 Hollywood band Wiseguys, radically camouflaging himself into a rather incognito image that better fit the band Ministry, than the more Glam-looking bands he created or performed with. Seeing the writing on the wall, with the arena styled rock music of the 1980s being phased out in the 1990s, many musicians began to look elsewhere for employment to survive, and so, <mask> began to broaden his horizons and take a personal break from music for a while, and try some new ventures. New interests
After having served five years in the California State Military Reserve (which is a lower civilian branch of the U.S. Army), as a radio operator/communications NCO with the rank of E4 (Corporal), his interest moved on in all things military, which brought him to working in the film industry as an assistant property master, and weapons handler, working on some direct-to-video lower budget films and on the Network syndicated television series Air America, featuring Lorenzo Lamas, and the late Scott Plank, with whom <mask> became close friends. <mask> also dabbled in acting and took several film roles.He worked on the film 'Surface to Air' with Chad McQueen, Melanie Shatner, and Michael Madsen. <mask> acted briefly on the television soap opera General Hospital, acting directly with series anchor 'Luke'-Anthony Geary. <mask> was also one of the featured interview subjects for the VH-1 Cable series 'Driven' for the episode "The Rise of Mötley Crüe" being a close friend of Nikki Sixx and the band, and recommended to VH-1 producers by former Hollywood booking agent Vicky Hamilton (music executive). <mask> is also remembered as one of the featured interview subjects for the legendary Rock film parody, The Decline of Western Civilization Part II: The Metal Years by friend and director Penelope Spheeris. Renaissance and living history/re-enactment pioneer
Through acting, he eventually became involved with the Renaissance Faire scene, and military timeline events such as the Old Fort MacArthur Days where he actively sought and succeeded to bring the noticeably absent Polish 17th century military history into the forefront. <mask> has been referred to by many Polish media correspondents and others as a 'recognized pioneer' in this venture, of creating the first representation in the U.S., of the Polish winged hussar cavalry of central Europe which, apparently, is a part of his ancestry. Polish 17th century military author Bartosz Musialowicz had interviewed him and written an article about Rik, dubbing him with the honorary title of 'The First Saber of the U.S.' for founding and creating the first officially recognized representation of the Polish winged hussar cavalry in American history.Apart from being an internationally recognized rock musician, it is of interest to note that <mask> is the first Polish-American of Polish noble (not 'royal') ancestry, to 'formally', represent the Polish Winged Hussar cavalry in U.S. history. Rock On Press/Polish Origin Among other accomplishments, <mask> had been nominated as the vice-president of the Los Angeles chapter of the Polish American Congress, in which he served a 4-year term augmenting his position in accomplishing raising Polish Historic Awareness and Culture with some recognition of his efforts by the Polish Consul in Los Angeles. He then stepped aside a second-term for family-related reasons. Back to music and the Winged Hussars
<mask> is also involved in co-promotion of the European and Japanese market release of The Steeler Anthology with former bandmate Ron Keel. A discussion of a possible Steeler reunion performance has been left open-ended so far. Although he has not left the music field entirely, broadening his horizons, in recent years, <mask> has taken a new interest in learning the field of natural horsemanship through his wife Tamara, (married on October 1, 2009 in a small private ceremony), and they train their (rescued) horses, while he continues to work on his pursuit of raising Polish historical awareness and culture and military history with their winged hussar group. <mask>, today, is also making a comeback in music.Through Shrapnel Records producer Mike Varney, <mask> has recently re-connected with fellow Steeler bandmate and drummer Mark Edwards. Renewed interest is being shown to Steeler, by DJ Shadow, who expressed interest in using some of Steeler's music for a new project, which will possibly revive an interest in Steeler once again for the next 'Metal Generation' to come as well as previous fans who still listen to their classic album. <mask> <mask> was interviewed in the 2011 book release W.A.S.P. ; A Sting in the Tale by author Darren P. Upton, and asked to share his input on the early days of the band's creation of which he is now known to have been an original founding member of. <mask> was also featured in three more book releases. The first book which will feature <mask>, is by NPR personality Charlie Schroeder, titled Man of War, regarding Schroeder's Walter Mitty-like embedded experiences of participating with various re-enactments of warriors of military history to see and experience what it was like to be those historical warriors. Among the many historical impressions in the book, Schroeder spent a day with <mask>'s Polish Winged Hussar living history group fully suited up in the famous winged armor.In the meantime, The second book, by KISS author Ken Sharp for the New York Times bestseller Nothing to Lose regarding the band KISS in their formative years, of which <mask> was an active part. The book features various first-hand historical anecdotes and exclusive early live photos contributed by <mask>. <mask> <mask> is also slated to be among the featured popular performers in the upcoming coffee table book 'Lost Rockers' scheduled for a 2015 publication release. The third book, by historian Miltiades Varvounis, titled Made in Poland: The Women and Men Who Changed the World, in which <mask> <mask> was included among author's list of the 100 most influential Polish people that changed the world. In promoting his ancestral noble Polish heritage, <mask> was featured as a 17th-century Polish winged hussar cavalry-knight figure in the Documentary film "Path to Glory; The Rise and Rise of the Polish Arabian Horse", as well as having been the featured subject in 2013, for the (Canadian) History Channel cable television series Museum Secrets (Kensington Productions), which selects various curious topics of history and expounds upon them. In <mask>'s case, for the episode dealing with the Moscow State Museum in Russia, and a suit of Polish winged armor on display there, the director and producer sought him out because, in the words of the segment producer: 'of all his active research on the subject and what he has brought to the table with regard to his being the most highly visible contributions of promoting the winged hussars and Polish history in the United States.' The episode dedicated to the winged hussars for Season Three is considered ground-breaking for finally producing valuable information being made available to the mainstream public in the English-language on the winged hussars, which was a major accomplishment and a dream come true for <mask>.In addition to returning to music or reform another band line-up, <mask> <mask> has also recorded bass tracks for the re-make Rascal's song 'I Ain't Gonna Eat Out my Heart Anymore' (originally covered by the band Angel) for the Spiders & Snakes 2014 album release 'The Year of the Snake', and stepped in temporarily replacing bassist Phil St. Vincent for several live shows until Vincent returned. <mask> also left his endorsement deal as an artist endorsing the GHS company, and currently has switched to promoting the DR brand of bass strings, and, has although finally become the owner of a white neck-thru-body Epiphone Thunderbird-IV™ bass, <mask> <mask> "Thunder Eagle™"(c) model bass. This will join his promotion and usage of the EMG bass pickups and Babicz custom bass bridge. Already being a published writer, (based on the entertainment value seen in his many online interviews and adventures), public demand has motivated <mask> to pen his own biography, currently in the works, which promises to be a real catharsis of sorts. <mask> is also writing a book on his creation and introduction of the winged hussars' representation in America. <mask> <mask> is re-entering the music scene making a comeback and, continues to give interviews and currently, is enjoying a resurgence in popularity and in contact with his friends and international fans in Facebook where many facets of his background can be seen there. <mask> is also a graduate and active member of Community Emergency Response Team (CERT), which is an Emergency Management Services augmentation support organization under the Los Angeles City and County Fire Department and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).He also holds a FEMA certificate and four completion certificates from the St. Petersburg College - Southeastern Public Safety Institute - Multijurisdictional Counterdrug Task Force.

In 2016 Yatrofsky appeared in Interview Magazine's cover story “The Activist Issue.” Her debut collection of poems Pink Privacy was published in 2017. Early life and education
<mask> was born in East Brunswick, New Jersey and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada, the youngest of two daughters.She studied Fine Art at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas from 2002 to 2006 and later received her master's degree in photography in 2009 from Parsons the New School for Design. She moved to New York in 2006 where she began photographing both men and women, friends, peers, art models, and other acquaintances. In 2012, "she turned her camera to the women around her, taking portraits of dozens of female friends who in turn suggested more and more women for Yatrofsky to shoot." Work
Yatrofsky is known for her intimate film and photographic work with female and male subjects. She first gained public notice for her work on I Heart Boy, a photo blog dedicated to picturing young men in sweetly provocative ways, which was later adapted into a photography monograph published by PowerHouse Books in 2010 titled I Heart Boy. Yatrofsky developed a following while contributing to the online publication, East Village Boys. Her artwork includes live performances as well as films that explore beauty, gender, body politics, and perception.Yatrofsky wrote and directed her first film, Sun In My Mouth, in 2010 which premiered at the Northside Festival in Brooklyn, New York. In 2014, Yatrofsky directed a fashion film for French designer Jean Paul Gaultier that premiered during men's Fashion Week in Paris. In 2017 her fashion film for Canadian designer Laura Siegel was featured on Vogue. In 2015, Yatrofsky published her follow-up photography monograph titled, I Heart Girl, a collection of photographs of women that explore the complexity of gender identification and its latest collective shifts. In 2016 Strand Bookstore hosted <mask>'s touring panel discussion “Gender Beauty & the Camera.” Guest panelist have included activist and model Rain Dove. From 2012 to 2017 Yatrofsky has been a guest lecturer at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Leslie Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art, International Center for Photography, School of Visual Arts, Pratt University, Parsons the New School for Design, Östra Grevie Folkhögskola, University of Central Oklahoma and University of Nevada Las Vegas.

She performed poetry during Miami Art Basel at the Satellite Art Fair and Performance is Alive with her art collective NY Fem Factory.

Yatrofsky photographed actress Uzo Aduba for the cover of Brooklyn Magazine in 2016 and actress Emily Mortimer in 2011 and actress <mask> in 2017. Reception
New York Press calls her work with male subjects "sensual and soft—a weirdly incongruous beauty that isn't masculine in the traditional sense, but unquestionably male." Her monograph, I Heart Boy, was also ranked #5 on The Advocate's "Top 10". ELLE Magazine also remarked that "Her photos are a provocative—and, in a world full of Terry Richardson types, much-needed—portrayal of male sexuality."<mask>'s photography monograph I Heart Girl was featured on Dazed in "The most exciting new photography books" of 2015. Cosmopolitan Magazine said "The photos are simple and soulful." Nina Bahadur of HuffPost remarked that <mask>'s "book of portraits shows the huge breadth of people that identify as feminine, urging the viewer to rethink female beauty." i-D adding that I Heart Girl is "Confounding traditional representations of women in mass media and undermining institutionalized notions of masculinity and femininity." New York Magazine says <mask>'s work is "Challenging ideas of femininity, masculinity, and the way we think of gender." The New York Times took notice of Yatrofsky's unique collaboration with Jean Paul Gaultier for the 2014 men's wear Paris showcase, "Shooting on the roof of the designer’s building in Paris, the models opened their overcoats like wings under the gray clouds or ran toward the camera with a blue tunic swaying under a jacket." Interview Magazine spoke with Yatrofsky in 2016 about her work as an activist where she stated, "I think art itself can contribute to a gentle revolution where resilience is celebrated and revered."In an October 2017 review for Forbes, Brienne Walsh wrote, “[i]n Pink Privacy, the feminine reigns supreme.” New York Magazine contributor Adam Lehrer said, “Pink Privacy feels like a comedic rebuttal to the oh-so-serious nature of the art world, while still a work of literary art in its own right.” Emily McDermott with i-D wrote “<mask>ky has added poetry to her practice. Pink Privacy is a revelatory approach to the form.” In an interview with Nylon Magazine Yatrofsky said, “...Pink Privacy is a self-portrait in many ways that the photographs are not. The photographs are... you can see what I care about, you can see me in them, but I don’t necessarily feel like I am always representing myself in a portrait of someone else.” In November 2017 Untitled Magazine stated that “<mask>’s most recent creative endeavor, Pink Privacy, continues to fearlessly confront body politics, beauty and gender.”

<mask>,  (born 26 February 1977) is a Welsh rugby union player most famous for his long and successful tenure as a wing for the Ospreys and the Wales national team. He also played scrum-half on occasion. <mask> is the record try scorer for Wales, and is fourth on the international list of leading rugby union test try scorers behind Daisuke Ohata, Bryan Habana and David Campese. He is Wales's most capped winger and is considered to be one of the greatest wingers of all time. In 2008, <mask> was selected as the World Rugby Player of the Year, then known as the IRB Player of the Year. Since his retirement from international rugby in 2012, <mask> has worked as a presenter on S4C's Six Nations rugby programme Y Clwb Rygbi Rhyngwladol, and as a pundit on BBC, ITV and Channel 4 broadcasts as well as third party shows such as "Inside Welsh Rugby", commenting on the grassroots of Welsh rugby. <mask> was selected to the Barbarians squad that played Wales in June 2012.It was originally planned to be his last appearance as a player, but he shortly thereafter signed a one-year contract to play in Japan with Mitsubishi Sagamihara DynaBoars in June 2012. <mask> was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2012 Birthday Honours for services to rugby. <mask> extended his stay in Japan several times, taking on a role as player-coach and turning down an offer from French Top 14 side Toulon in the process. Before finally announcing he would be returning home at the end of the 2014–15 Japanese Top League season. In November 2016, <mask> was inducted into the World Rugby Hall of Fame during opening ceremonies for the Hall's first physical home in Rugby, Warwickshire. Early life

<mask> was born in Morriston in Swansea, but grew up in Glanamman in the Amman Valley. He picked up his first rugby ball while still in primary school, and was always small for his age, even going into secondary school at Amman Valley Comprehensive School (now Ysgol Dyffryn Aman).Told that he was too small to play rugby, <mask> took up football instead, playing for Cwmamman United A.F.C. ; in his first appearance for the club's junior team, <mask> had to play in goal as no one else would volunteer to take the position. <mask>' former junior football coach, Alun Rees, remembers him as a "superb goalkeeper", but notes that he could also play outfield. <mask> played for Cwmamman United up to the senior level, while only playing rugby sporadically, and admits that, at the time, football was "[his] main sport". However, on the day of Cwmamman United's cup final, <mask> was invited to play rugby with his friends at Amman United RFC; Amman United ended up winning by 82 points, with <mask> scoring five tries. Club career
<mask> started his junior career as a scrum-half at Amman United he joined Neath as a second-choice scrum-half. However, it became apparent to Lyn Jones, Neath's then-coach, that <mask> simply could not be left out of the side, and placed him on the right wing, opposite Delme <mask> on the left.However, Delme <mask> had shown a tendency not to kick and chase the ball, resulting in him and <mask> swapping wings. When it came to <mask> signing his first professional contract with Neath, Amman United demanded a transfer fee for him, resulting in negotiations between the two clubs. Nevertheless, <mask> eventually signed for Neath on a contract worth approximately £7,500 per annum, equivalent to his wage at the local Job Centre where he was working part-time. In his final Ospreys match at the Liberty Stadium he finished his career there in a similar style as he did with Wales scoring a try past the 80-minute mark and converted his own try for his final bow at the Liberty. <mask> then, in his last game of professional club rugby, scored 2 tries for the Ospreys in the PRO12 final 30–31 win against Leinster. This included one in the 78th minute to give Dan Biggar what proved to be the winning conversion. <mask> planned to retire from rugby and join Ospreys' backroom staff, but received an offer to play one season in Japan with Mitsubishi Sagamihara DynaBoars, in the second division of the Japanese league system.The Ospreys gave him their blessing for the move, and he took up his staff role with that club upon the expiry of his Japanese contract. He officially retired from playing at the end of the 2013/14 season, although he returned to play for his home village club, Amman United during the 2016 – 2017 season, including a try-scoring appearance in the 2017 WRU Bowl final at the Millennium Stadium. He now works as a commentator and pundit. International career
<mask> was awarded his first cap for Wales by Graham Henry as a replacement against France in the 2000 Six Nations season, he was three weeks short of his 23rd birthday and weighed a little over 11 stone. He scored in his first full start for Wales with a try against Italy in the same Six Nations tournament and went on to score a total of 60 international tries (58 for Wales, 2 for the British & Irish Lions). <mask> is also Wales' record try scorer in Six Nations Championships with 22 and Wales' record try scorer in Rugby World Cups with 10. In addition, he has scored six tries for the Lions in tour games, five of which were in one game.He suffered a series of hamstring injuries in 2002 and did not often figure in Steve Hansen's squad. He considered quitting rugby entirely at this time. He was taken to the 2003 Rugby World Cup in Australia as a third choice scrum half. He was selected in the final group game against New Zealand as Wales made numerous changes to their starting fifteen. It was in this game and the following against England that he really showed his world class potential and ensured that he would be a first choice winger for Wales from this point onwards. He was part of the Grand Slam-winning Wales side in the 2005 Six Nations Championship, where he scored tries against Italy, Scotland, and most famously England, the try that helped them achieve a famous 11–9 victory that got their campaign underway. He was then selected to the British & Irish Lions for their 2005 New Zealand tour.On 28 June, he equalled a single-game Lions record by scoring five tries in a tour match against Manawatu. In the summer of 2007, <mask> underwent elbow and shoulder surgery and missed the tour of Australia. However, he did return in time to play the last Rugby World Cup warm up game against France. During the 2007 Rugby World Cup, <mask> earned his 50th cap against Japan. He scored two tries in that match, temporarily putting him on top of the 2007 Rugby World Cup try-scoring table with a total of five tries. The tries also put him above Ieuan Evans on the all-time Wales try scoring list, trailing only Gareth Thomas at that time. His try against France in their 2008 Six Nations Championship decider on 15 March 2008 placed him joint eighth on the all-time test try scoring list with Thomas, and surpassed Thomas on the all-time Wales try scoring list.He participated in a second Grand Slam win with Wales in the 2008 Six Nations Championship, when he scored tries against Scotland (twice), Italy (twice), Ireland, and France, breaking the record on the all-time Wales try scoring list in the championship's final match against France, when he scored his 41st try for Wales. This try resulted in his father <mask> winning £25,000 from a £50 bet placed almost 10 years previously that he'd one day become Wales' leading try scorer. His performances in the Six Nations led to him being named the player of the tournament. On 23 November 2008, <mask> became the first Welshman to be named IRB Player of the Year, beating fellow Welshman Ryan Jones, New Zealand's Dan Carter, Scotland captain Mike Blair, and Italy captain Sergio Parisse. On 7 December 2008, he won the BBC Cymru Wales Sports Personality of the Year, seeing off the competition of Tom James, David Roberts, Geraint Thomas and runners up Joe Calzaghe and Nicole Cooke. In his first 2009 Six Nations game against Scotland he scored his 45th test try to take him above Jeff Wilson on the all-time leading try scorers list to sixth. During the game he received an ankle injury and was taken off the pitch.Following the injury he missed the next game against England, but would start for Wales' third game against France. In the fourth game of the championship, <mask> scored Wales' opening try against Italy to take himself to equal fifth on the all-time leading try scorers list. On 21 April 2009, <mask> was named as a member of the British & Irish Lions for the 2009 tour to South Africa. <mask> missed out on a starting place in the first two Tests but was selected to play in the final Test where he produced a man-of-the-match winning performance and scored two tries that contributed to the 28–9 victory over the Springboks. On 21 November 2009, <mask> scored two tries in Wales' comfortable 33–16 win over Argentina in the Millennium Stadium, taking his international try tally to 50. On 13 February 2010, <mask> scored the winning try against Scotland in Cardiff, completing a remarkable Welsh comeback.

On 26 February 2010, <mask> again scored in the final minute in the 26–20 loss to France. This score handed him sole position of tries scored by a Welshman in the tournament with 19 tries for his country. He would subsequently increase his Six Nations tally to 22 tries.

He also served as Minister of Foreign Affairs between 2010 and 2015 during the presidency of José Mujica. Background and earlier life
<mask> was born June 1, 1963, in Cerro Chato/Paysandu, Uruguay. <mask> studied at the University of the Republic in Montevideo, where he earned his law degree. During his 23-year career with the Uruguayan Foreign Ministry, <mask> represented Uruguay in the Islamic Republic of Iran (1991–1996), in Germany (1998–2003), as well as serving as Ambassador to China (2007–2010). He is fluent in Spanish, English, and French. In the 2014 general election, <mask> was elected to the Senate of Uruguay.He later resigned to take the position of OAS Secretary General. <mask> has seven children. Foreign Minister of Uruguay
During <mask>'s time as Foreign Minister (2010–2015), Uruguay drew global recognition for a small South American country as they were the largest per capita contributor to UN peacekeeping forces  as well as secured Uruguay's successful election seat to the UN Security Council. <mask> also supported efforts on the restoration of relations between Cuba and the US. <mask>'s commitment to human rights extended to domestic affairs as demonstrated by the active role in the repeal of the 1986 Expiry Law, which granted amnesty for crimes and human rights abuses committed during the civic-military dictatorship between 1973 and 1985, and actively supported prosecutions for these crimes. A lawyer, <mask> was a member of the Executive Committee that drafted the groundbreaking legislation regulating the possession, growth, and distribution of marijuana in Uruguay in 2013. Uruguay is the first country in the world to introduce legislation of its kind.He also represented Uruguay at the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID), in the suit brought by Philip Morris International against Uruguay for its anti-tobacco policies. After six years, ICSID ruled in favor of Uruguay. Also responsible for trade, <mask> also played a key role in expanding and diversifying Uruguay market access, raising exports each year of his term. A key focus was opening up non-traditional markets to Uruguayan exporters, including as securing access to key US markets for Uruguay's citrus fruit. A strong advocate for refugees, <mask> played an integral role in negotiating the transfer of a group of ex-detenidos (former detainees) from Guantanamo Bay detention camp to Uruguay. <mask> also led the process to welcome dozens of Syrian refugees to Uruguay, along with former President Mujica. For this they were listed among Foreign Policy magazine's top Global Thinkers for 2014.<mask> is one of only 10 decision-makers in the region to be awarded this international distinction. In 2018, <mask> was listed 4th in the ranking of top 100 leaders from multilateral organizations. Secretary General of the OAS

Election

<mask> was elected Secretary General of the Organization of American States on March 18, 2015, earning the support of 33 of the 34 Members States, including one abstention. He officially took office on May 26, 2015. <mask>'s first year in office was marked by his outspoken stance on democracy and human rights. His leadership has widely been seen as reinvigorating an Organization. [7]

His election campaign centered on the idea of "More Rights for More People".In addition to four programmatic pillars of democracy, human rights, security and development, he announced a set of new strategic initiatives to achieve this goal including

 The OAS School of Governance to train civil servants and civil society with the tools for transparent and accountable government
 The Inter-American Education System to ensure quality, inclusive, and equitable education
 The Regional System for the Prevention of Social Conflicts to facilitate dialogue between investors, states and communities in key productive sectors. Under the renewed vision, <mask> continues to champion key OAS initiatives including the Inter-American Human Rights System, the Inter-American Judicial Facilitators Program, the MACCIH, and the Mission to Support the Peace Process in Colombia (MAPP), along with electoral cooperation and observation missions as priorities for the organization. Haiti

Following the suspension of the second round of presidential elections on January 24, 2016, President Michel Martelly requested assistance from OAS Secretary General <mask> to facilitate a discussion on finding a way forward. On January 29, an OAS Special Mission travelled to Haiti to assess the situation and help reach an understanding "agreed by Haitians." The Mission engaged in dialogue with key political and civil society stakeholders facilitating a consensus formula for next steps. On February 6, 2016, former President Martelly announced a transitional agreement electing an interim President and confirming a consensus Prime Minister. After the completion of the Mission, the Representative of Haiti to the OAS, Jean Josué Pierre, applauded the OAS, stating that "the Mission not only supported and accompanied the negotiations, but has reestablished the image of the Organization."<mask> has been critical of the slow progress to resolve the political impasse; "It is imperative for Haitian political stakeholders, including Parliamentarians and those provisionally governing the country, to fully assume their responsibilities towards the nation. The interests of the Haitian people must supersede partisan interests." MACCIH

Anticorruption has been a focus from the outset of Secretary <mask>'s term. In the spring of 2015, widespread protests erupted when a multi-million corruption scandal involving the Honduran social security system was uncovered by the local media. In August 2015, Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández invited Secretary General <mask> to Honduras to facilitate a dialogue and response to the protests. <mask> met with government representatives, political parties and civil society on how to end impunity and repair trust between the country's government and its citizens. On January 19, 2016, Secretary General <mask> and the Government of Honduras signed an agreement creating the OAS Mission to Support the Fight against Corruption and Impunity in Honduras (MACCIH).The MACCIH created an international anti-corruption team of investigators and judges to work with Honduran judges, prosecutors and police officers to better investigate and prosecute complex public corruption cases. While the Mission's focus is to investigate cases involving networks of public and private corruption, it will also support reform in four key areas: preventing and fighting corruption, criminal justice reform, political and electoral reform and public security. The first members of the MACCIH arrived in Honduras in April 2016. However in January 2020, the Honduran government dissolved MACCIH after OAS negotiators were unable to secure an agreement with it to renew the body’s mandate. Venezuela

In the lead up to the December 2015 parliamentary elections in Venezuela, Secretary General <mask> sent an 18-page open letter to the president of that country's National Electoral Council (CNE) in which he publicly denounced “the Government's violations of human rights and efforts to undermine the December 2015 elections through the monopolization of the media, interference in the election process, oppression of free assembly and the detention of political prisoners″. The letter represented the first open criticism of the Venezuelan government by a senior diplomat from the region. The former president of Uruguay, José Mujica, declares about him : “I regret the direction that you chose to follow and I know it is irreversible, so now, I tell you goodbye”.As the situation in Venezuela deteriorated dramatically after the December elections, in June 2016, Secretary General <mask> released a 114-page report  detailing the deteriorating economic situation and humanitarian crisis. Under article 20, the Secretary General invoked the Inter-American Democratic Charter on the grounds that Venezuela has experienced "an alteration of the constitutional order". Key recommendations from the report include the immediate release of all political prisoners; implementation of the constitutionally mandated recall referendum before the end of 2016; a return to the balance of powers between the Judicial, Executive, and Legislative branches of government; a bi-partisan review of judicial appointments; and, the establishment of an independent body to combat corruption. The Secretary General continues to lead the international community in advocating publicly on behalf of political prisoners and for a return to the constitutional order in Venezuela. On September 23, <mask> expressed dismay at the rules and timetable published by the CNE that further delayed the recall process into 2016, guaranteeing that the ruling party remains in power until the end of the term in 2019. "The recall referendum belongs to the people, and it is up to the CNE to ensure the guarantees for the free expression of the people, instead of curtailing and trying to annul their rights." As the situation in Venezuela worsened, on March 14, 2017, the Secretary General presented an Updated Report on the Situation in Venezuela outlining the further deterioration of the conditions in the country, stating that there had been a complete rupture of the democratic order.In the wake of the violent protests during the summer of 2017, the Secretary General published a Third Report on the Situation in Venezuela. In this Report, the Secretary General stated that there was “evidence that pointed to the systematic, tactical and strategic use of murder, imprisonment, torture, rape and other forms of sexual violence” are part of a targeted campaign and systemic policy against those who opposed the government. The OAS General Secretariat was tasked with monitoring further developments in Venezuela and to “specifically look at the individuals and institutions that directly or indirectly enable the use of these repressive tactics and tools” to determine whether crimes against humanity have taken place. A Fourth Report was published detailing the complete elimination of democracy following the establishment of the unconstitutional “National Constituents Assembly” in September 2017. In July 2017, Secretary General <mask> appointed former International Criminal Court (ICC) Prosecutor, <mask> Ocampo as a Special Advisor on Crimes Against Humanity. In this position, Ocampo helped to define and launch an independent and impartial process to assess whether crimes against humanity have taken place in Venezuela. In September 2017, a Panel of Independent International Experts was established to oversee the process including a series of public hearings that were held at OAS Headquarters in Washington, DC in September, October, and November of that year.In May 2018, the Panel of Independent Experts released their report indicating that there are reasonable grounds that satisfy the burden of proof required by Article 52 of the Rome Statue, to believe that crimes against humanity had taken place in Venezuela. Shortly after, Secretary General <mask> formally submitted the Report to the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, Fatou Bensouda, requesting that the Prosecutor open a full investigation into the situation on an urgent basis. During subsequent months, the Secretary General worked diligently to identify a coalition of countries to take the historic step of invoking Article 14 of the Rome Statute and refer the situation in Venezuela to the ICC. On September 26, 2018, Argentina, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Paraguay and Peru

 formally submitted the Article 14 referral to the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court. The Secretary General has called upon the international community to consider using all mechanisms available in international law to protect the rights of Venezuelans. This includes, but is not limited to, Responsibility to Protect and International Humanitarian Law. On October 12, 2017, the newly-elected Supreme Tribunal of Justice, were sworn in the OAS Headquarters.The 33 magistrates, elected by the National Assembly in July 2017, were forced to take office in exile due to political persecution, intimidation and threats of being detained by the Maduro dictatorship. As the number of Venezuelans fleeing their country reached precedent-setting numbers, in September 2018, Secretary General <mask> established the Working Group on Crisis of Venezuelan Migrants and Refugees of the OAS, chaired by David Smolansky, to provide “solutions to the exodus of the Venezuelan people – the most visible face of the humanitarian crisis in Venezuela – who can today be found walking through the cities and towns of the Americas looking for the bread they cannot get in their own homeland." Inter-religious dialogue

The initiative "Protecting our Home Common Home: Ensuring more rights for more people in the Americas" is organized through the cooperation of the OAS, the Vatican and the Inter-religious Institute for Dialogue. The inaugural meeting on September 7–8, 2016, established a Hemispheric Network of Dialogue for the Common Home which creates platform for dialogue between countries of OAS Member States and religious leaders to support reconciliation and the search for solutions to promote peace and stability, in line with Article 2 of the OAS Charter. Nicaragua
In his role as Secretary General, <mask> has been one of the strongest voices defending the principles of democracy and rule of law in the context of the political and human rights crisis in Nicaragua, which has worsened exponentially since April 2018. Led by <mask>, the General Secretariat of the OAS activated different diplomatic and denouncing mechanisms to expose the serious situation that the Central American country faces. A project of electoral reforms was agreed between the General Secretariat of the OAS and the government early in 2017 with the objective of strengthening democratic institutions.While the agreement is currently on hold given the ongoing crisis, Secretary <mask> remains a staunch supporter of mechanisms that would allow for redemocratization, and to achieve justice for the hundreds of Nicaraguan victims. In this context, his good offices made possible the first visit on-site visit of the Inter American Human Rights Commission (CIDH, by its initials in Spanish) in many years, and he approved the creation of the Interdisciplinary Group of Independent Experts (GIEI, by its initials in Spanish) to seek truth and help investigate the crimes committed. Facing an attitude of denial from the government, in December 2018 he announced the activation of article 20 of the Inter American Democratic Charter for Nicaragua. Cuba
On December 7, 2018, under the leadership of Secretary General <mask>, the OAS hosted the first Conference on the Situation of Human Rights in Cuba since the 2009 Resolution lifting Cuba's suspension from the Organization. The conference included dialogue on the criminality of freedom of Expression in Cuba, as well as the situation of political prisoners and accountability for repressors in the country. Bolivia

Almagro and the OAS were also involved in the political crisis in Bolivia following the aftermath of the 2019 Bolivian general election. Disputes over the transparency and legitimacy of the election had occurred after incumbent President Evo Morales was declared the winner with 47.08% of the vote after a 24-hour pause in results transmission; as this was greater than then ten-point margin over his nearest competitor, Carlos Mesa, needed for Morales to be announced as a winner without a run-off second-round vote.Following weeks of widespread protests in Bolivia, as well as calls for a second-round election from several foreign countries, the OAS released the results of its audit on 10 November 2019, claiming to have found "clear manipulation" and significant irregularities. Morales, who had pledged to respect the OAS audit, agreed on the same day to hold new elections, at a date to be determined. However, later on the same day, Morales and his vice president, Álvaro García Linera, resigned from office after losing support from the police and military, which was termed by Morales and his supporters to be a coup d'etat. International politicians, scholars and journalists are divided between describing the event as a coup or popular uprising. The OAS released a full report of its findings afterwards. However, reports from the Center for Economic and Policy Research and academics John Curiel and Jack Williams, also commissioned by the CEPR, contradicted the OAS conclusions, finding no statistical evidence for the OAS claim of election fraud, and no significant differences between the vote before and after counting was paused. Another study, conducted by independent statisticians from the University of Pennsylvania among other institutions and published in the New York Times, which initially backed Morales' forced resignation, also found the initial OAS analysis unsubstantiated.<mask> has since defended his actions and appeared supportive of the interim government that has assumed power.

<mask> (July 2, 1906 – July 14, 1944) was an Italian Jewish resistance fighter during World War II. Born in Pisa to an old Sephardi family, he was posthumously awarded the Gold Medal for Military Valour, Italy's highest honor for heroism. <mask> was an Italian partisan, second in command of the Pio Borri partisan division that fought the Germans in the Casentino mountains in Tuscany. As a Jewish victim of fascist Italy during the Second World War, <mask> had lost his workshop, his home, and his family. Finally, at the age of 38, he was captured, tortured and murdered by the Germans. German occupation

After the German invasion in 1943, the anti-Semitic persecutions increased. The Fascists and the Germans began arresting the Jews and sending them to concentration camps.When <mask> had learned about the capture of his family and the fact that they had been kept in Florence's Le Murate prison, he tried to organize their escape. His efforts were in vain. In May 1944 they were all deported to a concentration camp in Fossoli, and on the 16th of that month were sent on a transport to Auschwitz. His wife Carolina Lombroso gave birth to their fourth son while on the train. His family was killed by the Germans immediately upon arriving at Auschwitz. Two months later, <mask> and his fellow partisans captured a group of some thirty German soldiers. Acting on his moral authority as commander and as a human being, <mask> opposed his fellow partisans who asked for a summary trial and execution of the prisoners.Instead, he insisted on treating the German soldiers as prisoners of war. He volunteered to take the prisoners across German lines, and extradite them to the hands of the allied forces. The Germans soldiers were notorious for their revenge and reprisal massacres of the civilian population. It was quite obvious to the partisans that if captured with German prisoners, they would be tortured and killed along with some innocent villagers. On July 2, 1944, the prisoners were transferred by <mask> and other partisans - among them, Angelo Recapito and Luigi Valentini – to the Allied Headquarters in Cortona across the frontline. General Mark Clark, commander of the US Fifth Army, asked for two volunteers who would take messages back to the partisans in order to coordinate their activities towards the liberation of the city of Arezzo which was planned for July 14. <mask> and Angelo Recapito volunteered to go back and deliver the message.They succeeded in their mission and rejoined their friends, but were captured on July 14  along with a group of civilians and other partisans at Molin dei Falchi, where they had intended to spend the night with some more German prisoners. One of the German prisoners had managed to escape and informed the German Army and some Italian fascist collaborators of the camp's existence. The Germans attacked and there was a fierce battle in which many partisans died. The survivors were transferred to the village of San Polo di Arezzo where all the men of the village were collected as well for the reprisal action. The captured partisans were brutally tortured and murdered. San Polo massacre
After September 8, 1943, the German invasion army was ordered by the highest authorities not to obey the Geneva Convention nor normal rules of war, and to show no mercy towards the civilian population. The high German command promised to give complete protection against all accusations of brutality.A specific order was issued to torture and kill everyone found with weapons and to terrorize the unarmed civilian population. For every German killed, ten Italian civilians were to be killed. As per these commands, all the men of San Polo were gathered and brought to Villa Mancini where the German officers were quartered. There, the partisans were brutally beaten with rubber hoses and tortured. <mask> <mask> and Angelo Recapito, who both had information pertaining to the Allied forces' military plans, maintained their silence. At the end of the day, the partisans, wounded and barely alive, along with the captured men of the village — forty-eight in all — were taken to a nearby field on the backyard of Villa Gigliosi that the German soldiers had requisitioned. The civilians were made to dig three pit graves and were then thrown in still alive.The partisans were placed in the pits with their heads above ground and with explosive charges attached to their bodies. They were then blown apart. The Germans did not allow anyone to bury the dead. Gold medal for military valour
<mask> had spared the lives of some thirty captured German soldiers and insisted on acting in a humane way, even though his own family (his wife Carolina Lombroso, daughter Elena and sons Renzo and Albertino) had been captured and sent to Auschwitz only a couple of months earlier. For his military activities against the Germans as a member of the Italian resistance movement, for his contribution as second in command of the Pio Borri partisan division that patrolled the Casentino mountains in Tuscany, for his bravery, and for his humanity, <mask> <mask> was awarded in 1947 the highest honor for military heroism in Italy, the "Gold Medal for Military Valour". <mask> had paid with his life for his heroism. He was tortured and finally murdered by German soldiers.Remembering <mask> <mask>
The San Polo massacre is commemorated every year, as is the liberation of Arezzo on July 16, 1944. The local religious, civilian and military authorities participate in the ceremony. There are streets in Arezzo and Florence bearing the names of <mask> <mask> and Angelo Recapito and in the town of Quarata, near Arezzo, there is a school named after him. The county of Reggello named the Cascia square in memory of Carolina Lombroso Calò, In May 2016 a plaque commemorating her memory and her deportation and murder in Auschwitz with her children, was set in the square. San Polo trials

Former NSDAP member Herbert Handsk, who took part in the San Polo massacre, was released from prison in 2007 by the Italian justice. Aged 87, he was the only survivor of the perpetrators of the massacre. Klaus Konrad had died on August 15, 2006.He had also been indicted by the magistrates in the same trial. Konrad, who became after the war a deputy of the Bundestag from 1969 to 1980 as a member of Willy Brandt's SPD, had already been indicted by the Italian justice in 1967 and 1972, but the complaints had been classified

title: Pablo Manlapit

texts:
<mask> (January 17, 1891 – April 15, 1969) was a migrant laborer, lawyer, labor organizer, and activist in Hawaii, California, and the Philippines. <mask> was born on January 17, 1891 in the Philippines. He came to Hawaii in 1910 as a migrant worker and was under contract to work as a sugarcane plantation laborer at Hamakua Mill Company in the sugarcane fields of the Hāmākua district of the island of Hawaii. Manlapit got promoted quickly from fieldwork to foreman (luna), then timekeeper. In June, 1912, he married Annie Kasby, a German-American born in Hawaii and they started to raise a family. They had four children, three girls and one boy between 1913 and 1921. Sometime in 1914 they left the plantation and moved to Hilo, then eventually they moved to Honolulu on Oahu before the year ended.After leaving the plantation Manlapit worked many different jobs, published a local Filipino newspaper, Ang Sandata, and studied law. In 1919 Manlapit passed the test for attorneys and was granted a license to practice law. Manlapit's first marriage did not survive his turmoils of being a leader in organizing the plantation workers, his expulsion to California, and his deportation to the Philippines in 1934. Manlapit and Annie became officially divorced in December 1939. Manlapit married Ponciana Calderon in the Philippines and they had a son. Manlapit became active in organizing in the Philippines. After WWII and defeating the Japanese who occupied the Philippines, Manlapit was part of the political circle.In 1949 he returned to Hawaii to visit his children, but due to the government's non-stop harassment his stay was short. He returned to the Philippines. Manlapit worked hard on getting his pardon from governors of Hawaii and eventually received one in 1952 from Governor Long. <mask> died of cancer on April 15, 1969. Status of Filipino migrants
The Filipinos were the last large group of recruited sugarcane plantation workers to migrate to Hawaii. From 1907 to 1931, approximately 120,000 Filipino men came to Hawaii. When they came to Hawaii's plantations, they found that they had to buy everything at the plantation store, and often at highly inflated prices due to shipping and other costs.After living in Hawaii for a while, many began to resent the strict hand of the luna (foreman), and social discrimination that they experienced. They were also not used to the commercial business system. Many believed the practice of fixed prices in the plantation stores to be a violation of their personal freedom because they were accustomed to bargaining in the Philippines. The oldest, poorest housing was given to the Filipinos because they were the lowest skilled and held the least prestigious jobs. They were also the most recent arrivals to Hawaii. Immigration laws did not permit them to bring families, so the men lived in barracks. Organizing

Manlapit became one of the few Filipino lawyers in the 1920s and distinguished himself as spokesman for the Filipino labor movement in Hawaii, spending most of his time organizing and fighting for the rights of plantation laborers.He helped organize the Filipino Labor Union in Hawaii and was a leading figure in the strikes in 1920 and 1924 that involved thousands of plantation workers. In October, 1919, the Japanese Federation of Labor and the Filipino Labor Union joined together to argue against the Hawaiian Sugar Planters' Association for a better working environment. They wanted to increase their salary from $0.72 to $1.25 and have 8 hour workdays. They wanted breaks for certain working conditions. On Oahu on January 19, 1920, 3,000 members of the Filipino Labor Union walked off their jobs. <mask> led the strike and he believed that the Japanese and Filipinos workers should be united. The Japanese workers soon joined them.By early February 1920, 8300 plantation laborers were on strike, representing 77% of the work force. Filipino workers went on strike because they weren't paid equally for doing the same work as the Japanese workers. The Filipinos were paid $0.69 and the Japanese were paid $0.99. While they were on strike, plantation workers on other islands continued to work to raise about $600,000 in support of the strike. The 1920 Oahu strike lasted for two months and the strikers had to contend with a variety of methods utilized by the plantation owners: eviction of strikers from their homes, hiring of strikebreakers, and prosecution of leaders for conspiracies. <mask> was not prosecuted but he was subjected to a smear campaign. He was accused of extorting money in exchange for calling off the strike.The plantation owners, assisted by the government, countered this with a "divide-and-counter" tactic. They charged the Japanese workers with attempting to make Hawaii an Asian province. Later in the year the Japanese changed the name of their union to the Hawaiian Federation of Labor, in an effort to counter racist accusations. They invited all workers of every race to join. Hanapēpē Massacre

So strong was his influence among his countrymen that <mask> was implicated in the violent September, 1924 strike on Kauai—later known as the Hanapēpē Massacre—even though he wasn't there. Sixteen strikers were killed during the confrontation with police, as well as four policemen. This drew the ire of plantation owners and they persecuted him with various small charges.<mask> was arrested with 60 other Filipinos, tried for conspiracy, and sentenced to 2 to 10 years at Oahu Prison. In order to prevent his involvement in future activities in Hawaii, <mask> was deported to the U.S. mainland while bearing a conditional parole judgment. Upon his parole, he went to California. Expulsion
In California, <mask> also went into labor organizing until he traveled back to Hawaii in 1933. Again, he dove into the fray of labor organizing and this eventually led to his permanent expulsion from Hawaii and deportation to the Philippines in 1935. His family was broken because of this move. This ended his colorful but tragic career in the Hawaii labor movement.Manlapit worked for the Philippine government in the pre-World War II and postwar years. He supported Manuel Roxas in his presidency bid after World War II and served in some mid-level government positions before getting involved once more in labor matters which he mortgaged his family home to support Filipino workers on strike, and then becoming homeless and poor.
