Context
The fact that the 2009 World Social Forum takes place in Belém, the home city for so many indigenous peoples and a city that has witnessed their successful struggle for freedom after centuries of oppression encourages us to establish a network of peoples and nations that are deprived of their collective rights, so that together, and more effectively than in the past, we may open up new pathways towards another possible world.
Respect for the collective rights of peoples: one of the cornerstones of another possible world.
