Columbus (1451-1506) and believe that
their conclusions, which are some six

for the final resting place of the man
credited with discovering the Americas

The head of the project, José Antonio

the eras of political violence in Chile,
El Salvador, Peru and Colombia. >more

Amnesty International and the Mexican League
for the Defence of Human Rights (LIMEDDH)
consulted by IPS. >more
