ISBN 0-929692-03-9 LANGUAGE: ENG ABSTRACT: In this report Americas Watch states that murders of civilians in El Salvador for political reasons are once again on the increase.Violent abuses by the Army, death squads and the FMLN have intensified so dramatically in the first year covered by the Central American Peace Plan that many observers, ranging from the Catholic Church to the government's own human rights commission, see a return to the terror of the early 1980's. Americas Watch calles on the United States to make clear to the Salvadoran high command that Washington will no continue funding the Salvadoran military unless government and death squad violence is ended and those responsible for the coninuing violations are brought to justice.In addition, Americas Watch calls on the FMLN to end its practice of executing alleged informers or suspected army collaborators, and to take effective measures to reduce the number of civilian casualties resulting from the use of landmines.

The report offers compelling information on civilian land mine casualties in both countries, and presents a comprehensive analysis of the international law governing the use of hese weapons, much of it brought together for the first time.The report goes beyond criticizing past abuses, offering criteria for judging individual mining incidents, and recommendations for avoiding civilian casualties in the future.

BIBLIOGRAPHIC LEVEL: monograph Human rights in Colombia as President Barco begins / ; Americas Watch, 68 p.. - New York : Americas Watch Committee, 1986. ISBN 0-938579-26-6 LANGUAGE: ENG ABSTRACT: When Virgilio Barco took office as the duly elected president of Colombia in August 7, 1986, he confronted a country troubled by warfare with several guerrilla groups and by serious human rights violations.Both Colombia's armed forces and the gerrillas have used Argentina-style dirty war tactics, such as extrajudicial executions and disappearances, in their fight against the other. Many Colombians fear the onset of a fullset vicious civil war along the lines of El Salvador today or Guatemala a few years ago.They hope that the new administration will move forcefully to prevent this "central-americanization" of Colombia's conflicts. Americas Watch hopes that, as president, Barco will take a clear stand against human rights abuses and that he will act forcefully to ensure that Colombia's military forces comply with domestic laws as well as with Colombia's international human rights obligations.

BIBLIOGRAPHIC LEVEL: monograph Human rights in Peru after President Garcia's first year / ; Americas Watch, 119 p.. - New York : Americas Watch Committee, 1986. ISBN 0-938579-25-8 LANGUAGE: ENG ABSTRACT: The 1984 American Watch report on Peru documented the cruel measures the insrugency known as Sendero Luminoso practiced against civilians, as well as severe abuses committed by the government in the course of its counter-insurgency campaign, condemning the violations on both sides. When President Garcia took office on July 29, 1985, his inaugural message offered hope for change.It included specific references to a new policy that proposed to intill a scrupulous respect for internationally-recognized standards of human rights within the conduct of counter-insurgency campaign. Peru has indeed experienced dramatic changes regarding human rights over the past year.At the end of Garcia's first year in office, the gains that have been made in the battle for human rights are in serious jeopardy.It is not, however, too late for President Garcia to give momentum to his peace and human rights initiatives.

BIBLIOGRAPHIC LEVEL: monograph A certain passivity : failing to curb human rights abuses in Peru / ; Americas Watch, 57 p.. - New York : Americas Watch Committee, 1987. ISBN 0-938579-37-1 LANGUAGE: ENG ABSTRACT: In his two years of office, President Garcia has maintained his commitment to democratic freedoms, despite relentless pressure from the insurgency Sendero Luminoso, and a series of social and economic crisis.However, the number of murders, disappearances, torture, and other crimes committed by both sides in the gerrilla conflict place Peru close to the top of the list of Latin American countries where political violence produces tragic human suffering. Perhaps the most encouraging sign of any progress is the continuing impårovement in the performance of Peru's human rights movement, concerned with the suffering and needs of the victims of abuses of both sides.

The Sumus have been abused by all parties to the conflict nthat has raged around them.Their small number makes it difficult for them to survive as a people when they are uprooted from their communities and forced to flee the war.The opposing forces in the contra war claim to be motivated by their concerns for the welfare of the Nicaraguan people.They could exhibit their sincerity by permitting a small people such as the Sumus to stay out of the conflict and by respecting their rights to resettle and rebuild their communities.

BIBLIOGRAPHIC LEVEL: monograph Guerra de baja intensidad : Reagan contra Centroamerica / Bermudez, Lilia, 229 p.. - Mexico : Siglo veintiuno editores, 1988. LANGUAGE: SPA ABSTRACT: Considered by the US government as a prolonged counterinsurgency war to confront the liberation movements and the government in the Third World defined as enemies, the doctrine of the low intensity conflict includes three central factors: the counter-insurgency, the reversion of the revolutionary processes, and the antiterrorism. As its main goal the recuperation of its global hegemony, the Reagan administration planted an agressive external policy connected closely to the establishment of the defense policy, where the military solutions have a high priority. The reformulation of the military strategy of the United States parts from the critical revision of the political and military errors committed in Vietnam. The strategy has a wide scale, from broken diplomatic rfelations to a direct military intervention.This book studies the internal factors of this policy, its implications in the military defense doctrine of the Reagan administration, the structural changes of the US military forces, and the implementation of this policy in Central America.
