Brasil necesita 1,9 millones de trabajadores cualificados


30.05.2011


“No podemos comparar la emigración de los años cuarenta a los sesenta, cuando la gente se iba sin nada, sin formación, sin recursos, cuando la gente se iba por necesidad, con la emigración de hoy. La gente no tiene hambre. No tendrá empleo, pero no tiene hambre. Además, tiene formación, ha viajado y seguramente domina idiomas”. Pilar Pin, directora general de Ciudadanía Española en el Exterior, lleva meses intentando matizar el concepto de emigración ligado a la crisis económica en España. Hasta el punto de que el Gobierno prefiere hablar de “movilidad” temporal de los jóvenes, no de emigración.

La directora general reconoce que existe esa demanda de profesionales cualificados en Latinoamérica. “En España, nuestro tejido industrial no puede absorber todo lo que genera nuestro sistema educativo, que es de los mejores del mundo. Es una disfunción que se complementa [con la demanda en otros países]. Que estos profesionales se vayan por el mundo es una aspiración española largamente acariciada, es el reconocimiento de nuestros investigadores y profesionales y se da en toda América, desde Canadá hasta toda Latinoamérica”.

Dicho esto, añade que “desgraciadamente no se están yendo”. Una de las tareas de Pin es poner las cosas fáciles a los españoles que quieran irse a través de acuerdos con los países de destino. Países que aparentemente presentan grandes oportunidades, en realidad ocultan dificultades para los españoles. Por ejemplo, en Brasil: “Su potencial es enorme y con retos inmediatos, como el mundial, los juegos olímpicos, la cobertura energética, el tratamiento medioambiental, el despegue del turismo”.

El día 2 de marzo se reunió con el ministro de Trabajo brasileño, Carlos Lupi, en Brasilia. “Me dijo en su despacho que Brasil necesita 1,9 millones de personas de alta cualificación y que España las tenía”. Sin embargo, los jóvenes con estudios superiores españoles en paro no se van. “La legislación de implantación de empresas en Brasil es muy restrictiva”, asegura Pin. “Los trabajadores de una empresa que se va a Brasil tienen un permiso de estancia por obra”, lo que dura su contrato. En cuanto a establecerse por su cuenta, “es muy difícil, las leyes dificultan que la gente tome esa opción”.

De la misma forma, Brasil “puede que necesite unos 28 000 profesores de español nativos”. Pero, aunque en España se puedan encontrar esas personas, no se irán con unos sueldos que son “la cuarta parte que en España. Es una contradicción del Estado brasileño” declarar el español como prioridad en la enseñanza y demandar profesionales pero no elevar la remuneración”, opina Pin.

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 –––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.
