba, particularly under the Trump and Biden administrations, which have exacerbated the island's economic and humanitarian crisis. Despite initial expectations that Biden would reverse Trump's policies, the current administration has intensified sanctions, affecting Cuba's tourism industry and overall economy. The sanctions have led to severe shortages of food and medicine, power outages, and a mass exodus of Cubans seeking better opportunities abroad. The article criticizes the US for maintaining Cuba's designation as a state sponsor of terrorism, arguing that it has further isolated the island economically. It highlights the complex interplay between internal Cuban economic issues and external pressures from US policies, ultimately questioning the effectiveness and humanitarian impact of such sanctions.

César Gaviria criticized the OAS statements: 'They undermine the autonomy of the Court'
César Gaviria, former President of Colombia, criticized the Secretary General of the OAS, Luis Almagro, and the IACHR for statements that he believes undermine the autonomy of Colombia's Supreme Court and the separation of powers. Gaviria highlighted that these actions disregard a key component of the Inter-American Charter of Human Rights.

Gaviria, who has also served as the OAS Secretary General, conveyed his concerns to the U.S. Ambassador and expressed confidence that the statements do not have member country support or proper consultation.

The Worst Year for Independent Media in Nicaragua
Nicaragua is experiencing severe repression of independent media, with numerous journalists in exile, media licenses revoked, and journalists detained. La Prensa, one of the country's oldest newspapers, moved its operations abroad due to government persecution. The Ortega government, through regulatory body Telcor, has revoked licenses of several media outlets, including those connected to the Catholic Church. The repression has led to self-censorship among journalists, affecting the flow of information, especially in rural areas. International media and journalists have also faced restrictions, with CNN en Español taken off the air and an EFE correspondent denied entry. The situation is described as the most repressive period for Nicaraguan journalism.

International court urges Peru not to release ex-president Fujimori from jail
Peru's constitutional court has ordered the release of former president Alberto Fujimori, who has been serving a 25-year sentence for corruption and human rights abuses. The Inter-American Court of Human Rights has urged Peru to refrain from executing the order, citing international law. Fujimori's legacy remains divisive, with supporters praising his economic reforms and opponents condemning his authoritarian rule. The decision now lies with President Dina Boluarte's government, which faces its own human rights accusations. The outcome will test Peru's commitment to international norms amid political pressure from a powerful congressional coalition.

Dominican Republic Expelled Hundreds of Children to Haiti Without Their Families This Year
The Dominican Republic has expelled hundreds of children to Haiti without their families, as part of a broader wave of deportations criticized for racial profiling and human rights violations. The United Nations Children’s Agency reported receiving at least 1,800 unaccompanied children from Dominican authorities. The U.S. embassy warned of increased interactions for Black and darker-skinned Americans with Dominican authorities. Despite international criticism, Dominican Republic President Luis Abinader has defended the deportations. Allegations of degrading treatment and wrongful deportations have surfaced, including the deportation of legal residents and Dominican citizens. The Dominican Republic's long-standing efforts to remove people of Haitian origin, including a 2013 ruling that rendered many stateless, have been condemned by human rights organizations. Amidst Haiti's own crises, the UN has urged the Dominican Republic to cease deportations.

His case has drawn attention from the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, which has urged Costa Rica to protect him from potential harm.

How US gun culture stacks up with the world
The United States has a unique gun culture with the highest rate of civilian gun ownership globally, according to the Small Arms Survey. With 120 guns for every 100 Americans, the country outpaces others in gun-related deaths, including suicides and mass shootings. Constitutional rights to bear arms in the US contrast with other countries that have successfully implemented gun reforms, such as Australia, New Zealand, and the UK, leading to significant reductions in gun violence. Despite the high rates of gun violence, US political reform on stricter gun laws remains stagnant, with a divided public opinion and political landscape.
