Dear Colleague:
Although I just
sent you my new article on the future of Latin America in the context of the
rise of China, I am writing now to share a separate, just published work on a
different subject: the potential role (and associated legal and human rights
considerations) of Western Hemisphere militaries realizing legally assigned
duties to control borders and help address refugee crises.
This work was
inspired by an important event of the Conference of the American Armies (CAA)
on the subject that I participated in, in Guatemala City, this May. The
current migrant challenges in the news regarding both Venezuelans, and Central
Americans give the questions considered by the representatives of the Armies of
the Western Hemisphere particular relevance today.
As always, the
article is included here as a PDF file. It is also available through the
SOUTHCOM journal Dialogo, which published it, in English, Spanish and Portugese
(many thanks to Dialogo for the opportunity ,and the translation):
As always, thank
you for your interest in my work, and the opportunity to continue in touch
through this medium...
Respectfully,
Evan Ellis
