Conclusion

The assembly is at the center of the Zapatista autonomous government. It is the means by which all decisions are made and all problems are addressed. This form of governance is the concrete manifestation of the creation of the collective heart, of the passage from ko’onkutik to ko’ontik. It is a form of governance that aims to ensure that all voices are heard and that their words have equal weight. Decision-making in Zapatista autonomous government proceeds by dialogue, consultation, and mutual agreement. It functions according to the logic of the seven principles of governing by obeying. Although the assembly is the core of the autonomous government system, the principles that are manifested in the assembly inform numerous aspects of Zapatista governance. These principles guide multiple different aspects of the government system, from the creation of initiatives like the BANPAZ in La Realidad to the redress of grievances in the practice of Zapatista justice.
