Abstract
Join us for a discussion on the Special Development and Employment Zones (Zedes in Spanish) also known as “charter cities” in Honduras. Zedes are being touted as a new model of “free trade zones” where these zones would have their own government, legal system, police force and tax systems. In this model, the government of Honduras would have no jurisdiction on the land slated as a ZEDE. Under Zedes, there is a lack of consultation, transparency and accountability to the communities of Honduras as well as the nation-state. Local and international communities have grave concerns over land dispossession as ZEDES can expropriate land for development without challenge from landholders. Learn directly from our partners on the ground who are organizing against this new form of colonialism and act in solidarity to advocate against US involvement.
