Guatemala has one of several greatest murder charges on the planet with around 6,000 homicides noted annually plus a staggeringly minimal prosecution rate of only 2%. It has been widely confirmed that the infiltration of organized criminal networks within the State's structure holds much in the blame,
Office 2010 Keygen, and chips away at Guatemala's fragile democracy. To tackle this debilitating problem, WOLA was a key leader from the campaign to establish a UN-sponsored commission to investigate and prosecute organized crime - the CICIG - and continues to support its efforts.
On their journey to the United States, thousands of migrants are beaten, ######ually abused, and kidnapped for ransom by criminal groups in Mexico. No human being should be subject to these kinds of abuses. WOLA promotes policies toward the prevention and prosecution of abuses against migrants in transit and to address the underlying causes of migration.
Poverty and inequality in Latin America are largely concentrated in the rural sector. Government neglect of these communities and rising food prices are increasing poverty, food insecurity and out-migration. WOLA promotes policies that support small to medium agricultural producers as an engine for rural growth and poverty reduction.
Current drug laws in Latin America have not decreased drug consumption, curbed the planting of crops destined for the illicit market,
Office 2010 Product Key, or curtailed the expanding drug trade. Such laws have targeted the most vulnerable sectors of society, overloading prison systems with marginal offenders, while large-scale criminal organizations have remained unrestrained. WOLA promotes more effective and humane drug policies through dialogue and up-to-date analysis of drug policy developments during the region.
WOLA promotes human rights, democracy, and social justice by working with partners in Latin America and the Caribbean to shape policies in the United States and abroad.
