Details from Intag Solidarity Network Intag Solidarity Network The Observer Program is part of the Intag Solidarity Network. It is a proactive approach for preventing violent conflict. Most human rights observer programs show up after the fact, sometimes when bad violence has already occurred. The Observer Program is designed to: (1) Provide permanent presence in communities. We see presence as the key for altering power relationships and preventing a violent outcome, (2) Document events as they happen by video tapping them and writing reports. We also document events by taking people’s testimonies, (3) Denounce potential and real violations to Ecuadorian and international human rights organizations, (4) Foster community empowerment by creating some space for them to operate and through popular education about human rights, (5) Assist the community with alternative development projects, such as ecotourism, and (6) Act in solidarity in ways appropriate to particular situations.
