General Framework
When we made our proposal, we emphasized the uptrend in the direction of change in South America and the strengthening of unity and cooperation trends.
We spoke of a continent in a ferment and of the force of social initiatives. These trends have grown stronger and we believe that today at least three or four trends need to be taken into consideration:
1st: The USA’s (...) |

In the insistent efforts to develop a proposal to humanize the planet and the country, the Charter of Human Responsibilities meeting allowed us to truly envision a NEW PILLAR FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A WORLD IN SOLIDARITY. The Charter, along with the Declaration of Human Rights and the Earth Charter, confirmed our need to work on building a Culture of Human Responsibilities. We need to (...) |

The emphases we have selected correspond to the original project, they are reduced (...) |

Methodology - 10 de janeiro de 2005

From 1973 to 1977, I took part in the resistance (...) |
