Conversations with Nobel Peace Prize laureates is a presentation featuring leading Nobel Peace laureates. Together with Peace Jam, an international education program, these laureates work personally with youth to pass on the spirit, skills, and wisdom they embody. UNM and K-N-M-E-T-V are proud to present Adolfo Perez-Esquivel as part of the UNM 21st century speaker series. Well, welcome to this conversation, Nobel Peace Prize laureates, Adolfo Perez-Esquivel, Argentina, who was visiting our lovely state of the United States and who was in Mexico. Mr. Perez-Esquivel was born in the 1930s. His father was a fisherman in Spain who immigrated
to Argentina. His mother was a native of Argentina. He was educated in the College of Fine Arts in Buenos Aires, the capital. He became a teacher. Mr. Perez-Esquivel was also very active. He's working for Peace and Justice through the ranks of the capital. In 1962, he founded the Civil Magazine in Obras de la Iglesia Católica for the Peace and Justice. He was founded years later, in the 1970s, Argentina was launched into a military dictatorship, which many populations were on the right to play in the situation of the government, including the disappearance of many thousands of direct human beings. He was a very tragic chapter in the history of that country. And Mr. Perez-Esquivel became the author and the essence of the human rights that were being made. He also helped to organize mothers, plus
the impaired mothers, and he stood into a group known as the Mothers of the Flasas of the United States. He was a consequence of Mr. Perez-Esquivel. He was arrested in prison, part of Porto, quejas mundiales, together with other fellow citizens, whose ultimately released new to an international agreement in 1980. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for the Peace, a couple of years later. The military dictatorship came to an end once again Argentina was able to live on democracy. Mr. Perez-Esquivel is currently in prison. He was in the U.S. and in the United States. Would you please tell us what the purpose of this idea and something about our work? We were invited by Vizhyam, an organization of the Nobel Prize of Peace, and we were recently in Vancouver, and today we're in Minnesota.
I will be the next few days of this idea that lasted 10 days, and we're going back to Buenos Aires for a long time. Our work has been developed in the United States. We work in all continents, from Mexico, to Patagonia, with different programs in education, which is fundamentally the leader of popular social organizations, and also the part of formation with Maestro, and in all that is the defense of human rights, but this is what we're working on.
And also there was an impulse of human rights organization to take this into juridical impunity, which is one of the major problems that affects our society, to generate juicies in other countries, in the case of Spain, in France, in Italy, and in the case of Spain, I think that for the end of this month, the first day of April, in the juicies of public, in Germany, in Germany, where there are 10 causes, and we are seeking to have an international system, in which the flexibility of the organisation is within Isnnenberg's community. and the current perspectives in these problems in the construction of the system.
And the other thing that we have worked with the NEMERS in the State of the Social Rhearsals, NEMERS have been affected by the social violence of what we have been affected by. NEMERS are the case and in the case we describe the suffering, the abandonment, the violence, the family, the social violence, the other children who have been affected by the violence and the society that does not respond to the needs of a society that is difficult of meeting the needs of a society where we give them the capacity to work. And so, we have also worked with the NEMERS and the other project that gives us inspiration and the other project that concerns us on a dimension more simple and a better global. It's the problem that is the problem that was external, this is related to the activities of the Jubilee community' and their working to vehicle a dialogue it out. The person is affected by this project,
listening to the director of the system of project to a superb and arrogant and success, based on what we're talking about, and the travel and the ongoing services 9970 and 1060, In Europe, America, China, here in the United States, we are going to see how we are going to get to the particular political commune to superate this serious situation of the external debt that I always call the eternal debt because we pay more and we owe more and we owe more. So, it is a mix of perverse, where we should talk about the poverty, but the poverty is agudized through the social and social institutions, in the case of the children abandoned, which is perhaps the worst of all time. So, this is more or less very quickly.
This is, we are also passionate to Sholaans, who are obviously decorative issues but also society, which is an issue of loans, what are pension for children, who always said that democracy is not open, so so I don't Unity with the Garfeng Wendy, United States, to America, Latin America. It's the first headphones, isercene on it.
首先. It is not tried but government, today the state's longer than that. Or does perpetually violent against its people? Our voices. Crime has weakened. 해야 drive back to normal. It seems to me that the government has improved because of the shrieks over in Mexico, or in Argentina, or in Brazil, or Brazil, or Brazil, or Brazil, and it's a way that you have soar to the disastrous environment with desastrosa, very desalentadora. What do you attribute this change to cambio? Is it because of this high-risk climate, basically, or is it an effective, legacy for the people that we have yet to see? Just to be specific, it's a brief solution for this theme,
and we'll improve it in the next few years. All too old. The violence problem has been a lot of what we've been doing in the effects. We are now having to contemplate this. There are even children who go to the armed circles, who have massacres here in the United States. I've been in Europe in Paris, I've also had a great concern about the violence in the circles. Actually, in the university, there's a statistical one. Well, as a sociologist, there's much more information than I do. But studies have been done here in the United States, but we could generalize it in all of our countries for a year or four, until this year, 20 years later, on the television, more than 40,000 people are involved in violence. Now, how do we form the mentalism that makes us in a bad health mentality? What can we expect from that?
De una cultura de la violencia. Creo que esto tiene mucho que dar con los comportamientos, y también con la situación familiar. Si los padres no hacen nada frente a esto, permiten que esto mende. Entonces, lo ven todos los días, que matar, casi es un deporte, y que la violencia es algo inherente a la naturaleza humana, a los compartamientos de los niños, y se padece a buscar en eso. Entonces, creo que esto tiene mucho que ver, no solo con los medios de comunicación, sino también con la educación, pero ¿qué tipo de educación se parla? O generamos conciencia de hombres y mujeres, lo que queremos en general, para la convivencia de los jóvenes, es que venito Juárez, lo decía con mucha claridad, la paz comienza para el derecho a gente. Creo que hay que multiplicar esta orientación,
esta orientación, esta educación, y esto comportamiento social. La sociedad es la resultante de quiénes la componen. Si nosotros estamos viviendo permanentemente violencia, y esto lo ven como contiguiano, su comportamiento van a reaccionar. We are surrounded by problems that many times, and then there is also what we know as social violence. On the other hand, I know violence is one and hunger. When a family can't commit to their children, it is true that these days, we can also inherit the incipient el estado. It's true that we can't talk about, we are not the same, today, by our own public government, it's not the same, it's not the same, it's the same, it's the same.
For example, the comportamiento policial, the original function of that institution is as a force for the prevention of crime, and the original values have been supported. The original values have been supported from a force of prevention of crime. Our police forces have been that form originaria de la gestitución policial that prevents all those social crimes. The same force that we look for, our legal system. The same force that we look for, our legal system of values just as a force of prevention and therefore, the strong force of the repression. And I think this is our intent in the social and the executive power for other designated policies. The political power of the system is not far from the system of taking that government a influence a reaction political呢. That's OK then.
Don't be in the them all pretty into the . I believe that the local behavior of the socialists needs to be there, and in order for them to be in the same position, it will be necessary to understand it, and it will be necessary to deepen the new concept of economy. It is characterized by great economic resources in the hands of just a few in the creation of resources of one's own, and the exclusion of the majority of great social sectors. I do detect some new haps and elements of work in the present time. We are seeing non-governmental movements. There are new and strong mental movements that are new and strong, perhaps they could be referred to in certain phenomena,
but there is a rise of groups that have formed in order to defend their rights, to implement certain situations that are clear. It is clear that people no longer accept what they accept, and now the words of the politicians, or the officials, that there are more, for example, freedom in much more critical with the authorities. I see, in this view, almost in all of America, Argentina, Hungary, the Democrats, and in a certain way, in a recon case, seems to be that people are making use of what's very critical of the people. There are at least people who are trying to be heard in a new way. Perhaps it relates to your work in Brazil. Perhaps it has been related to the work of peaceful justice.
Yes, evidently, there is an obvious sense here that one presents a number of non-governmental organizations in society. I believe that this leads to new forms of peaceful justice, and that are now assuming the role of actors, and the role of actors. at present are very strong in our immerse. And this is important, as to how abandoning the single-grid science is supposed to write. I support about all the religious and moral 1900s. Also called
and revo. This is another new element in the scenario international, and that is a tendency to reduce national economy. In other words, in the case of Pinochet, the election is very clear that it is unprecedented. No, we can't kill it. We can't kill it. We can't kill it. This is her scene. This is the situation. The situation is international. This is the conduct and the human literature's emanates, and that before it was previously the president, it was impossible to arrest the president, bringing him over to the problem. It was impossible to arrest the president, but now Pinochet has not only been in a lot of trust, and many other heads of the state have been subjected to international pressure and accusations due to their kind of accusations, international as per their conduct, and this seems to me to be the only example that could also reduce the frequency of the future of human rights abuses.
Where is the origin of this product, the industry, the human rights groups, international change, and even the government around the world opinion-publica in the whole world, meaning to cases such as violence, kind of judge, approach, charges against the country. Do you think that this is the other part of our government? Well, no, it's a positive step. It's not all of this. It's not the case. I've never read the book. However, it's not limited to the public. I'm a bit overworked, because we don't know where it was, we're in the hands of a common criminal who committed suicide and who fired them out of poverty in order to extinguish it. So I mean, what is it like it's more a non-governmental createdDZP in regions around
But the national legislation in other countries, the French court, in other states, that is what they did in the case. The justice in France can be judged in ausences, and it is responsible for the murder of the French court. And it was condemned in ausences to the perpetrator. In the case of Cuega-Rson in Spain, the legislation in Spain cannot be judged in ausences. The Spanish legislation was not able to be judged in ausences to the perpetrator. The Cuega-Rson was to be judged in ausences to the perpetrator. I believe that we are advancing in the right of the United Nations and already in the right of the international court.
The United Nations is sanctioned by the international court. I believe that we are in the right of the international court. But in the right of the international court, we are in the right of the international court. First, because of Cuega-Rson, because of Cuega-Rson, because of Cuega-Rson, I believe that we are in the right of the international court.
In the right of the international court, we are in the right of the international court. In the right of the international court, we are in the right of the international court. In the right of the international court, we are in the right of the international court. In the right of the international court, we are in the right of the international court.
In the right of the international court, we are in the right of the international court. In the right of the international court, we are in the right of the international court. In the right of the international court, we are in the right of the international court. In the right of the international court, we are in the right of the international court.
All these things remain inside of us. In the right of the international court, we are in the right of the international court. Even to the wind. In the right of the international court, we are in the right of the international court.
In the right of the international court, we are in the right of the international court. Thank you very much. Thank you very much.
