Hello, I'm Plarem. I noticed that you recently removed some content from María Perceval without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry: I restored the removed content. If you would like to experiment, you can use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! – Plarem ^{(User talk)} 15:22, 1 August 2013 (UTC)

Maria Perceval

Here is what you put up on María Perceval what I reverted, sorry about that. Please feel free to put it back up on the page. You do not need to ask any editor if you can put anything up, just so it adheres to Wikipedia policies. Anyway, here's what you put up:

Maria Cristina “Marita” Perceval has been the Permanent Representative of the Republic of Argentina to the United Nations since September 2012. Perceval´s appointment as Ambassador to the United Nations was approved unanimously by the Congress of the Republic, timely with her country´s accession as non-permanent member of the UN Security Council.

Perceval presented her credentials before the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon on November 23, 2012.

Amb. Perceval’s mandate as the Head of the Mission of Argentina is focused mainly on multilateralism, peaceful settlement of international disputes, in line with diplomatic tradition of our country.

As stated by President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, Argentina works at this stage to consolidate lasting peace, with solid foundations on truth, justice, and equality. In the Security Council, this mandate translates into a clear agenda: the support of democracy as an element of stability; the promotion and protection of human rights worldwide; the collection and coordination of concerns by countries of the Latin American and Caribbean Group; the promotion of multilateralism; support the improvement of peacekeeping operations; improvement of the UN sanctions´ system in order to make it more effectiveness; and increase the participation of women at all levels of the decision-making process in conflict prevention, conflict management,settlements and resolution, and peace processes.

Before her current appointment, Ms. Perceval served as Under-Secretary for Human Rights at the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights in Buenos Aires from 2010. Her tenure focused mainly on the promotion and the advancement of human rights for vulnerable communities,such as afro-descendents, LGBT and migrants, but also in the mainstreaming of human rights of the women and the struggle against human trafficking within the national agenda.

Perceval worked vis-à-vis a wide range of experts from different fields, and from different angles, including international organizations, trade unions, grassroots associations, faith-based organizations and academics.

In 2009, she served as Under-Secretary for Institutional Reform and Strengthening of Democracy in the Argentine Presidency.

Between 2001 and 2009, Ms. Perceval was elected as a Member of the Parliament as Senator- the upper house of the Argentine National Congress- for the Province of Mendoza for the “Frente para la Victoria” (Justicialista Party).

During this time she presided over several committees,including the Committee on National Defence. She was the first woman to head such Committee, from where she pushed for the new system of Military Justice-currently in use-, annulment of “secretive” laws and the implementation of regional measures in the framework of defence.

Perceval focused on the strengthening of democracy and democratic institutions; promotion and defense of civil,political, social, cultural, and economic human rights. She authored key Acts for human security, as the “Regulación de la Tenencia de Armas”- regulations on gun possession- (2002) and “Plan de Desarme”- action plan on disarmament for light guns and weapons- (2006). Perceval authored groundbreaking Acts to put an end to violence against women and on gender violence, among them “Prevention and punishment of Human Trafficking” (2008) and “Prevention and punishment of violence against women” (2009).

Ms. Perceval headed the Instituto de la Mujer in the Province of Mendoza between 1993 and 1995.

Born in the province of Mendoza, Perceval holds a degree in Philosophy, with a special focus on Gender Studies, Epistemology and Human Rights from the Universidad Nacional de Cuyo (1980).

Perceval was a Professor of Advanced Epistemology at the Universidad Nacional de Cuyo between 1998 and 2001.

She previously served as Assistant Professor of the history of sciences, philosophy and metaphysics at the same institution between 1990 and 2001.From 1988 to 1992, she was Project Director of Research on Epistemology, Gender Studies and Human Rights. She founded and was Director of the Institute of Social Management at the University of Aconcagua.
