Résumé :
Peasant and indigenous communities have been the weakest link in the drug trafficking production chain in the Andean countries, and thus it is important to investigate and understand the association between the illegal drugs industry and the violation of the human rights of these social groups. In order to advance this line of inquiry, this essay focuses first on why the illegal drugs industry establishes itself in a region or country and on the relationship between the industry and human rights violations. Following a pattern similar to that applied to the Colombian case, the article next delves into the relationship between the illegal drugs industry and peasant and indigenous communities human rights in Bolivia and Peru, addressing the consequences of the illegal industrys development, policies, and the citizenrys reaction. In the cases of Bolivia and Peru special attention is paid to the role of the illegal industrys development and of eradication policies in strengthening cocalero organizations, and to the political emergence of indigenous leaders associated with illicit farmers. The article then turns to relationships among the illegal industry, political corruption and human rights. In the Peruvian case the relationship between the industry and subversive movements during the 1980s is also explored (author's abstract)
