The Permanent Commission of Indigenous Peoples
will be deployed by all native communities to disseminate and
debate the Organic Law of Justice of Communal Peace, approved by
the National Assembly (AN) on November 12, and
enacted by the Executive last Thursday.
The
president of the commission, deputy Nicia Maldonado
(PSUV/National) explained, this Wednesday, at the
regular meeting of the instance, that the deployment seeks to socialize the law to support
the Supreme Court of Justice in the implementation of the rule.
He reiterated the importance of
this socialization, because "indigenous peoples are
not homogeneous, they are heterogeneous, they are different communities”.
He pointed out that the Yanomami have one way of applying
justice; the Jivi, the Yekuana and the Pemones a different one.
He added that progress has already
been made in some communities; in the Yekuana people,
their special jurisdiction has been organized through the creation of a court
called Tuduma Saka, which functions according to their uses and customs.
In the case of the Pemones, he reiterated, their own justice system is already
in place.
Maldonado
commented that the responsible deputies of each state must explain
precisely the purpose of the Organic Law of Justice of
Communal Peace; so that, in those communities where there are Community
Councils of indigenous peoples, they can be elected on
December 15.
The parliamentarian reiterated that the
purpose of the Law is to establish the rules for the organization and
functioning of community peace justice, as an area of
participation of the People's Power and Special Jurisdiction
of the Justice System; for the preservation of family harmony, neighborhood and community
coexistence.
Another of the points
addressed at the meeting was the proposal made by the President
of the Parliament, Deputy Jorge Rodríguez (Dtto.
Capital), to draft the Special Liberator Simón Bolívar Law
against the Blockade and Defense of the Bolivarian Republic of
Venezuela, to condemn acts of treason.
In this regard, he asserted that indigenous
communities will be informed of the decision taken by the
National Parliament from the instance; and added that the proposal will be well received by the
people in the face of persistent threats. Indigenous peoples
will always be on the offensive, that is, “in the face of an attack, a
counterattack, to deepen the sovereignty of the homeland,” he concluded.
