International Comission Barcelona Una tarea de la Convención Marco sobre Cambio Climático de Naciones Unidas, que en la actualidad está teniendo lugar en Durban, Sudáfrica, es extender las decisiones políticas previas, limitadas en alcance y solamente parcialmente aplicadas. Estas decisiones se remontan a la Convención de 1992 de la ONU y al Protocolo de Kyoto de 1997, al que Estados Unidos rehusó unirse.

Red Pepper Fernández de Kirchner reforms spark Argentina protests Argentina is braced for a wave of protests against the government of Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, amid growing disquiet over a faltering economy and efforts to clamp down on the media. Activists hope to rally thousands of people on Thursday for a string of demonstrations against a proposed constitutional reform that would allow Fernández to seek a third term in 2015, and a move to break up the country's main media group. In the five years since Fernández succeeded her husband Néstor Kirchner in office, Argentina has grown increasingly polarised between those who argue the president's reforms will create a more egalitarian society, and opponents who accuse her creeping authoritarianism. "A wide gulf has opened," said Jorge Lanata, the chain-smoking journalist whose weekly satirical TV show Periodismo Para Todos (Journalism For All) has helped shift the balance of public opinion.

New Left Review - NLR 86, March-April 2014 Argentina: Paying for the sins of the past - Inside Story Americas Two former leaders during Argentina's military rule, Jorge Videla and Reynaldo Bignone, have been found guilty of overseeing the systematic theft of babies from political prisoners. The case concerned 34 of the more than 400 babies stolen from parents while they were held in detention centres. Videla assumed power in the military coup of 1976 and ruled the country for five years. He consolidated the position of the right-wing regime by commencing what is known as the dirty war, in which between 10,000 to 30,000 of the dictatorship's political opponents were killed.
