CICA Issue #3 COLOQUIO INTERNACIONAL SOBRE CEREBRO Y AGRESION SEVILLA April 14, 1986 To the Seville Working Group: Wahlstrom (Finland); Genoves, Tapia (Mexico); Ramirez. Delgado, Mayor, Hinojal, Ramallo (Spain); Goldstein, Scott, Adams, Ginsburg, Singer (USA); Leakey (Kenya) Barnett (Australia); Eliasz (Poland); Hinde (UK); Ghosh, Nandy (India); Angeles Philippines); Eibl-Eibesfeldt, Groebel (West Germany); Gogolitsin, Bechtereva, Lomov. Fedoseev (USSR). Dear Friends: As you see from the enclosed program, we are going to have an enjoyable and historically important Coloquio in Seville. Most of the working group has indicated that they will be present, and with one or two exceptions, for the entire time. Due to scheduling conflicts, Spanish UNESCO will be represented by Dr, Ramallo rather than Dr. Hinojal. Dr. Leakey's participation is still pending, and Dr. Singer (like Dr. Barnett) will be able to take part only by correspondence. The Soviet participants have indicated that they will be represented by Dr. Gogolitsin. And so far, we have not raised the money required to bring Dr. Angeles to Seville. Our group has been augmented since the last communication on February 10. Dr. Ashis Nandy has been designated by Soedjatmoko, the Rector of the United Nations University, as their representative We will also have the participation of Dr. Luis Lara Tapia from Mexico At a meeting last month, the US participants (Goldstein, Scott, Adams, Ginsburg) met to begin the process of drafting the Statement on Violence. Paul Scott drew up an outline of Topics and Issues reflecting the draft statements that you have sent in. I added to it, drawing from some of the published writings of other members of the Seville Working Group. The outline is enclosed with this mailing along with the draft statements and certain excerpts from published writings. We hope that you will read these and take them into consideration before coming to Seville where we will work hard in order to complete a Final Statement by May 15, Three of the UNESCO Statements on Race are also enclosed. These can be used as a model, both for style and for content, in our work. I hope that my marginal notes are useful and not distracting. If possible, please bring 25 copies of the paper that you plan to present at the Coloquio, so that it can be used by each of the Seville Working Group in our preparatory work for the Statement on Violence One more mailing will be sent to you, including some of the longer papers that have been submitted for our consideration. I look forward to meeting with those of you who can come early to take part in the preliminary drafting group on Sunday morning May 11 at the Hotel Murillo, and to meeting with the rest of you at the opening session of the Coloquio on May 12. Peace. David Adams, on behalf of the organizing committee (Scott, Genoves, Ginsburg, Goldstein, Delgado, and Ramirez).
