Spanish/Nat
Colombian President Andres Pastrana has unveiled a 3.5 (b) billion (U-S) dollars fund to finance the country's peace process.
The project aims to gather its fund from foreign and domestic loans.
The Inter American Development Bank President has also promised an extra 1.6 (b) billion (U-S) dollars in loans to support a fiscal reform programme.
President Andres Pastrana has introduced an Investment Fund for Peace as part of an effort to end the long-running civil war in Colombia.
The project aims to gather an estimated 3.5 (b) billion (U-S) dollars from public and private capital to boost the living standards of poor peasants living in areas affected by the violence.
The President of the Interamerican Development Bank, Enrique Iglesias, expressed his support of the project at a Presidential Palace launch.
SOUNDBITE: (Spanish)
"We know that the difficulties will end and in that respect the international community - we as a bank and old friends of this country - simply want to make ourselves present in every possible way in order to support them."
SUPER CAPTION: Enrique Iglesias, Inter American Development Bank Chief
The government will receive a 4 (b) billion (US) dollars loan between 1998 and 1999.
But for the government the priority is to achieve peace in the country.
It is hoped this will offer the best chance for defeating drug trafficking.
Pastrana is scheduled to visit Washington on Tuesday for the first state visit in 30 years by a Colombian president.
Speaking on Thursday, he said he will not let the drug war impede his efforts to reach a peace deal with Colombia's rebel groups.
SOUNDBITE: (Spanish)
"My government will not allow peace to be hijacked by narcotics because we're strongly convinced that the prolongation of the internal conflict in Colombia benefits mainly the drug lords. That's why drug traffickers are the most interested in lengthening the conflict and prevent reconciliation among Colombians."
SUPER CAPTION: Andres Pastrana, President of Colombia
Colombia exports more than 80 percent of the world's cocaine.
Perhaps the only way of reducing narcotraffic in Colombia will be through the settlement of a sustained and lasting peace.

Support to Defence Sector Reforms in Serbia
Since July 2006 the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) in close cooperation with the Ministry of Defence has successfully implemented the NATO/PfP Trust Fund Project for Assistance to Discharged Defence Personnel in the Republic of Serbia (NTF project). Building on a wide IOM's multi-year worldwide experience in the field of resettlement and reintegration of regular and irregular military and security sector personnel, this project has achieved excellent results in many fronts, becoming a model on how resettlement activities resulting from defence reforms should be managed.
The NTF project, as all other NATO/PfP Trust Fund projects, has been funded by voluntary contributions from individual Allies and Partnership for Peace countries, also allowing donors to join the project in any phase of project implementation. Nowadays, it has been supported by 18 donor nations: Norway as a lead nation, Italy, Denmark, the Netherlands, Spain, Austria, the United Kingdom, Czech Republic, Luxemburg, Slovakia, Slovenia, Finland, Island, Poland, Bulgaria, Hungary and Ireland joined through the Trust Fund that is coordinated in Brussels, as well as Switzerland as external donor.
Thanks to this project and results achieved over the past four-and-half year period the Ministry of Defence of the Republic of Serbia has been able to achieve important national goals in the field of defence reform as well as to further contribute to the stabilisation of the Balkan region.
Moreover, it also confirmed that a painful process like the downsizing of the Army can be conducted in a manner that does not add burden to the social welfare system, contributing instead to the further development of the state economy even in a critical moment of global economic crisis. Today, this project can be considered as one of the most comprehensive and successful Trust Funds ever financed within the NATO/Partnership for Peace framework.
Until the end of January 2011 a total of 5,933 discharged defence personnel, referred by the Ministry of Defence, have received individual counselling, while 4,360 of them received financial assistance to support their reintegration into civilian life. A total of 3,417 new micro and small
enterprises have been registered and 442 former defence staff have found employment in existing companies in Serbia.

Fund for Peace
The Fund for Peace is an Washington, D.C.-based non-profit, non-governmental research and educational institution. Founded in 1957, FFP "works to prevent violent conflict and promote sustainable security."
The Fund for Peace works towards sustainable security and development in failed states by focusing on conflict assessment and early warning, transnational threats, peacekeeping, and security and human rights. The Fund for Peace maintains programs in Nigeria, Uganda, Liberia, and works with private business in conflict zones to better secure the interests of businesses, local populations, and their governments.
FFP publishes the annual Failed States Index, used by researchers, educators, and governments across the world.
History
The Fund for Peace was founded in 1957 by Randolph Compton. The organization was created in the memory of Randolph Compton's youngest son, John Parker Compton, who was killed in World War II. At a young age, John Parker wrote an essay, discussing the effects of war and the need for human civilization to embrace other methods of conflict resolution. After John Parker's death, Compton created the Fund for Peace, an organization based on the ideals of justice, environment, peace, and population.

Howard Zinn
Howard Zinn (August 24, 1922 – January 27, 2010) was an American historian, playwright, and social activist. He was a political science professor at Boston University. Zinn wrote more than twenty books, including his best-selling and influential A People's History of the United States. In 2007, he published a version of it for younger readers, A Young People′s History of the United States.
Zinn described himself as "something of an anarchist, something of a socialist. Maybe a democratic socialist." He wrote extensively about the civil rights and anti-war movements, and labor history of the United States. His memoir, You Can't Be Neutral on a Moving Train, was also the title of a 2004 documentary about Zinn's life and work. Zinn died of a heart attack in 2010, aged 87.
Life and career
Early life
Zinn was born to a Jewish immigrant family in Brooklyn on August 24, 1922. His father, Eddie Zinn, born in Austria-Hungary, emigrated to the U.S. with his brother Samuel before the outbreak of World War I. Howard's mother, Jenny (Rabinowitz) Zinn, emigrated from the Eastern Siberian city of Irkutsk.

The project aims to gather an estimated 3.5 (b) billion (U-S) dollars from public and private capital to boost the living standards of poor peasants living in areas affected by the violence.
The President of the Interamerican Development Bank, Enrique Iglesias, expressed his support of the project at a Presidential Palace launch.

"We know that the difficulties will end and in that respect the international community - we as a bank and old friends of this country - simply want to make ourselves present in every possible way in order to support them."

Pastrana is scheduled to visit Washington on Tuesday for the first state visit in 30 years by a Colombian president.
Speaking on Thursday, he said he will not let the drug war impede his efforts to reach a peace deal with Colombia's rebel groups.

"My government will not allow peace to be hijacked by narcotics because we're strongly convinced that the prolongation of the internal conflict in Colombia benefits mainly the drug lords. That's why drug traffickers are the most interested in lengthening the conflict and prevent reconciliation among Colombians."

Support to Defence Sector Reforms in Serbia
Since July 2006 the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) in close cooperation with the Ministry of Defence has successfully implemented the NATO/PfP Trust Fund Project for Assistance to Discharged Defence Personnel in the Republic of Serbia (NTF project). Building on a wide IOM's multi-year worldwide experience in the field of resettlement and reintegration of regular and irregular military and security sector personnel, this project has achieved excellent results in many fronts, becoming a model on how resettlement activities resulting from defence reforms should be managed.
The NTF project, as all other NATO/PfP Trust Fund projects, has been funded by voluntary contributions from individual Allies and Partnership for Peace countries, also allowing donors to join the project in any phase of project implementation. Nowadays, it has been supported by 18 donor nations: Norway as a lead nation, Italy, Denmark, the Netherlands, Spain, Austria, the United Kingdom, Czech Republic, Luxemburg, Slovakia, Slovenia, Finland, Island, Poland, Bulgaria, Hungary and Ireland joined through the Trust Fund that is coordinated in Brussels, as well as Switzerland as external donor.
Thanks to this project and results achieved over the past four-and-half year period the Ministry of Defence of the Republic of Serbia has been able to achieve important national goals in the field of defence reform as well as to further contribute to the stabilisation of the Balkan region.
Moreover, it also confirmed that a painful process like the downsizing of the Army can be conducted in a manner that does not add burden to the social welfare system, contributing instead to the further development of the state economy even in a critical moment of global economic crisis. Today, this project can be considered as one of the most comprehensive and successful Trust Funds ever financed within the NATO/Partnership for Peace framework.
Until the end of January 2011 a total of 5,933 discharged defence personnel, referred by the Ministry of Defence, have received individual counselling, while 4,360 of them received financial assistance to support their reintegration into civilian life. A total of 3,417 new micro and small
enterprises have been registered and 442 former defence staff have found employment in existing companies in Serbia.

Ridgway Center's Containing Threat Convergence/Exploiting Divergence: U.S. Strategy Day 1 Part 1
In recent years, the notion of threat convergence has become central to much of the national security dialogue in the United States, providing the focus for congressional hearings, an initiative by the Fund for Peace, and the theme of many academic articles. This is perhaps not surprising. Convergence is very attractive both conceptually and politically. It provides a framework for dealing with a variety of complex and distinctive threats, and increases the significance of threats that are otherwise declining or readily manageable. Convergence is also attractive in policy terms, since it justifies “whole of government” approaches -- demands that bureaucratic institutions expand their vision beyond existing silos of jurisdiction and expertise -- and offers opportunities for synergistic stra...
