	Oaxaca: State Profile
		Oaxaca is the state with the highest rate of infant mortality: 38 /1000 live births.
		Although the municipality was the first link between indigenous communities and Colonial authorities and later the Nation State, it has also been the arena where the communities defended their territorial rights and fought for their own forms of government.
		Oaxaca has a vast wealth of these but there is a need for studies, resources, and a clear strategy to define priorities and to establish the right kind of production system, accompanied by the education and training of community technical advisors and the search for markets.

		Maya supporters of the Zapatistas have declared "autonomous municipalities," which they say are authorized by the 1996 accords.
		The autonomous municipalities demanded by Maya villagers in Chiapas are similarly seeking to govern themselves according to their traditions, but so far plantation-like power structures have denied them their rights.
		As critical as local democratic autonomy is to resolving Mexico's conflicts, though, it is not sufficient to tackle the structural economic problems plaguing the region.

	ZNet \| Chiapas \| The Mexican State on Trial
		Starting in June of last year, more than 330 indigenous municipalities in Oaxaca, Chiapas, Guerrero, Veracruz, Puebla, Morelos, the State of Mexico, MichoacÃ¡n and Jalisco filed constitutional objections, asking the Supreme Court to invalidate the so-called "indigenous law," which was approved by the Congress of the Union and a majority of state legislatures.
		The zapatista consulta got more votes in Oaxaca than even JosÃ© Murat got for governor (in the entire country, close to three million citizens voted in the EZLN consulta)." Because of that, he warned: "Even though the arguments that the Court will use will be legal, its decision will be political.
		As a consequence of the constitutional reform, Herrera argues, "the form of organization and municipal autonomy was altered, contained in Article 115 of the Constitution and in the organic laws of the petitioning municipalities, without the legislators having given them an opportunity to participate in the discussion and approval process in defense of their interests."
