    Peace Agreements Digital Collection Guatemala >> Agreement on identity and rights of indigenous peoples Agreement on identity and rights of indigenous peoples Considering That the question of identity and rights of indigenous peoples is a vital issue of historic importance for the present and future of Guatemala; That the indigenous peoples include the Maya people, the Garifuna people and the Xinca people, and that the Maya people consist of various socio-cultural groups having a common origin; That, because of its history, conquest, colonization, movements and migrations, the Guatemalan nation is multi-ethnic, multicultural and multilingual in nature; That the parties recognize and respect the identity and political, economic, social and cultural rights of the Maya, Garifuna and Xinca peoples, within the unity of the Guatemalan nation, and subject to the indivisibility of the territory of the Guatemalan State, as components of that unity; That the indigenous peoples have been particularly subject to de facto levels of discrimination, exploitation and injustice, on account of their origin, culture and language and that, like many other sectors of the national community, they have to endure unequal and unjust treatment and conditions on account of their economic and social status; That this historical reality has affected and continues to affect these peoples profoundly, denying them the full exercise of their rights and political participation, and hampering the configuration of a national unity which should adequately reflect the rich

The report itself, which is annexed to this document, is being reproduced in the language of submission (French) and translated into English and Spanish. ** The reason for the late submission of this report is to reflect the latest information. GE.05-12852 (E) 270405 290405 E/CN.4/2005/18/Add.2 page 2 Summary From 26 June to 2 July 2004, the Special Rapporteur visited Guatemala as part of a mission to the Central American region that also took him to Honduras and Nicaragua (see E/CN.4/2005/18/Add.5 and Add.6). He visited the country at the invitation of the Government of Guatemala and in pursuance of his mandate. The regional mission was prompted by the need for the Special Rapporteur to help to shed light on two particularly significant factors in the problem of racism: (1) the depth of the historical legacy of racism and racial discrimination, the ideological underpinning of the slave-holding and colonial systems, which has had a deep influence on the structure of societies in the region; and (2) the impact of the political violence that has marked the recent history of Central America on communities of indigenous people and people of African descent, which have historically experienced discrimination.

  • Mayan Spirituality and Lands in Guatemala
    MAYAN SPIRITUALITY AND LANDS IN GUATEMALA Romeo Tiu López I. BACKGROUND In order to understand the issue of Mayan spirituality and land rights in Guatemala, it is important to know the contextual background of the people. Before the Spanish Conquest, the Mayas occupied an extensive territory, covering what is now known as Chiapas and Yucatan in Mexico, Guatemala, and Belize. According to archaeological investigations,1 the Mayan territory that occupies parts of these three countries includes a number of linguistic territories that are still used and one that has died out (Chikomuselteko). There are twenty-one territories settled in Guatemala today defined by language, and they are: Achi, Akateko, Awakateko, Chorti, Cluj, Itza, Ixil, Popti, Kanjob’al, Kaqchikel, K’iche’, Mam, Mopan, Poqomam, Pocomchi, Q’eqchi (which extends up to Belize), Sakapulteko, Sipakapense, Tektiteko, Tz’utuhil, Uspanteco. But in Chiapas and Yucatan there also exist Teko, Mocho’ Tjolab’al, Tzotzil, Tzleltal, Chol, Chontal, Maya, Lakantun, Wasteko.2 As well as language, there are other features that provide strong identity bonds, for instance, clothing, social organization, traditional authorities, spirituality, and other elements. Although there are Mayas living in three different nations, Mexico, Guatemala, and Belize, their economic situation is similar. They suffer quite strong discrimination as a result of the loss or negation of their rights. In the case of Guatemala this situation can be easily seen in the vestiges of an internal armed conflict that lasted more than thirty years and whose victims were almost all Mayan – 83.33% according to the February 1999 report of the Commission for Historical Clarification of Human Rights Violations and Violent Acts which have Caused Suffering to the Guatemalan Population (CEH), “Guatemala, Memory of Silence” (Memorias del Silencio).3 In the conflict that began in Chiapas in 1994, and lasted for nine years, the largest number of victims were also Mayan.
