La Sexta Declaración de la Selva Lacandona

La Sexta Declaración de la Selva Lacandona, issued in 1996, is a political manifesto by the Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN) in Mexico. It articulates their stance against neoliberal economic policies, advocating for indigenous rights, social justice, and Mexican sovereignty. The declaration criticizes government and global economic systems for marginalizing indigenous peoples and emphasizes autonomous decision-making by local communities. It calls for widespread social change, solidifies the EZLN’s commitment to resisting exploitation, and promotes respect for indigenous cultures and their self-determination within a more equitable society.
