Regarding the creation of a simple, fast and effective judicial remedy to
review any decisions of the Supreme Elections Council that may affect human

information on the draft bill for the amendment of the Elections Law referred to
by the State. They stated that, even though at the March 23, 2006 meeting
YATAMA’s representatives did in fact undertake to submit a draft amendment,
they made a point of the fact that they required legal assistance therefor, which
assistance has not been provided. They further noted that the electoral reform
is the exclusive responsibility of the State. It is their view that, if the State does
in fact have a draft ready, such draft could be submitted to YATAMA's members
for their consideration; and
