Vicente Fox Quesada Presidente Constitucional de los Estados Unidos Mexicanos Estimado amigo: Hace unos dmas me dirigm a Ud. para ponderar la posicisn de su gobierno en torno al entonces escenario prebilico en el seno del Consejo de Seguridad, instandole a mantener firmeza en la causa de la defensa de la paz. Hoy, a casi dos semanas del inicio de las hostilidades, y fecha en que Mexico asume la presidencia del Consejo de Seguridad de las Naciones Unidas, deseo expresarle mi profunda preocupacisn por los resultados de esta tan ilegal como inadmisible agresisn, y urgir a su gobierno a hacerse eco de los millones de voces que no cesan de levantarse contra la guerra en todo el mundo y cumplir un papel histsrico en defensa de la vida y la dignidad del indefenso pueblo iraqum asm como de la maltrecha legalidad internacional. La invasisn a Irak y las masacres de su poblacisn civil emprendidas por las fuerzas armadas de los Estados Unidos y un pequeqo grupo de pamses representan, inobjetablemente, un acto de agresisn unilateral que contraviene expresamente el Artmculo 2 de la Carta de las Naciones Unidas, constituyendo un delito internacional. Frente a ello, deseo expresarle mi estupor frente a la paralisis de la comunidad internacional, que ha sucumbido a la presisn estadounidense, anteponiendo la discusisn de asuntos de ayuda humanitaria y la reparticisn del botmn de la reconstruccisn de Irak, mientras el delito polmtico permanece impune y sus perpetradores dispuestos a continuar -insaciables- derramando sangre inocente.

was born on January 9, 1959 to a poor Indian peasant family and raised in the Quiche branch of the Mayan culture. In her early years she helped with the family farm work, either in the northern highlands where her family lived, or on the Pacific coast, where both adults and children went to pick coffee on the big plantations. In 1979, Rigoberta, too, joined the CUC. That year her brother was arrested, tortured and killed by the army. The following year, her father was killed when security forces in the capital stormed the Spanish Embassy where he and some other peasants were staying. Shortly afterwards, her mother also died after having been arrested, tortured and raped. Rigoberta became increasingly active in the CUC, and taught herself Spanish as well as other Mayan languages than her native Quiche. In 1980, she figured prominently in a strike the CUC organized for better conditions for farm workers on the Pacific coast, and on May 1, 1981, she was active in large demonstrations in the capital. She joined the radical 31st of January Popular Front, in which her contribution chiefly consisted of educating the Indian peasant population in resistance to massive military oppression.

THE NOBEL FOUNDATION Nobel Lecture Human Rights Leader for Guatemala/1992 Nobel Peace Prize December 10, 1992 at Oslo City Hall, Oslo, Norway Your Majesties, the King and Queen of Norway,The Honourable Members of the Nobel Peace Committee, Your Excellency, the Prime Minister, Your Excellencies, members of the Government and the Diplomatic Corps, Dear Guatemalan countrymen and women, Ladies and Gentlemen: I feel a deep emotion and pride for the honour of having been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for 1992. 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.

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."

Carta de Rigoberta Menchu al Presidente de los Estados Unidos Rigoberta Menchú Tum Premio Nobel de la Paz Embajadora de Buena Voluntad de la Cultura de Paz Publicado en globalresearch.ca el 30 de septiembre 2001 Al señor George W. Bush Presidente De Los Estados Unidos De América Washington, D.C. - E.U.A. Excelentísimo señor presidente: Deseo, en primer lugar, reiterar a Ud. la solidaridad y condolencia que expresé a todo su pueblo el martes 11 pasado, luego de conocer los dolorosos sucesos ocurridos en su país, así como compartir mi indignación y condena a las amenazas que entrañan esos actos de terrorismo. En los últimos días he estado pendiente de la evolución de los acontecimientos, empeñando mis mejores oficios en que la respuesta a dichos sucesos sea la reflexión, no la obsecación; la cordura, no la ira; la búsqueda de justicia, no la revancha. He invocado la conciencia de los pueblos del mundo, a los medios de comunicación, a las personalidades eminentes con las que comparto un compromiso ético con la paz, a los jefes de Estado y los líderes de los organismos internacionales, para que la cordura ilumine nuestros actos. Sin embargo, señor presidente, al escuchar anoche el mensaje que dirigió al Congreso de su país, no he podido reprimir una sensación de temor por lo que puede desprenderse de sus palabras. Llama Ud. a su pueblo a prepararse para "una larga campaña como no hemos visto ninguna otra jamás", y a sus militares a salvar su orgullo, marchando a una guerra de la que pretende hacernos parte a todos los pueblos del mundo.

Texte: Yves Hardi Photos: Club Quetzal 2003 "Elle arrivait de l'horreur vêtue de couleurs éclatantes." Ainsi la dépeint sa biographe, Élisabeth Burgos, qui avait recueilli dix ans plus tôt son émouvant témoignage, Moi, Rigoberta Menchu. Un visage rond et souriant posé sur un huipil (corsage) brodé : rien au premier abord ne laisse en effet imaginer le long calvaire qu'ont dû endurer cette petite femme rondelette tout comme ses proches. Née en 1959 sur l'altiplano (les hauts plateaux), dans le village de Chimel, près de San Miguel Uspantán, Rigoberta Menchu est l'un des neuf enfants d'un couple de paysans quiché, famille pauvre mais fière de ses traditions. La jeune Rigoberta consacre plus de temps à semer et à récolter la milpa (terre cultivée de maïs) qu'à étudier, car son père avertissait : "Mes enfants, n'ayez pas l'ambition d'aller aux écoles, parce que c'est là qu'ils nous enlèvent nos coutumes."
