Rigoberta Menchú Tum Signing the DECLARATION OF THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLES SUMMIT OF THE AMERICAS Ottawa, Canada, 31 March, 2001 RIGOBERTA MENCHU CALLS FOR LATIN AMERICA WAR CRIMES TRIBUNAL By Bill Weinberg/ Summer 2001 Hemispheric Digest, Native Americas Journal On an April visit to Spain, Guatemalan indigenous leader and 1992 Nobel Peace Prize winner Rigoberta Menchú called for "an ad hoc tribunal to judge crimes against humanity committed in Latin America as we see in ex-Yugoslavia or in Rwanda." She specifically called for charges against those responsible for crimes committed by the dictatorships of Argentina, Chile and Guatemala, calling these "three paradigmatic cases." "In Guatemala, where there have been 200,000 deaths or disappearances, the most important thing now is that evidence of genocide not be lost," said Menchú, who was in Spain to receive an honorary degree from the University of Las Palmas in the Canary Islands. She said there could be no justice for war crimes under Guatemala's judicial system, and called upon survivors of the genocide to "prepare our legal complaints in anticipation of the day that we have a legitimate tribunal." Meanwhile, in Guatemala, human rights attorney Mynor Melgar faced death threats and a violent attack on his family just two days after publicly announcing that the Archbishop's Human Rights Office was preparing to charge former dictator Gen. Efrain Rios Montt with genocide. At midday on December 22, 2000, two unidentified armed men called at Melgar's home. Answering the front door, he was ordered to the bathroom at gunpoint. The two men tied up Melgar, his wife and his two sons and said, "This is only a warning, but the next time . . ." They then took some valuables and made off with Melgar's car.

1992 Nobel Peace Laureate Nobel website Rigoberta Menchu Tum Foundation Transcript of Rigoberta Menchu-Tum's Conference Speech Discussion ... Questions and Answers In her 1982 "as-told-to" autobiography, , she said, "I started thinking about my childhood, and I came to the conclusion that I hadn’t had a childhood at all. I was never a child. I hadn’t been to school, I hadn’t had enough food to grow properly, I had nothing. I asked myself: ‘How is this possible?’" It was possible in part because of the political turmoil that had plagued Guatemala since the country gained its independence in 1821. Except for one 10-year stretch of representative government, which began in 1945, the nation had endured years of rig ht-wing dictatorships, insurgencies, coups, and periods of military rule. For her efforts on behalf of indigenous people worldwide, she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1992. At age 33, she was the youngest person ever to receive this honor. "By maintaining a disarming humanity in a brutal world, Rigoberta Menchú Tum appeals to the best in all of us, wherever we live and whatever our background," said Francis Sejersted, chairman of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, in conferr ing the honor. "She stands as a uniquely potent symbol of a just struggle. "There is a most urgent need to define the rights of aboriginal peoples and to respect those rights in a manner which makes it possible to live in peace and mutual understanding," he added. "To succeed in this, we need people like Rigobe rta Menchú Tum."

RIGOBERTA MENCHÚ TUM, NÓBEL DE LA PAZ 1992 Biografí a Rigoberta Menchú nació en Guatemala en 1959, trabajó toda su niñez y juventud en las tierras de los terratenientes guatemaltecos. Nunca recibió educación formal. El premio fue anunciado en octubre de 1992. Se le otorgó "en reconocimiento de su trabajo para la justicia social y la reconciliación étnico-cultural basada en el respeto de los derechos indígenas". La decisión fue generalmente aplaudida, y las críticas conservadoras no tardaron en venir, ya que Menchú era acusada de promover acciones violentas en contra del gobierno de turno. Los Nóbeles anteriores se habían caracterizado por el uso de métodos que excluían la violencia, Aung San Suu Kyi de Burma es un ejemplo. Cierto es que Menchú había hecho llamamientos para levantarse en armas, tanto que dos de sus hermanas se integraron a la guerrilla. El ejército guatemalteco es acusado de haber asesinado brutalmente a sus padres y dos hermanos, por oponerse a los terratenientes. Estos hechos culminan con el incendio provocado en la embajada de España en 1980, donde su padre junto con otros campesinos mueren calcinados por bombas incendiarias. Las víctimas de la quema de la embajada española y de los siguientes dos días sumarían 42.

With the prize money, she established a foundation in her name to continue the same work. In early 1994, she returned to Guatemala after 13 years in exile in Mexico. In anticipation of the December, 1995 national elections, her foundation launched a National Campaign for Civic Participation, a non-partisan effort to encourage women and indigenous people to vote. Her decision not to take sides in the election angered some in the Guatemalan left, with whom she had collaborated in the 1980s. Menchu was interviewed in February in the foundation's New York offices by the NACLA editors. What motivated you to return to Guatemala in 1994?

At the doors of the third millennium, when there is much uncertainty, the indigenous peoples present flowerings of life and hope. In numerous countries, they have became central actors of new processes that are planting the seeds of a multiethnic, pluricultural and plurilingual future which will be the guarantee of a peace full and harmonious coexistence in these pluralistic societies. A multiplicity of innovative initiatives and proposals has gestated and consolidated a full and worthy participation of indigenous peoples in diverse aspects of the internal life of their countries. Deserving special mention is the growing protagonism in the political arena based on the rescue of ethical values and civic dignity with alternatives and proposals that seek to solve local problems as much as national ones. These achievements are made possible thanks to the fact that the indigenous peoples have begun to look for unity with common goals and objectives. Despite the fact that idea to divide us and cause confrontation between indigenous peoples persists, each day that passes, we overcome lack of unity and consolidate our identity. It is certain that there remains a long road to cover but we are advancing with firm steps.

A deep personal feeling and pride for my country and its very ancient culture. For the values of the community and the people to which I belong, for the love of my country, of Mother Nature. Whoever understands this respects life and encourages the struggle that aims at such objectives. I consider this Prize, not as an award to me personally, but rather as one of the greatest conquest in the struggle for peace, for the Human Rights and for the rights of the indigenous people who, along all these 500 years, have been split, fragmented, as well as the victims of genocides, repression and discrimination. Please allow me to convey to you all, what this Prize means to me.

The Problem of Racism on the Threshold of the 21st Century Human Rights Leader for Guatemala/1992 Nobel Peace Prize Guatemala, C.A. May 21, 1996 Dear Friends: Animated by the spirit of Spring, spirit of hope for peace in my native Guatemala, I send my best wishes for the success of the Sixth Lascasianas Symposium called by the Institute of Juridical Investigations of the National Autonoma University of Mexico. The central theme of this Sixth Symposium, "The Problem of Racism on the Threshold of the 21st Century," approaches an aspect of human coexistence that in my opinion, has historically manifested itself as a symptom of what humanity has left behind. If a phantom has at some time traveled this earth, it is racism. I understand this as a phenomenon that is supported by the belief of superiority in the face of difference, in the belief that ones own culture possesses values superior to those of other cultures. It has not been stated often enough that racism has historically been a banner to justify the enterprises of expansion, conquest, colonization and domination and has walked hand in hand with intolerance, injustice and violence. Without a doubt, we live in times in which overbearing, intolerant racist attitudes have been aggravated, but what can we propose to contribute to overcoming this evil? I believe that the organizations of the United Nations system, governments, national and international organizations and institutions, means of communication, schools, universities, etc., committed to world peace, should generate programs on a grand scale to redefine education, and the influence that they project toward society.

PORTADA ARTICULOS NOVEDADES NUESTRA HISTORIA ... PAISES Rigoberta Menchú Tum - Acerca del "Che" Al igual que mucha gente de mi pueblo, mi primer conocimiento del Che fue más por su imagen y simbolismo que por sus escritos y su obra. En los tiempos más difíciles en esta larga lucha por el respeto a nuestros derechos humanos y como pueblos indígenas, la imagen del Che ha encarnado la conciencia y la determinación de ser fiel hasta la muerte con las ideas en las que creemos. En los tiempos actuales, en los que para muchos la ética y otros valores profundos son baratijas que se compran y se venden, el ejemplo del Che cobra una dimensión todavía mayor. Como mujer indígena, hago una lectura nueva del pensamiento del Che, de cara a los gigantescos esfuerzos de los pueblos indios en todo el mundo por lograr el reconocimiento y el respeto a sus derechos y valores milenarios. Seguramente, iremos encontrando mejores enfoques sobre las ideas y la acción de ese hombre ejemplar. Hay que resaltar la profunda sensibilidad que el Che tuvo a los problemas del mundo así como la necesidad de los cambios. En el corazón de los pueblos vivirá siempre la conciencia internacionalista del Che.

"El tiempo que compartí con mis padres fue muy corto. Primero porque para sobrevivir tuve que trabajar desde temprana edad y segundo, porque la muerte de mis padres fue prematura. Mi papá murió en la masacre de la embajada de España y mi mamá fue torturada y muerta por los militares ", recuerda con profundo dolor. "Cuando murió mi padre no había tomado mucha conciencia, pero cuando ocurrió lo de mamá dije: jamás me voy a callar frente a esto!. Desde entonces no tuve otra ilusión que defender la vida de ellos por medio de la denuncia ... después se ampliaron mis horizontes y reconocí una tragedia universal, por eso me siento parte de esta lucha para reivindicar la honorabilidad de la vida y la historia", afirma.

Según sus testimonios, recientemente calificados de medias verdades por un investigador estadounidense, su hermano menor fue secuestrado y asesinado por el ejército, su padre quemado vivo junto con otros veintinueve ocupantes de la embajada de España y, pocos meses después, su madre también moría torturada. Rigoberta salió del país y se refugió en México a los 21 años, donde fue acogida en Chiapas por el obispo Samuel Ruíz García. Al año siguiente volvió a Guatemala pero muy pronto tuvo que refugiarse en Nicaragua y luego otra vez en México. Desde allí inició una serie de viajes cuyo epicentro fue Ginebra, donde participaba en el grupo de trabajo de la ONU sobre poblaciones indígenas.
