The trial of Peru’s former president Alberto Fujimori on charges of human-rights violations and corruption has received less attention than some other high-profile prosecutions of ex-rulers, warlords or mercenaries. This is a pity, for it is a fascinating event that highlights issues of truth, justice and accountability that relate both to the singular history of conflict in Peru during the years of Fujimori’s rule ( 1990-2000 ) and to the wider experience of judicial progress in Latin America. The trial, which began on December 10 2007 and is scheduled to end in August 2008, takes place in a location specially set up for this purpose. To enter the courtroom where observers and relatives follow the day’s events is to be struck by the simple but impeccable flow of the proceedings. Access to the courtroom is subject to security controls. A glass screen divides the hearing chamber into two. In the main area are the stand, the witnesses, lawyers, court reporter and secretaries. In the adjoining area are the relatives and supporters of the accused, international observers and relatives of the victims. The chamber is air-conditioned, there are security cameras, loudspeakers and a monitor where the faces of judges, witnesses, lawyers and the accused can be seen as they take the podium. The accused is seated facing the panel, with drinking-water and a pad for taking notes on a desk in front of him. This would not be so extraordinary were ... Source: www.topix.com --- 51 days ago

Sudan vows to fight charges of genocide against its leader. Last September, Jose Miguel Vivanco was savoring a victory. Chile had just extradited the former Peruvian president Alberto Fujimori to Peru for human rights violations, and the Americas’ director of Human Rights Watch was energized. With his office darkening into evening, I asked Vivanco why dictators believe they’ll rule forever. “I think there is something that makes you feel untouchable, that you are invincible,” said Vivanco, adding that unfortunately these egoists know how to stall their arrests by gaming competing national interests. “It’s a question of politics,” said Vivanco. On Monday, the game heated up for Sudan’s President Hassan Ahmad Al Bashir after Luis Moreno-Ocampo, the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, requested his arrest warrant for genocide in the Darfur region, where 300,000 have died since 2003. Rallying against the prosecutor’s recommendation, the “invincible” Al Bashir pumped his fists in the air to the cheers of supporters in Khartoum. Much of the rest of the world, meanwhile, from United Nation’s Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon and President Bush to representatives from Russia, China, and the African Union, fretted that the warrant request would disrupt humanitarian work, bring reprisals against U.N. peacekeepers, or otherwise further destabilize Darfur, etc. For all the scripted anger in Khartoum and the handwringing elsewhe ...

Peruvian novelist and politician Mario Vargas Llosa says Barack Obama would make a "magnificent" U.S. president. The prize-winning writer says Obama "represents the American dream," though he also respects rival candidate John McCain. One of Latin America's best known writers, Vargas Llosa ran for Peru's presidency in 1990, but lost to Alberto Fujimori. He spoke to reporters on Saturday in Venezuela, where one of his plays is being performed. Asked about Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, Vargas Llosa said his government "believes in a type of authoritarian democracy" and "restricts liberties." ...
