The strategy of President Alvaro Colom to establish 30 working days from 24 February to 6 April, for the indigenous peoples of Guatemala, more than 6 million people, raised in writing his "comments and observations" to the proposed regulation of Convention 169 is a gross manipulation than just calls actors who have access to the proposal because they speak and read Castilian, but leaves out the majority indigenous, rural and illiterate. This is not a participatory process but on the contrary, the Indians placed against the wall to accept the rules that defends the interests of operators of non-renewable resources in indigenous territories.

This government has been characterized by failure to promote honest and participatory dialogue with indigenous sectors, although discursively otherwise. If the Government seeks to build a comprehensive dialogue, first, had consulted the communities living in or around mining projects and, second, to other communities or mestizo who have resources and are slated to be awarded to applicants. So 30 days is set to impose the regulation, which will only make cosmetic changes, reducing the query to a blatant excuse. What the Executive and is to pressure companies seeking some indigenous organizations to accept the proposal or develop a counter running at the end of which take one or two points and thus achieve its objective: to deliver much of the indigenous territories extractive companies .

Unfortunately, pressure on the Indians to build a counter in this context is also the position of reporter James Anaya and the International Work. This shows that the international instruments on human rights and do not conform to the reality of peoples.

same thing happened in September 2002 when the law passed under pressure against Discrimination. The argument was that it was the most that could be achieved and that the Indians should accept it. And there is the general law difficult to apply and does little to punish the Indians or repair the structural racism.

approve regulations for consultation, without consulting the people directly concerned, is to mock them, continue to violate their rights and continue to deliver nationwide.
