They resolved to march onTrinidad to demand compllance with Supreme Decree 22610 and to assert the rights ofthe Mojenos. Chlmanes and Yuracares who Uve In that regton. The Bollvlan government ISSued Supreme Decree 22610 folloWing the hlstorlc march "For Territory and DJgnlty" In 1990. but Its provisions have not been Implemented or enforced. In a communique, the Indians of the TIPNIS asserted that thls time. "despite the good Intentions of some members of the government, we have encountered many problemslncludlngopposltionfromseveralgroups and lndlvlduals who do not wiSh to grant us the same rights enjoyed by every other BolivIan citizen. Thts behavior Indicates that there are people who continue to think Uke the Spaniards of 500 years ago.· The representatives assert that Article 2 of Supreme Decree 22610 expands the area of TIPNIS to the lslboro and Secu.r e rivers. InCorporating the communities situated on the banks of the rivers and forming a buffer zone. On October 19. 1992.TIPNIS brought a case before the prefect of the Ben! regarding a wealthy land owner. Sergto Zelada. who was attempting to deny the rights of the community of Lorna Alta. located on the right bank of the Islboro River within TIPNIS. On October 27 the legal counselor of the prefecture of the Ben! viSited Lorna Alta and decided that there was no Infraction. The Prefect then denied the TIPNIS claim. The Indian representatives who attended the second special session In San Bernardo resolved to reject the opinion of the public attorney and the prefectural resolution. because the title that Mr. Zelada has In hiS possession belongs to another person and was obtained after Supreme Decree 22610. The delegates denounced these antiIndian acts and bureaucratic deciSions. They stated that In thiS democratic day and age. there are bad Bollv!ans In government who neither execute nor respect the laws which the government Itself has made. For these reasons. the authorities of TIPNIS marched to Trlnldad to demand a public hearing to force the execution of the decree. If thiS IS not done, the delegates will be obllged to Oght until their territorial rights are respected.
