to teach the fine arts of repression in Latin America.

Now, Venezuela is about to open "The School of American Human Rights" on Oct. 2 in Caracas.

Gabriela Ramírez -- "The school will be based on the classic perceptions of fundamental human rights and incorporate new concepts in the light of changes in humanity."

Venezuela será sede de Escuela de Derechos Humanos de América

La Escuela de los Derechos Humanos de América será inaugurada el próximo 2 de octubre en Caracas, Venezuela.

Así lo anunció la defensora del pueblo de ese país, Gabriela Ramírez, durante una visita realizada este sábado a Barquisimeto, capital de estado Lara, ubicada a 367 kilómetros de Caracas.

"Nosotros aspiramos a que esta Escuela de Derechos Humanos se convierta, en una de las universidades más completas del continente americano en esta área", expresó Ramírez.

Destacó que la escuela se apoya en los preceptos clásicos que existen en materia de derechos fundamentales, pero incorporándole nuevos conceptos a la luz de los cambios que se han producido en la humanidad.

1. But, hey, how can the graduates expect to gain control of countries, then?

It's only through the VIOLATION of human rights that you can gain real power! You TAKE it from others.

This is so radical. Has to be a first, no doubt.

Looking forward to see what happens on the way to October 2nd, and after October 2nd. The very presence of s school like this will probably drive some people insane!

Thanks for the news, rabs.

2. At least as a matter of principle, this deserves to be celebrated. Hoping for the best. (nt)

3. "The School of American Human Rights"
