1. SIGN ON letter to U.N. - Declare Environmental Security a Human Right
Date: November 10, 1998
From: Alice McCombs <earthwins@earthwins.com>
For Wide Distribution
One Month to the 50th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
On December 10th, let's send a letter to the Secretary General of the
U.N.
that asks the U.N. to officially declare environmental security --
the
right to clean air, clean soil, and clean water -- a human right.
Please sign on to the letter below by December 9th. Add your name,
organization if desired, and country to the letter, then email letter
back
to earthwins@earthwins.com
Thank you!

His Excellency Kofi Annan
U.N. Secretary General
United Nations Headquarters
NY, NY 10017
Dear Secretary General Annan:
Fifty years ago on this day, representatives of countries from around
the
world agreed to make the "Universal Declaration of Human Rights" the
United
Nation's official standard for human rights.
Despite this momentous achievement, today "business as usual" means
the
ongoing violation of human rights by multinational corporations. To
generate profits for shareholders, corporations not only condemn people
to
sweatshop slavery, subvert democracy wherever it exists and use
paramilitary forces for torture and murder. Corporations also destroy
natural resources in every country.
In the 30 articles of the Declaration, the right to a clean environment
is
not mentioned. We believe an official recognition that every person
has a
right to live in an unpolluted environment is necessary to motivate
people,
corporations and nations to work together to solve the serious
environmental problems the human community faces today.
Therefore, we ask Your Excellency and the United Nations to officially
declare environmental security -- the right to clean air, clean soil
and,
clean water -- a human right.
Sincerely,
Alice McCombs, EarthWINS, United States

3. U.S.: Does the U.S. ARMY Train Terrorist's
From: CLaw7MAn@webtv.net (M. Steindel)
Date: Sat, 24 Oct 1998 13:55:11 -0700 (PDT)
Sender: owner-dti-discuss@envirolink.org
It's the Western Hemisphere's red-hot center of terrorism and torture,
some say ... and it's located in Fort Benning, Ga. Next month, activists
are launching a campaign against the U.S. Army's controversial School
of
the Americas. Human Rights Guide Kevin Reid tells why.
http://humanrights.miningco.com/library/weekly/aa101798.htm
On November 21-22, thousands of people will gather at the main gate
of
Fort Benning in Columbus, Georgia to demand the closure of the U.S.
Army's School of the Americas, a training school for soldiers and
military personnel from Latin American countries. Graduates of the
SOA
have been implicated in hundreds of acts of torture, rape,
assassination, "disappearances," and massacres.
Last year, 601 people were arrested for "crossing the line" on to the
base in a silent funeral procession. This year, organizers are asking
1,000 people to repeat this act of civil disobedience.
Over the next few weeks, in conjunction with the Interreligious
Taskforce on Central America based in Cleveland, Ohio, we will focus
on
the School of the Americas and why activists want it shut down.

Introduction
*
Activists across the country report increasing government harassment
and
disruption of their work:
… In the Southwest, paid informers infiltrate the church services, Bible
classes and support networks of clergy and lay workers giving sanctuary
to
refugees from El Salvador and Guatamala.
… In Alabama, elderly Black people attempting for the first time to
exercise their right to vote are interrogated by FBI agents and hauled
before federal grand juries hundreds of miles from their homes.
… In New England, a former CIA case officer cites examples from his
own
past work to warn college students of efforts by undercover operatives
to
misdirect and discredit protests against South African and US racism.
… In the San Francisco Bay Area, activists planning anti-nuclear civil
disobedience learn that their meetings have been infiltrated by the
US Navy.
… In Detroit, Seattle, and Philadelphia, in Cambridge, MA, Berkeley,CA.,
Phoenix, AR., and Washington, DC., churches and organizations opposing
US
policies in Central America report obviously political break-ins in
which
important papers are stolen or damaged, while money and valuables are
left
untouched. License plates on a car spotted fleeing one such office
have
been traced to the US National Security Agency.
… In Puerto Rico, Texas and Massachusetts, labor leaders, community
organizers, writers and editors who advocate Puerto Rican independence
are
branded by the FBI as "terrorists," brutally rounded-up in the middle
of
the night, held incommunicado for days and then jailed under new preventive
detention laws.
… The FBI puts the same "terrorist" label on opponents of US intervention
in El Salvador, but refuses to investigate the possibility of a political
conspiracy behind nation-wide bombings of abortion clinics.
… Throughout the country, people attempting to see Nicaraguafor themselves
find their trips disrupted, their private papers confiscated, and their
homes and offices plagued by FBI agents who demand detailed personal
and
political information.
These kinds of government tactics violate our fundamental constitutional
rights. They make it enormously difficult to sustain grass-roots
organizing. They create an atmosphere of fear and distrust which undermines
any effort to challenge official policy.
Similar measures were used in the 1960s as part of a secret FBI program
known as "COINTELPRO." COINTELPRO was later exposed and officially
ended.
But the evidence shows that it actually persisted and that clandestine
operations to discredit and disrupt opposition movements have become
an
institutional feature of national and local government in the US. This
pamphlet is designed to help current and future activists learn from
the
history of COINTELPRO, so that our movements can better withstand such
attack.
The first section gives a brief overview of what we know the FBI did
in the
60s. It explains why we can expect similar government intervention
in the
80s and beyond, and offers general guidelines for effective response.
The main body of the pamphlet describes the specific methods which have
previously been used to undermine domestic dissent and suggests steps
we
can take to limit or deflect their impact.
A final chapter explores ways to mobilize broad public protest against
this
kind of repression.
Further readings and groups that can help are listed in back. The
pamphlet's historical analysis is based on confidential internal documents
prepared by the FBI and police during the 60s.
It also draws on the post-60s confessions of disaffected government
agents,
and on the testimony of public officials before Congress and the courts.
Though the information from these sources is incomplete, and much of
what
was done remains secret, we now know enough to draw useful lessons
for
future organizing.
The suggestions included in the pamphlet are based on the author's 20
years
experience as an activist and lawyer, and on talks with long-time
organizers in a broad range of movements. They are meant to provide
starting points for discussion, so we can get ready before the pressure
intensifies. Most are amatter of common sense once the methodology
of
covert action is understood.
Please take these issues seriously. Discuss the recommendations with
other
activists. Adapt them to the conditions you face. Point out problems
and
suggest other approaches. It is important that we begin now to protect
our
movements and ourselves.
