San Andres Accords

The San Andrés Accords are a set of agreements signed in 1996 between the Mexican government and the Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN), a group advocating for indigenous rights and social justice. The accords aimed to address issues affecting indigenous communities, such as land rights, cultural recognition, and political representation. Although the agreements were not fully implemented, they highlighted the need for reform and sparked discussions on indigenous rights in Mexico, marking a significant moment in the country's socio-political landscape. The accords symbolize a broader struggle for equality and justice within marginalized communities.
