Legalizing drugs is a major mistake: Salinas

(Bogotá, Columbia) Former Mexican President Carlos Salinas de Gortari told the Colombian daily El Tiempo, "To propose the legalization of drugs in our countries is a major mistake". He noted that the legalization of drugs "seems more a proposal of former presidents or those aspiring to be president that a responsible attitude of a head of state." He said the anti-drug cooperation with the United States "needs a better approach in terms of intelligence gathering, information sharing, it seems that there is distrust
between the agencies responsible, not just between the two countries, but in Mexico." "Another problem is that there is not enough police and many are being penetrated by the mafia," he told the Colombian newspaper.

Human Trafficking Discussion

Experts and journalists met to discuss the human trafficking in Guatemala, a growing problem that requires the attention of the State (Guatemala). Trafficking in persons is a growing social phenomenon affecting the country’s domestic and foreign development, and given its complex dimensions in the exploitation of people, especially girls, children, adolescents and women, it requires a comprehensive approach. According to the Office of Human Rights, strategic position and economic conditions make Guatemala a country of origin, transit and destination country for Mexican citizens and Central Americans who are trafficked for purposes of commercial sexual exploitation and forced labor. The State has failed to respond to problems, because according to MarÃ*a Eugenia Morales, it is due to the high tolerance of people to human trafficking and impunity and a weak justice system that has been corrupted by organized crime. The Deputy Prosecutor said of 384 cases, with 46 still being investigated, there have only been 2 sentences.

The year 2010 proved to be the second most violent in the history of Tijuana with 820 homicides, the first continues to be in 2008 with 844 murders. According to the PGJE (State police), 60% of homicides were the result of the war between drug traffickers. (Note: in late November, the veteran municipal police chief was fired from his position.)

Father Sentenced to 26 Years in Prison for Daughter’s Rape

(Soyapango, El Salvador) The court has sentenced a father for continuing rape of his minor daughter. It began when she was 5 years old and continued for 4 years, until she finally told her aunt.
(Note: there is a marked difference in attitudes country to country, as demonstrated by the lighter sentence. Another case I saw today reported an 8 year sentence for multiple murders.)
