CUBA-III ENCUENTRO INTERNACIONAL SOBRE PROTECCIÓN JURÍDICA DE LOS DERECHOS DEL MENOR

III ENCUENTRO INTERNACIONAL SOBRE PROTECCIÓN
JURÍDICA DE LOS DERECHOS DEL MENOR

CONVOCATORIA

“He visto los niños que no tienen juguetes, los niños que no han espigado alegría, los que oyen con ojitos agrandados por un deseo impreciso, los acordes de la fanfarria, los ruidos de los pitos y el estampido de los cohetes que exteriorizan la alegría suburbial. He visto esos pobres niños, descalzos sobre un suelo que abrasa, sucios, cubiertos de jirones de vestidos; los he visto en las calles jugando en los montones de tierra, mirando con una extraña nostalgia la vida. Ellos viven una cruel pesadilla, soportan el peso de una cadena que no merecen, ellos son tristes en la edad en que los demás niños, casi todos los niños, son alegres, son reyes de su casa.”
Zig-Zag en 1926

Estimados Amigos y Amigas:
Estimados colegas:
Porque los niños son los seres más poderosos de la Tierra. E inevitablemente, son el futuro. Ellos cargan sobre sus piesecitos todavía vacilantes, o sus piernas ya muy ágiles, la esperanza de sus padres, de un país, de la humanidad. Como dijera nuestro maestro José Martí: “son la esperanza del mundo”.

Motivados y preocupados por lo anterior, tenemos el agrado de informarte que del 2 al 5 de noviembre del 2009, se desarrollara en La Habana Cuba, el III Encuentro Internacional sobre Protección Jurídica de los Derechos del Menor, organizado por La Fiscalía General de la Republica de Cuba y el Instituto de Desarrollo e Investigaciones del Derecho (IDID), con la finalidad de promover el más amplio intercambio de experiencias sobre la base de la siguientes temáticas:

IFSW PRESIDENT IS AWARDED DOCTORATE IN SOCIAL WORK

IFSW President, Dr David N Jones, has been awarded a doctorate in social work by Warwick University after a period of research and study lasting for 10 years. His research examined aspects of the evaluation of social work practice and management through the process of inspection.

David commented: ‘it is a great relief to have successfully concluded this long period of research and study. Social work is an emotionally and intellectually demanding profession. I believe that it is very important that individuals show the connections between emotion and intellect and between practice, management and academia. A strong profession derives its strength from all these elements working together effectively in creative tension. I am pleased that I have been able to show that this is possible.

‘Social work needs to strengthen these links and I am glad that the peak global bodies are doing that through the growing partnership between the global bodies, especially IFSW, IASSW and ICSW. This will be seen in our joint conference in Hong Kong in June 2010.

‘It has been an immense challenge to complete a part-time doctorate whilst also working full-time and in addition serving as IFSW President. I am grateful to my employers for supporting me and to my many friends and colleagues who have given me support and tolerance. I am grateful to Warwick University (England) for helping me successfully to complete the project. I am especially grateful to Rachel and my family for their tolerance and forbearance and for sharing the excitement of this award.

‘I am looking forward to a very active final year as IFSW President, including planning for the major Hong Kong conference, and to planning future challenges! I look forward to continuing to serve international social work in any way which IFSW and the wider community see as helpful,’ David Jones concluded.

PRESS RELEASE DA ASSOCIAÇÃO MALTESA DOS ASSISTENTES SOCIAIS NO DIA MUNDIAL DOS REFUGIADOS

“IT’S A FALLACY TO THINK THAT PROMOTING HUMAN RIGHTS IN FAVOUR OF ASYLUM SEEKERS IS ENCOURAGING IRREGULAR IMMIGRATION” - MASW

“Knowledge and information about the situation in the countries where asylum seekers and refugees originate will empower government and civil society to respond to the phenomenon of irregular immigration in Malta”

To mark this year's World Refugee Day, the Maltese Association of Social Workers (MASW) is expressing its solidarity towards all those people living in situations of danger, persecution and poverty in the countries from which asylum seekers and refugees in Malta and across the world originate.

In a recent event organized by the Association in collaboration with the three other NGOs, a film was viewed and discussion held in order to raise awareness on the situation in Sudan as an example of one of the countries from where people flee from.

The life-threatening circumstances such as conflicts, famine, entire devastation of villages and mass murders were shown and discussed. Such an event can only serve to give a small view of the kind of situations and reasons that drive people to leave their country.

As one person stated, “… it really does take COURAGE, to be a refugee, it must be the most vulnerable and lonely experience … nobody should have to go through such tragedy.”

The political, legal, socio-cultural, foreign policy and infrastructural factors displayed in the film about Sudan all highlighted the complexity of the problem that has been going on for years making it clear that the serious problems will not be solved overnight.

The situation in other countries like Somalia where a state of lawlessness, chaos and terror continues to reign and solutions seem even bleaker.

The political powers of the Western, developed world continue to struggle with the complexity of these problems, haunted by a past of colonialist interference and compromised political and economic interests.

The result is deaths, tragedies and hardships for these people that go on for interminable years.

The MASW and collaborating NGOs believe that education, knowledge and information about the situation in the countries where asylum seekers and refugees originate will empower government and civil society to respond to the phenomenon of irregular immigration in Malta. Further, the organizations warn that fear and policies of exclusion will only create a local environment which is detrimental to our society, our economy and our identity; An identity which must prove its strength by demonstrating its cultural richness, openness and resilience.

A political system cannot claim civilization and development if it creates further incumbencies to those who are rightfully eligible to be given humanitarian protection and refugee status or if it shuns and criticizes those who exercise their freedom of speech to advocate for the rights of asylum seekers.

The current detention policy and the growing preoccupation with border control disputes are resulting in conditions where asylum seekers are deprived from their human rights. The Association reiterates and reinforces the public statement by the Jesuit Refugee Service that the detention centers are not the solution but rather another infringement of a human’s right to seek protection from harm and persecution.

It is a fallacy that being in favour of human rights encourages the increase of irregular immigration, rather, it is quite the opposite because it is the lack of human rights that drives people to escape from the home country that they nonetheless many treasure in their hearts forever.

ENSACT STATEMENT OF CONCERN 29 APRIL 2009

ENSACT: Statement of Concern 29 April 2009

Xenophobic direction of new proposals approved by (a branch of) the Italian Parliament

The Italian government is heading in the regrettable direction of promoting xenophobic legislation by approving a new law entitled ‘safety measures’ that criminalises undocumented migrants, the homeless and the needy in general. Under the new law, health and even public officials such as social workers are expected to inform authorities when undocumented clients seek public health and social services.

This law not only carries the danger of turning social challenges into problems of public order, it undermines professional intervention by placing a ‘policing’ duty upon health and social practitioners . As it is now, the law puts forward a position that contradicts the social professional code of ethics and professional conduct, including client confidentiality.

ENSACT supports the protest of the President of the EASSW, the Secretary of AIDOSS (Italian Association of Social Work Teachers) and of the association of the Professional Register of Italian Social Workers against the new Italian legislation and, as such, strongly opposes the direction of the Italian Parliament, requesting it to retract its intention to obstruct the indispensable work of health and social professionals with needy populations and, essentially, avoid an escalation of xenophobic tendencies in Italy.
