Abstract
FERNANDEZ CHRISTLIEB, Paulina. Justice autonomous versus the formal justice. Estud. polít. (Méx.) [online]. 2012, n.26, pp.37-55. ISSN 0185-1616.
This paper describes the differences that oppose the Western conception of justice to the indigenous people of Latin America. It initiates with the international provisions as the ILO Convention 169 and the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People and discusses the amendment of article 2 of the Mexican Constitution to show that all these laws override the contents of the Agreements of San Andres regarding the autonomous administration of justice by indigenous people.
Keywords : Autonomy; community justice; rights of indigenous people; EZLN; Agreements of San Andres; second article of the Mexican United States Constitution.
