The Cerimedo Case and the Digital Pandora's Box - UPI.com (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sept. 8 (UPI) -- Latin America is confronting a debate with implications far beyond the region: the Cerimedo case. The issues it raises are hardly new. For years, we have discussed and warned about them in conferences and classrooms. Yet much of the political world appears scandalized only now that the consequences have struck close to home. Some seek to minimize them while others exaggerate them, remaining faithful to political opportunism and the familiar binary culture of good versus evil. A
The digital Procrustean bed: Everyone in the same mold - UPI.com (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sept. 2 (UPI) -- We are living through the digital version of an ancient Greek myth: the bed of Procrustes. In the story, the bandit Procrustes tied his victims to an iron bed and forced each of them to fit its dimensions, stretching those who were too short and amputating those who were too tall.

Read excerpt
Aug. 10 (UPI) -- On June 24, two powerful earthquakes measuring magnitude 7.2 and 7.5 struck northern Venezuela.

Beyond the loss of life and the enormous economic damage, the disaster exposed a deeper problem. Its scale cannot be explained solely by geology. Human decisions also played a role. Earthquakes are natural phenomena, but their consequences are shaped by
Latin America's real crisis is ethical, not political - UPI.com (opens the original)
Read excerpt
July 20 (UPI) -- Transparency International's 2025 Corruption Perceptions Index, published in February 2026, found that the global average score had fallen to 42 out of 100, its lowest level in more than a decade. More than two-thirds of the 182 countries measured scored below 50. Latin America's persistent corruption scandals and weak systems of accountability are part of that broader decline. Transparency International was even more direct in its assessment of the Americas. The region, it said
