 a team member of Servicio Internacional para la Paz (SIPAZ), will share 
 information about the present situation in the southern states of Mexico 
 (Chiapas, Oaxaca, Guerrero) and the work SIPAZ is carrying out in these 
 areas as well as the concerns that SIPAZ has around the present situation. 
 \n\nTanja, who is from Lund, Sweden, is beginning her third year on the 
 SIPAZ team. Raised in a community of political exiles, her friends  were 
 children of families that had fled dictatorships in Chile, Argentina and 
 Nicaragua. Learning their stories and the history and struggles of Latin 
 American called forth in her a deep commitment to human rights and 
 justice.\n\nTanja holds a Masters in Law from the University of Lund with 
 an emphasis in Human Rights and Humanitarian Law.  She has worked with the 
 UN High Commissioner on Refugees in Stockholm, the International Tribunal 
 for the former Yugoslavia in the Hague and with Caritas in Valencia, 
 Spain.\n\nSIPAZ is a program of international observation that had its 
 beginning in 1995, following the Zapatista uprising in 1994. It was formed 
 to monitor the conflict in Chiapas, México. Today SIPAZ supports the 
 search for nonviolent solutions that contribute to the construction of a 
 just peace through building tolerance and dialogue among the actors in 
 Chiapas as well as, increasingly, in other areas in México (Oaxaca and 
 Guerrero). At the same time, SIPAZ serves as a bridge for communication  
 and the sharing of information and experiences among organizations and 
 networks that work toward the building of a just and lasting peace at a 
 local, national, regional and international level.\n
