Within the framework of Human Rights Day, celebrated on December 10, Natarén and Aquino presented an analysis of the prevailing situation in the entity, where at least 6,500 people live in a situation of displacement and are denied all their guarantees individual.
Chiapas, together with Guerrero, are the states with the highest number of displaced people. The current largest number of people who have had to leave their community forcibly come from the Altos de Chiapas region, specifically from Chenalhó and Aldama.
Although the cases of displacement are different and generated by problems that at first glance seem different, the consequences suffered by families in both places are the same: the systematic violation of their human rights, since they do not have access to decent housing, to the most basic services such as drinking water or the right to health.
The activist and president of the Ku’untik Center for Human Rights (CDH), Diego Cadenas Gordillo, stated that forced displacement in the state is a phenomenon that has mainly affected the lives of indigenous people, a situation that has prevailed for decades. From 2009 to January 2017, in Mexico 310,527 people had to be displaced internally due to violence or due to territorial, religious or political conflicts, according to the Mexican Commission for the Defense and Promotion of Human Rights (CMDPDH).
Chiapas shares the seriousness of this social problem with Guerrero, both are the states that most register this type of situation, which is why they are the only ones that have a State Council for Comprehensive Attention to Internal Displacement, “but, despite this, The existence of the Comprehensive Law for Attention to Internal Displacement has not been prevented, nor has it been avoided, less adequately cared for displaced people in both entities. In Chiapas, the council is legally constituted and eventually meets, but not as it should be ”.
The director of CDH Ku'untik concluded that it is important to note that “the Mexican state is not complying with the international obligations it assumed on the issue of internal forced displacement and that, although we can consider progress regarding the recognition that there are people in a situation of displacement that require attention and solution, goes very slowly. People continue to be displaced and go hungry. There is an emergency regarding the disappeared and the displaced ”.
