Developing countries lose billions each year through bribery, misappropriation of funds, and other corrupt practices. Much of the proceeds of this corruption find 'safe haven' in the world's financial centers. These criminal flows are a drain on social services and economic development programs, contributing to the impoverishment of the world's poorest countries. Many developing countries have already sought to recover stolen assets. A number of successful high-profile cases with creative international cooperation has demonstrated that asset recovery is possible. However, it is highly complex, involving coordination and collaboration with domestic agencies and ministries in multiple jurisdic...

This volume provides an unparalleled exploration of ethics and museum practice, considering the controversies and debates which surround key issues such as provenance, ownership, cultural identity, environmental sustainability and social engagement. Using a variety of case studies which reflect the internal realities and daily activities of museums as they address these issues, from exhibition content and museum research to education, accountability and new technologies, Museums, Ethics and Cultural Heritage enables a greater understanding of the role of museums as complex and multifaceted institutions of cultural production, identity-formation and heritage preservation. Benefitting from ICOM’s unique position in the museum world, this collection brings a global range of academics and professionals together to examine museums ethics from multiple perspectives. Providing a more complete picture of the diverse activities now carried out by museums, Museums, Ethics and Cultural Heritage will appeal to practitioners, academics and students alike.
Las mujeres constituyen una parte sustancial de la poblacion economicamente activa dedicada a la agricultura. Los instrumentos internacionales de derechos humanos, medioambiente y desarrollo sostenible proclaman el principio de no discriminacion por razon de sexo o de genero. Sin embargo las mujeres frecuentemente se encuentran con obstaculos de genero a la hora de ejercer sus derechos y de alimentar a sus familias. Asi, el derecho a un nivel de vida adecuado, que incluye una alimentacion adecuada, puede verse vulnerado. Estos obstaculos pueden derivarse de normas directa o indirectamente discriminatorias, de practicas socioculturales profundamente arraigadas o de ambas cosas. El presente estudio analiza desde una perspectiva de genero la legislacion relativa a la agricultura existente en distintos paises del mundo, examinando la condicion juridica de la mujer en tres esferas clave: los derechos sobre la tierra y los recursos naturales; los derechos de las trabajadoras agricolas; y los derechos de las trabajadoras autonomas del sector agrario, desde la condicion de la mujer en las cooperativas rurales hasta su acceso a los servicios de credito, capacitacion y extension agricola."
Trade integration contributes substantially to economic development and poverty alleviation. In recent years much progress was made to liberalize the trade regime, but customs procedures are often still complex, costly and non-transparent. This situation leads to misallocation of resources. 'Customs Modernization Handbook' provides an overview of the key elements of a successful customs modernization strategy and draws lessons from a number of successful customs reforms as well as from customs reform projects that have been undertaken by the World Bank. It describes a number of key import procedures, that have proved particularly troublesome for customs administrations and traders, and provides practical guidelines to enhance their efficiency. The Handbook also reviews the appropriate legal framework for customs operations as well as strategies to combat corruption.

"They stole 15 years of my life." A native of Monterrey, Mexico, Ricardo Aldape Guerra was sentenced to death in 1982 for the first-degree murder of a Houston Police Officer that took place three months earlier.

Ricardo Ampudia, former Consul General of Mexico in Houston, Texas, explores the history and ethics of the death penalty in this fascinating look at its impact on Mexicans sentenced to death in the United States. A fervent opponent of capital punishment, Ampudia came to his beliefs because of his involvement in defending Aldape. The author offers a brief ...
