Hemos recibido la carta ACIN de octubre 14, 2008 a la Comisión Interamericana de Derechos Humanos de la OEA pidiendo intervención de esa instancia en protección de los Derechos Humanos y Derechos Indígenas en el caso de los Cabildos Indígenas del Norte del Cauca en Colombia, tal como son inscritas en la Declaración sobre los Derechos de los Pueblos Indígenas, adoptada por la Asamblea General de la ONU el día 13 de Septiembre de 2007.
