| Summary: |
In the year 2012, the planting of genetically modified soy bean on a commercial scale was authorized in Mayan communities of the state of Campeche, Mexico. Indigenous organizations have opposed this fact by the legal means, obtaining, after three years, a favorable ruling from the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation, but still not definitive, since this maximum legal authority conditioned the planting to the realization of consultation in affected indigenous communities.The first calls for the consultation were made by the authorities since March 31st, 2016. In accordance with the protocol presented by the authorities in charge of the organization and implementation of the of consultation process, it will consist of five phases. Up to September 2017, there have been carried out five meetings that correspond scarcely to the first phase of the process (Prior Agreements).
Since consultation figure is relatively new in Mexico, and to the marked and traditional asymmetric relationship between official authorities and indigenous communities, the process to which we refer has seen hampered, since the first ones, accustomed to imposing conditions, have determined in this sense, and the second ones, are decided to defend their rights. The extremely irregular development of this consultation process is the main theme of this paper. |
