The Latin Academy operates as a virtual meeting place for its membership and the organization is dedicated year-round to strengthening this cultural community via networking opportunities and educational outreach.

 HLAS 51 International Relations Latin America
In addition, as has traditionally been the case in the study of Latin American international relations, the choice of topics to be studied has followed the rise and fall of current issues: policy analyses were concerned especially and increasingly with narcotraffic, democratization and redemocratization, and human rights.
He addresses the numerous international situational and domestic bureaucratic and social problems and obstacles impinging on US policy action, and considers the available alternative options; his argument that US policy failures are rooted in the realist perspectives of the international politics on which they are based is particularly interesting (item bi 89002813).
Concern with Latin American democracy and human rights continues, but is analyzed in terms of the new political environment, i.e., concern has shifted from ending the abuses of military regimes to developing and protecting human rights in a positive and long-term way under more responsive democratic governments.

 Old Latin Version (International Standard Bible Encyclopedia)
It is generally agreed that, as Christianity spread, the Syriac and the Latin versions were the first to be produced; and translations of the Gospels, and of other books of the Old and New Testament in Greek, were in all probability to be found in these languages before the close of the 2nd century.
The Latin of the Greek-Latin manuscript D (Codex Bezae) is known as d, and the Latin of the translator of Irenaeus, are classed with this group.
These Old Latin translations going back in their earliest forms to nearly the middle of the 2nd century are very early witnesses to the Greek text from which they were made.
