ON COOPERATION THE INTERNATIONAL
Automatically translated into English thanks to WorldLingo
What means international cooperation?

For some decades there is an increasing interest of the population towards a type of disinterested action in favor of the marginalized ones or discriminating. Associations, groups of volunteers and consistent strips of the population are mobilized, in some occasions, to give a positive contribution, opening itself to the new sensitivity that rejects the suffering in other humans and whom the necessity sees “to do” something to change the things. This contribution becomes through actions very small and limited, which they do not try to change everything nor to question the problems that are generated to the root of the deficiencies and the suffering of million people, thus preferring “concrete and effective” improvements.

Against this background are the ONG that more and more have space in mass media and wake up attention and increasing affection in the population; it is seen or a behavior different from is expected of these which have the official or traditional institutions. An effectiveness is expected of them “” that is not observed in the present political mechanisms.

Still more, the only activity that the ONG make do people to him is to take money, peculiar coincidence with the neoliberal scheme, whose only value is the money. With the aid of the banks that make available their current accounts, these organizations “administer with effectiveness” these sometimes succulent bottoms, to fix the damages that these same multinationals and banks are creating in the third world (and in second and in first…), and thus they go? cleaning? the reputation of these companies.

Another contradictory aspect which we observed throughout the time, and that releases coverall in the action of the ONG in the call? third world: the ONG (at least the great organizations) are used like an instrument strategic of the countries of the North, allowing to debilitate the poor State and to debilitate to the towns being occurred an image of “defenders of the humanity”.
Indeed, these ONG can trasformar in the operative arm of institutions like the World Bank and the IMF, that have been created by the rich countries to assure the political and economic control. At the outset the money is lent very easily to a handful of corrupt leaders, who use it with their friends for their own benefits. But soon, the Bank considers that it is the country that has filled of debts, and therefore, it is requested to him to all the population of rembolsar. The bank makes pressure on the governments to diminish the budgets of education and health. VM and the IMF also make pressure so that the State sells its water, the electricity, the telecommunications, is what it is called privatizations.
In fact, the countries of the South ones already reimbursed near 6 times which must, to finish 3.5 fuller times of debts (because of the interest system). These debts are not those of the population, nevertheless, is the population that pays them and, finally, are the countries of the South those that give the money to the countries of the North and not the inverse one, as it creates most of the opinion publishes.

We remembered then as the humanitarian action served as pretext for the armed intervention in countries not totally dominated and is of a strategic importance for the rich countries, bringing medicines and foods soon to exert the power on the population (as it happened with the blue Helmets in Somalia). Sometimes the ONGs is used to obtain commercial markets (thus it is as the market of the water has been obtained by the Vivendi society in Bosnia).

Then the population attends of way not very conscious à this trade of the Cooperation, and is peculiar to observe like people of good will, but in short vision, it participates to this very contradictory scheme: really create that the economic donation is the only thing that can help all those unfortunate ones, that is the publicity that these ONG want to make believe.

On the other hand, the vital experience of the volunteers pushes them a dilemma without commitments:

They can accept the established thing and end up becoming a species of civil employees, used by the system as opposed to to serve as palliative the disasters that they same have generated. In this case the not-felt one overcomes the battle and its experience would be like that of many old militants who “have burned themselves” by not to have lived with coherence the cause to which has dedicated their better efforts.

Or they can denounce the root of the conflicts and find in they themselves and others the force to change the direction of the events. That Force, that is emanated by the depth of the human heart, surpasses the limits of the consolation fraterno and custom-made feeds the construction of a new world of the human being. Its experience, therefore, gives a strong sense and cheers that it grows with the coherence. And that creative flame, that is nourished anywhere in the world with the humble and shared in common action of million volunteers, is the one that gives sense to the mundialización of which others speak.

Finally, as opposed to the present situation of the Cooperation the International, where, beyond the question of the good one or the bad faith, when the bottoms finish, everything finishes and where neither the State nor the companies make nothing to solve these problems, the action humanist tries to leave the humanitarista scheme and tries to deepen the subject in this European Forum of Milan 2008, looking for the new sensitivity and new actions for all the organizations and the specialists who will participate. The humanists, in coherence with which they have been raising for years in this field already, propose four subjects to consider in an evolutionary action in the Cooperation: 1. He is not paternalista; 2. One is based on the reciprocity between that helps and who receives this aid; 3. It must be to the base, organized in population and 4. It has? to touch? the necessities of people.


We want to share with You, activists and specialists in this field, these questions as possible guide by Round Mesa in the Forum of Milan:

As it is, sharing this evaluation on the present situation, the future of the international cooperation?
It is possible to be left I circulate vicious of the money that makes work this sector in a so mercantilista direction?
As to leave the influence of the IMF and the VM?
That experience knows or proposes of situations or country that lives this subject on a different way?
The European States can take example from Bolivia (case CIADI) or other reality to defend the interests of the populations?
That vital experiences, for the volunteer in cooperation, we can rescue like valued and deep, that give a sense to this activity and that they impel towards a transforming direction?

A warm greeting for you and the hope to see us in Milan soon, the 4, 5 and 6 of April
