Public Administration and Development Management

Involvement in Public Administration: For the fulfillment of its objectives, ALDHU has an extensive Network of Institutional Relations and alliances in the region and internationally: ALDHU has historically had a lot of support from important personalities in the field of politics and public administration in Latin America. An example of them is that the current president and Juan Pablo Letelier, current Senator of the Republic of Chile and Juan de Dios Parra, a lawyer strongly implicated in the Chilean socialist party and widely known for defending causes related to the violation of Human Rights in different countries in Latin America, even leading lawsuits against multinationals that have interests in countries such as Colombia, Ecuador and Chile. Based on the contacts of the organization throughout Latin America and the important governmental collaboration, large-scale actions have been carried out that could not have been carried out without the collaboration of the authorities. Actions such as: The transfer of people in armed conflicts (1995-1998) Conflict promotion operations (1996,1997,2008,2010) Humanitarian protection due to natural disasters to marginalized communities (1998, 1999,2006) Protection of the Human Rights of victims of political violence and support for the recovery of democracy. (1989-2019) Thus, the organization has linked with state administrative bodies to ensure the protection of human rights. Some of them are : Local Authorities: Association of Municipalities of Ecuador, Ecuadorian Federation of Prefectures and Local Authorities, Chilean Association of Municipalities, Association of Municipalities of Alto Arriare in Colombia, Municipality of El Alto (Bolivia); as well as the support of a large part of the governments where there is a member of the association.
