http://www.undp.org/csopp/CSO/NewFiles/policiesip.html

Extractions: 1. For several decades, development strategies and theories focused on economic progress and were implicitly or explicitly based on the concept that the less developed countries were divided into a backward, pre-industrial, traditional sector and a more dynamic, modern and Western-oriented industrialised sector. The process of development was understood as the physical and economic expansion of the modern sector. Indigenous peoples as part of the pre-industrial, 'backward' sector of society lost, through this process, their socio-cultural autonomy and economic independence and became a marginalised group within modern society. In numerous cases they had to make way, even literally, for development in the form of programmes designed by and for others when they were 'resettled'. 2. Post-war development strategies and policies often caused a deterioration of the situation of many indigenous communities and even pushed some groups to the edge of extinction. A number of developments indicate that there is a growing will among governments and multilateral and bilateral organisations to give more attention to the situation of indigenous peoples: The conditions in which indigenous peoples live are gradually getting more attention as bilateral and multilateral organisations are reshaping their development strategies and policies. Of particular importance in this regard are the increased emphasis of current strategies on enlarging peoples' capabilities and on promoting their empowerment, and the introduction of the concept of 'sustainability' which has brought development and environment into one logical framework and built an iideological bridge between the 'traditional' and the 'modern' sector by recognising the significance of indigenous peoples' holistic traditional knowledge of the environment and their vision of their 'stewardship' for nature and management of natural resources.

Extractions: The Brazilian Embassy Indigenous Groups in Brazil for which SIL has information Indigenous groups are groups of people who are native to a given region before colonization by Europeans or other peoples. The languages spoken by indigenous peoples are completely unrelated to European languages, coming from different language families and stocks (see our page on languages of Brazil ) Their cultures and ways of life in general are also different. Unfortunately, there exists a history of exploitation of indigenous groups by colonizing peoples. In recent decades attitudes toward indigenous peoples have begun to change, and organizations such as SIL have been involved in attempts to preserve the languages and cultures of indigenous peoples around the world. The following is a list of the indigenous groups of Brazil for which SIL has information. Each group has its own page on this site which contains specific information about the group. A

http://www.ldb.org/indi99.htm

Extractions: November 30 - December 3, 1999 We, the Indigenous Peoples from various regions of the world, have come to Seattle to express our great concern over how the World Trade Organization is destroying Mother Earth and the cultural and biological diversity of which we are a part. Trade liberalization and export-oriented development, which are the overriding principles and policies pushed by the WTO, are creating the most adverse impacts on the lives of Indigenous Peoples. Our inherent right to self-determination, our sovereignty as nations, and treaties and other constructive agreements which Indigenous nations and Peoples have negotiated with other nation-states, are undermined by most of the WTO Agreements. The disproportionate impact of these Agreements on our communities, whether through environmental degradation or the militarization and violence that often accompanies development projects, is serious and therefore should be addressed immediately. The WTO Agreement on Agriculture (AOA), which promotes export competition and import liberalization, has allowed the entry of cheap agricultural products into our communities. It is causing the destruction of ecologically rational and sustainable agricultural practices of Indigenous Peoples.

Its supreme authority is its general assembly, which is made up of representativesof indigenous peoples and of member country governments.
http://www.iadb.org/idbamerica/archive/stories/1999/eng/e1099s12.htm

Extractions: From the time of Columbus, indigenous people have taken what measures they could to protect their rights. But it was only with the establishment of the Indigenous Peoples Fund in 1992 that the native peoples of Latin America and the Caribbean at last had a major organization of their own that also enjoyed the backing of their national governments and the international community. The fund has become a leading force for improving the status of indigenous peoples throughout the region. Much of its success is due to the principles on which it was founded, according to Anne Deruyttere, anthropologist and chief of the IDBs Indigenous Peoples and Community Development Unit, and who worked with the government of Bolivia in starting the organization. The fund is a tripartite organizationof indigenous people, Latin American governments and governments from outside the regionin which the beneficiaries take a direct role in decision making. Its supreme authority is its general assembly, which is made up of representatives of indigenous peoples and of member country governments. Its board of directors consists of six representatives of indigenous peoples and three each from regional and nonregional member governments.

In Amazonia and Siberia: Legal aspects of the preservation of the environment and development in the last open spaces , ed. M. Bothe, T. Kurzidem, and C. Schmidt, 310-27. London: Graham and Trotman. Edited by Hans-Joachim Heintze 1. Introduction It has never been realized by the public as it has been case with the UN or the UNESCO, that the International Labour Organisation (ILO) has, since 1919, assigned an important place to human rights in its fields of competence. The organization has been,,a principal inspiration of the universal and regional texts relating economic and social rights, and to certain civil rights-indig.htmland political rights." This is especially true in connection with the protection of indigenous peoples. The ILO became active in this field long before the United Nations. There is no mention of this problem in any of the basic UN instruments relating to human rights. In general, and in the special case of indigenous peoples, the following statement about international law is correct:,,The progressive development of international law is a continuing process, and there remain a number of areas in which agreement on more detailed legal regimes is still needed. In some cases this is because international opinion is only just becoming seriously interested in particular problems."
