El 2 de noviembre de 2011 la Sala Superior del Tribunal Electoral del Poder Judicial de la Federación emitió una resolución a favor del municipio indígena de Cherán en la que por primera vez en la historia del Estado mexicano reconoció el derecho de un municipio indígena para elegir a una autoridad municipal conformada de acuerdo a sus “usos y costumbres”. Esta sentencia que ha sido considerada paradigmática en materia de derechos humanos de los pueblos indígenas en realidad fue el corolario de un extraordinario proceso social que trastocó la escena política de Michoacán en plena coyuntura electoral. En este trabajo reflexiono a partir de mi experiencia como abogado de la comunidad de Cherán en el proceso judicial citado y como participante de este proceso los alcances y los límites del uso del derecho en los movimientos sociales de los pueblos indígenas de México.palabras clave: Cherán, derechos humanos, “usos y costumbres” y uso críticodel derecho.---LAW IN UPRISING: The counter-hegemonic use of law in the Purepecha movement of CheranOn November 2nd, 2011, the Electoral Court of the Judicial Power of the Federation in México, issued a resolution in favor of the indigenous town of Cherán. For the first time in México’s history, the state recognized an indigenous municipality’s right to elect a municipal authority formed according to their “uses and customs”. This judgment, which has been considered paradigmatic for indigenous peoples’ human rights, was actually the culmination of a remarkable social process that disrupted Michoacán’s political scene, while in full electoral conjuncture. Parting from my experience as a lawyer of the community of Cherán in said judicial process, and as a participant of it, I reflect in this paper on the scope and the limits of the use of law by the social movements of México’s indigenous peoples.keywords: Cherán, human rights, “customary”, and law’s critical use.

The Right

AbstractThe right to an education that is consonant with and draws upon the culture and language of indigenous peoples is a human right which is too often overlooked by governments when they develop and implement programmes whose purported goals are to improve the social, economic and political status of these peoples. Educational programmes for indigenous peoples must fully respect and integrate human rights protections, particularly rights to cultural continuity and integrity. Racist attitudes dominate many government development programmes aimed at indigenous peoples. Educational programmes for indigenous peoples are often designed to forcibly assimilate them and destroy the uniqueness of their language, values, culture and relationship with their native lands. Until indigenous peoples are empowered to develop educational programmes for their own communities that reflect and promote their values and culture, their human rights are likely to remain threatened by governments that use education as a political mechanism for coercing indigenous peoples to adapt to a majority culture that does not recognize their rights, and that seeks to destroy their ability to sustain and pass on to future generations their language and culture.

First Time

This article examines two recent landmark cases in Guatemala. The first one is the 2013 Rios Montt genocide case, which led to one of the first convictions of a former Head of State for genocide in a national court. The second one is the 2016 Sepur Zarco case, which marked the first time former military commanders were convicted in a national court of crimes against the duties of humanity for sexual and domestic slavery. In both cases, almost all the victims were Indigenous. The author was present for parts of both trials as an international observer and interviewed individuals directly involved in the prosecution. Considering that Guatemalan and international law require that legal decisions give due consideration to the customs of the Indigenous peoples concerned, the article assesses to what extent Indigenous culture was taken into account during the trial and how Indigenous concepts and customs were considered in the judgements. In both cases, the tribunal did not modify usual court procedures, except to provide interpreters for the testimony of the unilingual Q’eqchi and Ixil witnesses. Both judgements did, however, take into account several concepts and customs from the Mayan worldview and these were key to the Court’s reasoning leading to the guilty verdicts.

This article traces the development of indigenous peoples' international activity and considers why the international indigenous movement has grown since the 1970s. The authors examine the draft declaration on the rights of indigenous peoples which is due to be considered by the United Nations Commission on Human Rights for the first time in early 1995. The article makes some general points about the draft declaration before looking in some detail at three of its provisions: the right to protection from ethnocide and cultural genocide, the right to guarantees in relation to cultural and intellectual property, and the provision about treaties between indigenous peoples and States. The authors argue that although these provisions build on existing international law, they constitute an innovative evolution of international human rights standards.

Circulation Of Knowledge

The Argentinian territorialization of the queer perspective articulated the academy with social, TLGB and human rights movements. Empowered by trans/transvestite policies against police and institutional repression, the queer critique made visible the hierarchy produced by the sex-generic differences through the social maps traced by the class, ethnic and age stratifications. The law that expanded marriage irrespective of the sex of its partners (2010) and the Gender Identity Law (2012), among others, challenge and impact the institutional implementation of Integral Sexual Education in the face of the tension between the identitarian normalization of differences and the systematic questioning and disassembly of (a)normalization dynamics. This work proposes a political genealogy of the first territorializations of the queer perspective in Argentina to reflect on the articulation of activism and social movements with the institutional mechanisms of production, legitimation and circulation of knowledge in a sex-generic key.

Este documento pretende mostrar una problemática macrosocial al considerar la construcción de derechos humanos religiosos y de los pueblos indígenas en los ámbitos internacional y nacional, y cómo son o no retomados por las instancias nacionales no solo para la solución de conflictos religiosos sino también para garantizar los derechos humanos religiosos de los pueblos indígenas. Desde esta perspectiva interesa también, a la luz de los conflictos religiosos, observar cómo son ejercidos los derechos políticos y sociales por los indígenas y si los operadores de la justicia los toman en cuenta. ABSTRACT This document aims to demonstrate a set of macrosocial problems regarding the construction of religious human rights and the human rights of indigenous peoples in the international and national spheres, and how they are or are not considered by national authorities, not only in resolving religious disputes, but also protecting the religious human rights of indigenous peoples. From this perspective, and in light of ongoing religious conflicts, the document also looks at how political and social rights are exercised by indigenous peoples, and whether said rights are taken into account by the administrators of justice.
