Llamado unitario a la solidaridad efectiva con los pueblos afectados por la violencia sistemática del modelo neoliberal en América latina y el Caribe
Summary
A joint statement by various social and environmental organizations, including Friends of the Earth Latin America and the Caribbean, denouncing the systematic violence and impunity facing social activists and land defenders in Latin America and the Caribbean. The document links these killings to a neoliberal model of accumulation and dispossession and calls for an internationalist front against fascism to protect human rights defenders.
Key insights
- The document reports a systematic policy of extermination against social fighters and defenders of territories and rights in Latin America and the Caribbean, which has intensified due to the rise of neoliberal fundamentalism and a new conservative wave.
- Recent violent events cited as evidence of this trend include the murder of Sergio Rojas in Costa Rica, the death of eight indigenous people in Colombia, and the murder of Dilma Ferreira Silva in Brazil.
- The authors attribute the increase in regional killings to an 'architecture of impunity' facilitated by imperialist forces and transnational corporations that profit from economic and environmental corporatization and financialization.
- The statement criticizes states, governments, and multilateral organizations for failing to provide effective protection measures, noting that the material and intellectual authors of these murders often remain unidentified and unpunished.
- The signatory organizations call for the creation of an internationalist front against fascism to denounce the social and political massacre in the region and demand justice for the victims.
