INTERNATIONAL COMMISSION FOR HUMAN RIGHTS OBSERVATION EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS Conclusions to the work of observation carried out by the International Civil Commission for human rights observation (translation by the Irish Mexico Group) After ordering and analysing the information gathered, the Commission notes that the human rights situation in the Mexican state of Chiapas is deteriorating gravely. The State of Chiapas is currently suffering the consequences of a situation of profound political upheaval and of worrying social breakdown. It is perceived that institutional structures at all levels are incapable of enforcing the rule of law, and that Chiapan society, and especially the indigenous communities, suffers the consequences of a general situation of violence and impunity. The factors which contribute in greatest measure to this situation are the following: 1. The intense militarization of the area. 2. The presence of paramilitary death squads. 3. The situation of generalized impunity. 4. The obstacles impeding recourse to justice.
