Indigenous people of Mexico and Guatemala organize against mining companies and agree to initiate legal and political action against multinational mining activity San Marcos, Guatemala, June 25, 2005 Members of the Regional Council of Indigenous Peoples from six departments in Guatemala met with representatives of various mexican indigenous, campesino and labour groups, agreeing to initiate activities to organize and strengthen the struggle against the threat that open-pit mining poses to the health and life of millions of people in both countries. At the end of the conference "Mining and the Heritage of Indigenous People," in which participated Mayan representatives from Guatemalan departments of Huehuetenango, El Quiché, San Marcos, Quetzaltenango, Totonicapán and Sololá, it was agreed to develop a project of legal and political action which would go further than proposed reforms in mining laws, to push for constitutional reforms for the recognition of indigenous people's rights over territory, autonomy and the legitimacy of traditional law, among others.

UNITED NATIONS COMMISSION ON HUMAN RIGHTS Fifty-fifth session Agenda item 15 Rights of Indigenous Peoples: The Situation in Chiapas Oral Presentation by Randy Vasquez, Monday, April 19, 1999. International Educational Development/Humanitarian Law Project has been exceptionally concerned about the war in Chiapas, Mexico - a war against the Indigenous peoples of the Tojolabal, Tzotzil, Tzeltzal, Chole and Zoque communities. Since the end of the main military actions by the Ejercito Zapatista de Liberacion Nacional (the EZLN) and the Mexican Federal Army in 1994, a dirty war has been carried out against these Indigenous peoples. The EZLN has called for a political solution to the situation, yet the government has stormed the area with tens of thousands of soldiers and has occupied Indigenous schools and villages. Roads and highways are cut off. Many Indigenous peoples accused of being sympathizers of the EZLN are arrested, tortured and even killed. These Indigenous people are in a crisis situation, with harvests destroyed and hunger plaguing them. There are now 70,000 military forces in Chiapas - almost one third of the Mexican Army. In addition, the State Public Security Forces, the Judicial State and Federal Police and the Migration Police, combined with the military, have a total of more than 239 bases in Chiapas alone. The purpose of this overwhelming presence is to intimidate the Indigenous population in Chiapas, and to disperse them from their traditional areas. The trigger-happy army, and the paramilitary forces that function with the acquiescence of the military forces, have been responsible for some of the worst massacres of Indigenous peoples in this century: Acteal; Chavajebal; Union Progreso; San Juan de la Libertad will ring in our ears far into the next millenium. The more than 20,000 Indigenous peoples forced to leave their traditional homes for camps leave behind them unspeakable humanitarian and human rights law violations.

The Commission on Human Rights The UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues The Working Group on Indigenous Populations The Draft Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples ... International Decades on Indigenous Peoples Stavenhagen's visit to Mexico The Special Rapporteur visited Mexico from 1-18 June 2003 The indigenous population of Mexico, which currently accounts for approximately 12 per cent of the total population, predominates in many rural municipalities, particularly in the south-east, and can also be found in urban areas. The vulnerability of the human rights of the indigenous peoples has a number of aspects. Human rights violations are found in many agrarian and political conflicts in the indigenous regions, mainly in the context of the system for pursuing and administering justice. Discrimination against the indigenous people can be seen in low human and social development indices, extreme poverty, inadequate social services, how investments and production projects are implemented and the huge inequality between indigenous and non-indigenous people in the distribution of wealth and income. Where indigenous matters are concerned the constitutional reform of 2001 does not meet the aspirations and demands of the organized indigenous movement; this means that it provides less coverage as regards the protection of the human rights of the indigenous peoples and makes the renewal of the dialogue for peace in the State of Chiapas more difficult. The Special Rapporteur recommends in his report, among others, that the Government of Mexico should pay urgent attention to preventing and resolving social conflicts in indigenous regions, to revising the indigenous justice system in depth, to developing a consolidated economic and social policy for the indigenous regions with the active participation of the indigenous peoples, with special attention to migrants, displaced persons, women and children, and to reviewing the constitutional reform of 2001 so that peace can be achieved in Chiapas and the demands of the indigenous peoples for recognition and respect for their human rights met.

Economic Justice Economic Justice Debt Campaign Mexico/Central America Mexico/Central America Urgent Actions Resources Public Education Upstream Journal Links Home Page English The Social Justice Committee Email: sjc@web.ca May 29th 2003 Serious violations of the rights of human rights defenders in Oaxaca and in Chiapas BACKGROUND: According to the May 24th edition of the newspaper La Jornada, on May 23rd the Chiapas state government sent out a news release announcing that it was investigating the report of human rights organizations concerning the &#quot;alleged" attack on the two lawyers. It also stated, that if they were found to be called for, corrective disciplinary measures would be taken against Arturo Salgado and other persons involved in the alleged incident. There was no reported mention of Sr. Martínez Pérez or of the other detainees, although Governor Salazar reportedly said, during a meeting with business representatives, that his government had neither a harsh nor a gentle hand but rather a firm hand without tolerance for anarchy or chaos. "the government of Pablo Salazar has been hypocritical in its stance on human rights issues – on the one hand, there has been much discussion and paid publicity to convince people that the state government respects human rights, but, on the other hand, its actions contravene its own public position. Police operations such as the one carried out in Nuevo Tepeyac often occur under the guise of "application of the rule of law", leaving in their wake injured and illegally–arrested prisoners who are held incommunicado and without legal representation... It is a government that violates human rights, that has continued the practice of torture, that violates the right of arrested persons to due process, that is intolerant of criticism, and that has already provided ample evidence that human rights do not play a large part in its policies – except as human rights violations."

Encompasses present-day Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama See also Mexico and Central America The Revolution breaks out in Mexico in 1910, persisting through the 1920s. Elite reformers and village and community leaders demand land reform and the equitable redistribution of wealth. Cultural autonomy and justice for native groups are goals. Military governments and indigenous and popular groups clash violently in Guatemala, Nicaragua, and El Salvador through the 1980s. A new constitution is promulgated in Mexico and the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) founded. Widespread devastation and loss of subsistence possibilities lead to the displacement of large numbers of Indians to the north. Many Indian peoples continue to fight for their rights and for the preservation of their cultural identities at home and abroad in an increasingly globalized world. Indigenismo by the clergy , the upper classes, the military, and foreign exploiters are emphasized. Novels of protest describe the plight of the Indians. Many indigenous groups, particularly in Mexico, develop a wide range of crafts, such as colorful ceramics and textiles, grounded in their Precolumbian past. Archaeologists turn their attention to the ancient ruins; excavations are undertaken and buildings restored. The Mexican government initiates archaeological excavations at the site of Teotihuacan Pyramid of the Sun is excavated and restored.

INDIGENOUS PEOPLES Mexico is formed by a diversity of peoples and cultures that has always differentiated from the rest of the national society. Actually there are 59 different peoples that combined make more that 10 million of the Mexican population. The indigenous peoples living in the state of Oaxaca make the 70% of the population in this state situated south of Mexico. THE VALUE OF THESE CULTURES Through our cultures we have found values such respect for nature and human life, through our traditions and costumes we have been able to practice those values and not like governments and political parties just talk about respect, justice, honesty, freedom, equality, solidarity and mutual co-operation. INTANGIBLE AND INSTRUMENTAL VALUES We could classify some of the values found in the traditions and costumes of these peoples in two categories: intangible and instrumental; intangible values such as respect, freedom, honesty. Instrumental values such as ways of labouring, as is the case of the tequio, method of electing authorities, ways of organising as a community, celebrations, etc. CULTURE AND THE CAPITALIST SYSTEM Our governments prostitute our Indigenous Culture, for us this is unacceptable, commercialising it is a way of limit its original value, our culture is part of our life as indigenous, we lose our dignity when they sell our culture.
