Extractions: The pope's longevity is indeed intimately tied to his legacy for many have never known another pontiff. Even many who abhor his extreme conservatism inevitably saw him as a great patriarch, a Reaganesque type figure who would ultimately "bring home the bacon." He will certainly be remembered as a man who took bold stands on an array of social justice and human rights issues. His role in bringing down the communist system across Europe will undoubtedly endure for a long time to come. In his later years, he spoke out heartily against the pitfalls of capitalism. And

Extractions: INDIGENOUS NATIONAL CONGRESS INDIGENOUS MANIFESTO FIRST OF MAY, 2001 WHEREAS, that 509 years of history have meant exploitation, discrimination and poverty for our first peoples; and that the Mexican Nation, born of our seed and of our hearts, has been built by the powerful, denying our existence and denying our supreme right to walk our own path, without eliminating the country founded with our blood. RECOGNIZING, that the San Andrés Accords, as well as their legislative and constitutional interpretations that are expressed in the Constitutional Reform Initiative elaborated by the Concord and Peace Commission (COCOPA), reflect the majority consensus of the indigenous peoples of Mexico, of the government, and of national society on the issue of indigenous rights and culture. CONSIDERING, that the constitutional recognition of indigenous rights and culture, according to the COCOPA initiative, as part of the three signals demanded by the EZLN, is the firm step toward the construction of a just and dignified peace in Chiapas. CONSIDERING, that the march of the 1,111 Zapatistas to Mexico City in September 1997, and the results of the National Consultation on Indigenous Rights and Culture realized in March 1999, ratified the national consensus represented by the San Andrés Accords and the Constitutional Reform Initiative elaborated by the COCOPA.

Ten years ago, on the 500th anniversary of the arrival of the first Europeans in the American continent, the descendants of the continent's indigenous peoples vocally reclaimed their rights and identity. Today, they remain among the most marginalised and poorest communities, discriminated against and often exposed to grave abuses of their fundamental rights, Amnesty International said. The statement came on the eve of the day - known as Columbus Day, Día de la Raza or Native American Day - in which several countries in the Americas celebrate the continent's multicultural heritage. "More than half the countries on the continent recognise the multicultural character of the state and guarantee indigenous rights in their constitutions and legislation. However, this is in stark contrast with the reality faced by the vast majority of indigenous people from Canada, through Central America, down to the very tip of Chile and Argentina, who are often treated as second-class citizens," Amnesty International said.

Extractions: In 1994 an army of destitute Indians, the Ejercito Zapatista de Liberacion Nacional (EZLN), sprang up in the Mexican region of Chiapas, challenging the country with complex questions about its history and social fabric. But the Zapatista insurrection had its roots in events almost three decades before. On 23 September 1965 a group of young radicals attempted to ambush the garrison of Ciudad Madera, near the Chihuahua hills in Sonora. This sparked an armed struggle which has lasted for 30 years, reaching a peak during 1971-77. Throughout the 1980s, movements active in Chiapas helped to found what eventually became the EZLN. Today's armed struggle has its origins in popular organisations defending agrarian reforms and worker's rights and resisting the extreme discrimination suffered by indigenous communities. Behind the movement are thousands of children and older people who provide information, food, safe passage, clothing, arms and medicines. The family networks have penetrated large regions and have defeated all the military's efforts to dismantle it. However the latest move by the army to enclose the Chiapas forest, threatens this source of support. The EZLN unlike other guerrilla movements, has had media attention from day one. This is partly due to globalisation, new international strategies of resistance and the spread of human rights organisations across the world.

Extractions: June 11 Mexico's 'Modern Right' By Justin Podur In March, while they were on the March of Indigenous Dignity, on their way to Mexico City to press for the passage of the law on indigenous rights and culture, the Zapatistas berated the 'hardliners' in the government who called them terrorists and threatened to imprison them. They weren't cowed: they were already in prison, they said, so why fear jail? They were already dead, so why fear death? But they weren't impressed, either: 'Why are they so afraid of an unarmed march?' they asked. 'Haven't they noticed, we no longer call ourselves 'comrade', but 'brother' and 'sister'? If they want a modern left, they should learn to be a modern right.' It was too much to ask, of course. They had to threaten to leave before they got the chance, but the Zapatistas had their say in front of the Congress in the end. They argued for the cocopa indigenous law, crafted over years of negotiations and completed in 1996. The law features autonomy and free determination, indigenous peoples as 'subjects of public right', the free use of natural resources, election of municipal authorities, the right to regional association and organization, and autonomy in matters of justice. Those who argued against the law said it would 'balkanize' Mexico. It would institutionalize the exclusion of indigenous people.

Extractions: 13 July 1999 I live in Southern California and Mexico City is only a few hours away by air. Yet I have never had any desire to visit that country. I like her people, but the country itself seemed so grey and poor, so desperate no rain, no housing, no hope. The winter of 1999 an American shaman-healer, Eliot Cowan (author of Plant Spirit Medicine ), trained by the Huichol Indians of Mexico, communed with the Huichol Fire God, Tatewari, who told him that I should go to Mexico for ceremonies of healing, protection, and rain-working. "No," I said, "I could die happy without ever going to Mexico." But Eliot insisted. Despite my skepticism, I went in early May 1999 to participate in a week of rain rituals up in the highlands south of Cuernavaca. There, Mexico, as a place, became real for me. I care about her soil and weather now, for I added my own prayers to those of the shamanic weather-workers who had come to join an old shaman in praying for rain. I have drunk Mexico's waters now, walked her cobblestones, eaten her volcanic-enriched maize and beans, and felt her burning sun....... Sunday, 4 June 2000:

Extractions: Commitments for Chiapas by the State and Federal Governments and the Ezln Under Paragraph 1.3 of the Rules of Procedure 16 February 1996 I Proposed Constitutional Amendments in the State of Chiapas The indigenous rights to be enshrined in the General Constitution of the Republic must also be stated explicitly in the Constitution of the State of Chiapas to the full extent of their political, economic, social, and cultural scope. The new relationship between the indigenous peoples and communities and the State requires the assurance and guarantee of new indigenous rights. In addition to the constitutional amendments already indicated within the framework of the current phase of the dialogue, this goal requires the enactment by the state legislature of amendments to the Chiapas state constitution and to the laws and regulations that derive therefrom. Amendments to several articles of the state constitution are therefore needed to recognize and guarantee the fundamental rights of indigenous peoples. Presented below are the central themes of the legislative proposals that, in accordance with the amendments to the Federal Constitution, must be introduced into the legislation of the state of Chiapas. Constitutional Framework for Autonomy Recognition is given to the indigenous peoples' right to self-determination and autonomy as collectives with different cultures and with the ability to decide on issues central to them within the framework of the National State.

Extractions: July 8, 2002. Who are the Indigenous Peoples? 1. Since colonial times, there has been a great debate over the definition of who is indigenous. When the Europeans came into contact with the native populations, they ascribed the category of "indios" to those groups and peoples who maintained their own identity and cultural specificity. This presumed a category of people who were different and inferior from a racial, cultural, linguistic, intellectual and religious viewpoint and served to justify and rationalize the colonial domination and the privileged position of the conquerors. This categorization constituted an annulment of the ethnic diversity and cultural specificity of the Indian population and by so doing cut off any possibilities for self-development or endogenous cultural evolution. 2. By virtue of this categorization as "indios" the indigenous peoples have continued to exist as colonial constructs linked to ethnic cultures that are considered inferior to the culture of the dominant order, and excluded from the nation's normal life. The construction of an inclusive and democratic society would result in a gradual dissolution of the categories formed during the colonial period, and to the recognition of cultural and ethnic diversity, with a concomitant elimination of the existing prejudices of racial superiority.

They bioaccumulate in the tissues of living organisms. They are toxic, causing adverse effects to human health and the natural environment. POPs persist for long periods of time before they decompose. Even at low levels of primary contamination, POPs concentrate over time in the human body. POPs include industrial chemicals like PCBs, pesticides like DDT and by-products of industrial manufacturing and waste disposal, such as dioxins. A growing body of scientific evidence indicates that POPs are among the most toxic substances ever created, causing cancer and birth defects. They have an adverse impact on humans abilities to have children by limiting the normal growth of the reproductive organs. Clinical health effects include a marked increase in diabetes, hormone-based disorders, behavioral and learning disabilities. POPs have been linked to central nervous system damage, as well as diseases and weakening of the immune system.

Three of them reportedly came into her home and forcefully interrogated her about some meat that was drying outside on the patio, which the soldiers said had been stolen. While she understood the question, Inés, a An investigation was initially opened in the local Public Ministry office ( Ministerio Público ("no existe interés jurídico por parte de la agraviada" ) as she had failed to turn up to ratify her complaint. A recommendation by the National Human Rights Commission (CNDH, Comisión Nacional de Derechos Humanos ) in November 2003 highlighted this and other serious errors and omissions in the investigations, including the failure of the forensic services attached to the Public Ministry of the state of Guerrero to conserve vital forensic evidence. Crucially, however, the recommendation neglected to call for the investigations to be transferred to civilian jurisdiction. Although the case was not formally closed, more than two and half years later, it languishes in a military justice system that continues to demonstrate that it lacks the impartiality to properly investigate and bring to justice members of the army accused of human rights violations.

Although most of Mexico is geographically considered part of North America and although there have been cultural contacts between Mexican groups and the Pueblo of the SW United States, the cultural development of most of Mexico belongs, in fact, to that of Middle America. In the southern portion of the valley of Mexico and in the jungle region of YucatAn, ancient Mexico reached its highest cultural achievements. The Maya had links with the Chorotega of Nicaragua and Honduras, and these in turn had contacts with the Chibcha of Colombia, thus establishing a Central American cultural chain between the civilizations of Mexico and those of the Andean region. Highly developed civilizations flourished in Mexico after the domestication of corn and the rise of agricultural communities; the
