A bomba-relógio dos lixões
A escola municipal infantil construída sobre um lixão desativado
em Vila Nova Cachoeirinha, São Paulo, e o deslizamento
do morro do Bumba, em Niterói (RJ), representam só a ponta de
um iceberg. Não se conhece ao certo a extensão dessa ameaça
ambiental subterrânea.
Em décadas passadas, não havia no país capacidade técnica
para administrar de forma adequada resíduos tóxicos de origem
industrial e doméstica. O usual era depositá-los a céu aberto, sem
impermeabilização do solo, em lixões desprovidos de limites
precisos. Aterrados, ficaram disponíveis para a expansão urbana
e terminaram ocupados por favelas, parques e até escolas.
A remediação do problema, no Estado de São Paulo, começou
para valer só no século 21. Em 2002, a Cetesb – Companhia Estadual
de Saneamento Ambiental – publicou a primeira relação de
áreas contaminadas, com 255 locais. Com a identificação paulatina
de mais e mais terrenos contaminados no passado, em seis anos a
lista saltava para 2 514 pontos de contaminação.
Na capital do Estado encontram-se 781 dessas áreas. A grande
maioria (657) são postos de combustíveis com vazamentos. Mas
há 21 depósitos de lixo relacionados e nada menos que 11 680
áreas potenciais de contaminação, cujo risco ainda carece de investigação
e avaliação – o que em geral ocorre quando se solicita
à prefeitura uma licença de mudança de uso, por exemplo para
construção de imóveis.
Não foi o caso da escola paulistana, inaugurada em 1988. Em
1999, a área foi oficialmente declarada como contaminada. Em
2006, medições constataram alta concentração do gás metano, com
risco de explosão. Em 2007, decidiu-se que a escola seria fechada,
e os alunos, transferidos, mas eles ainda estão lá.
Não basta, já se vê, fazer mapeamentos. É preciso que o poder
público aja de maneira tempestiva para afastar ao menos os riscos
que já são conhecidos.

Presidente filipina nomeia manicure para posto-chave
A presidente filipina Gloria Arroyo designou a própria manicure para um cargo bem remunerado em uma agência governamental de Habitação, uma decisão criticada pelo candidato favorito às eleições presidenciais por considerá-la própria de uma política do “clientelismo”.
Anita Carpon, manicure da presidente Arroyo e considerada estilista, foi nomeada no conselho de administração de uma agência responsável por financiar as casas dos funcionários, anunciou Gary Olivar, porta-voz da presidência.
Ela receberá um salário mensal equivalente a 2 900 dólares, o dobro do que recebe a presidente Arroyo, segundo a imprensa.
A nomeação foi muito criticada pelo candidato favorito às eleições presidenciais de 10 de maio, Benigno Aquino, filho da ex-presidente Corazón Aquino.
“Acentua a cultura do clientelismo político no país ao nomear as pessoas que são leais para postos delicados sem preocupação com a qualificação”, disse Butch Abad, diretor da campanha de Aquino.

Police and Human Rights – Manual for Police Training
How can respecting human rights help the police?
Respect for human rights by law enforcement agencies actually enhances the effectiveness of those agencies. Where human rights are systematically respected, police officers have developed professionalism in their approaches to solving and preventing crime and maintaining public order. In this sense, respect for human rights by police is, in addition to being a moral, legal and ethical imperative, also a practical requirement for law enforcement. When the police are seen to respect, uphold and defend human rights:
• Public confidence is built and community cooperation fostered.
• Legal prosecutions are successful in court.
• Police are seen as part of the community, performing a valuable social function.
• The fair administration of justice is served, and, consequently, confidence in the system.
• An example is set for respect for the law by others in the society.
• Police are able to be closer to the community, and, therefore, in a position to prevent and solve crimes through proactive policing.
• Support is elicited from the media, from the international community, and from higher authorities.
• A contribution is made to the peaceful resolution of conflicts and complaints.
An effective police service is one that serves as the first line of defense in the protection of human rights. Its members carry out their work in a way, which does not rely upon fear and raw power but, on the contrary, is based on regard for the law, honor, and professionalism.
What role does training play in protecting human rights?
The effective training of police in human rights is an essential element in the global efforts to promote and protect human rights in every country. In order to protect human rights, the police must first know and understand them. Furthermore, police officers must be familiar with the various international guidelines and bodies of principles – such as the Code of Conduct for law enforcement officials and the principles on the use of force and firearms – and be able to use them as tools in their everyday work. They must understand the fact that international human rights standards concerning their work were developed to provide invaluable guidance for the performance of their crucial functions in a democratic society. However, police officers in the line of duty should know not only what the rules are, but also how to do their job effectively within the confines of those rules.
Doesn’t concern for human rights hinder effective police work?
Most people have heard the argument that respect for human rights is somehow opposed to effective law enforcement. And effective law enforcement means to capture the criminal. And to secure his conviction, it is necessary to “bend the rules” a little. A tendency to use overwhelming force in controlling demonstrations, physical pressure to extract information from detainees, or excessive force to secure an arrest can be observed now and then. In this way of thinking, law enforcement is a war against crime, and human rights are merely obstacles thrown in the path of the police by lawyers and NGOs. In fact, violations of human rights ... police only make the already challenging task of law enforcement ... . When the law enforcer ___________ the lawbreaker, the result is an assault on human dignity, on the law itself and on all institutions of public authority.

They must understand the fact that international human rights standards concerning their work were developed to provide invaluable guidance for the performance of their crucial functions in a democratic society. However, police officers in the line of duty should know not only what the rules are, but also how to do their job effectively within the confines of those rules.
Doesn’t concern for human rights hinder effective police work?
Most people have heard the argument that respect for human rights is somehow opposed to effective law enforcement. And effective law enforcement means to capture the criminal.

In this way of thinking, law enforcement is a war against crime, and human rights are merely obstacles thrown in the path of the police by lawyers and NGOs. In fact, violations of human rights ––– 78––– police only make the already challenging task of law enforcement ––– 79––– . When the law enforcer ––– 80––– the lawbreaker, the result is an assault on human dignity, on the law itself and on all institutions of public authority.

Police and Human Rights – Manual for Police Training
How can respecting human rights help the police?
Respect for human rights by law enforcement agencies actually enhances the effectiveness of those agencies. Where human rights are systematically respected, police officers have developed professionalism in their approaches to solving and preventing crime and maintaining public order. In this sense, respect for human rights by police is, in addition to being a moral, legal and ethical imperative, also a practical requirement for law enforcement. When the police are seen to respect, uphold and defend human rights:
• Public confidence is built and community cooperation fostered.
• Legal prosecutions are successful in court.
• Police are seen as part of the community, performing a valuable social function.
• The fair administration of justice is served, and, consequently, confidence in the system.
• An example is set for respect for the law by others in the society.
• Police are able to be closer to the community, and, therefore, in a position to prevent and solve crimes through proactive policing.
• Support is elicited from the media, from the international community, and from higher authorities.
• A contribution is made to the peaceful resolution of conflicts and complaints.
An effective police service is one that serves as the first line of defense in the protection of human rights. Its members carry out their work in a way, which does not rely upon fear and raw power but, on the contrary, is based on regard for the law, honor, and professionalism.
What role does training play in protecting human rights?
The effective training of police in human rights is an essential element in the global efforts to promote and protect human rights in every country. In order to protect human rights, the police must first know and understand them. Furthermore, police officers must be familiar with the various international guidelines and bodies of principles – such as the Code of Conduct for law enforcement officials and the principles on the use of force and firearms – and be able to use them as tools in their everyday work.
