The article discusses the unfulfillment of peace accords made by the government of California. Thousands of people-workers and political activists of California demanded for government compliance with the January 1992 peace accords.

In months since the signing of accords, wide gaps have opened between the vision on paper and the enforcement in practice. Clearly, full implementation will require intensive domestic and international pressure.
