美国总统布什访问危地马拉,讨论贸易和移民问题。目前他正在拉丁美洲进行为期一周的访问。布什星期一将在危地马拉城会晤危地马拉总统奥斯卡.贝尔赫。预计两位领导人将讨论成千上万在美国非法工作的危地马拉人的身份问题。布什提出了一项“客工”计划,这项计划允许部份非法移民继续留在美国。
危地马拉一位官员对路透社说,贝尔赫总统将请求美国帮助更新用来打击毒品走私者的军事装备。
在会谈之前,布什将参观一个从两国自由贸易中获益的蔬菜包装公司。他还将前往危地马拉的圣克鲁斯-巴兰亚,会见在那里为该地区原住民提供基本医疗服务的美国军医。
U.S. President George Bush is in Guatemala for talks on immigration and trade issues as he continues his week-long tour of Latin America. Mr. Bush will meet his Guatemalan counterpart, Oscar Berger, Monday in Guatemala City. The two leaders are expected to discuss the status of thousands of Guatemalans working illegally in the United States. President Bush has proposed a "guest worker" program that would allow some illegal immigrants to remain in the country.
A Guatemalan official told the Reuters news agency that Mr. Berger will ask for U.S. help in upgrading military equipment used to fight drug traffickers.
Ahead of the talks, Mr. Bush will visit a vegetable packing facility that benefits from free trade with the the United States. He also will travel to the Guatemalan town of Santa Cruz Balanya to meet with U.S. military doctors providing basic health care to the indigenous people of the area.
联合国小组表示苏丹卷入达尔富尔战争罪行 (UN Team Says Sudan is Orchestrating Crimes in Darfur)
联合国一个人权小组指责苏丹政府直接卷入达尔富尔地区的战争罪行。联合国人权小组星期一在日内瓦发表报告说,苏丹政府“未能保护达尔富尔的人口免遭大规模国际暴行的侵害,自己策划并参与了这些罪行”。报告还说:“这个地区的战争罪和反人类罪仍在继续。”
联合国的这个小组由诺贝尔和平奖得主乔迪.威廉姆斯负责。联合国人权委员会派遣威廉姆斯调查有关苏丹西部达尔富尔地区广泛践踏人权的指控。
2003年以来,非阿拉伯人的反政府武装与政府扶持的武装组织之间的战斗造成20多万人死亡,至少200万人流离失所。
A U.N. human rights team is accusing Sudan's government of direct involvement with war crimes in Darfur. The U.N. human rights group issued a report Monday in Geneva that says the government has "failed to protect the population of Darfur from large-scale international crimes, and has itself orchestrated and participated in these crimes." The report also says "war crimes and crimes against humanity continue across the region."
The U.N. team was headed by Nobel Peace Prize laureate Jody Williams, who was sent by the U.N. Human Rights Council to investigate charges of widespread abuse in Sudan's western Darfur region.
Fighting between non-Arab rebels and militias mobilized by the Sudanese government has killed more than 200-thousand people and displaced at least two million since 2003.
