Rights of Indigenous Peoples Programme In August 2001, at the UN World Conference Against Racism, Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance in Durban, South Africa, Warren Allmand called for an end to racism against indigenous peoples On the eve of National Aboriginal Day in June 2001, at the Native Friendship Centre in Montreal, he presented Canadian indigenous leaders with a Joint Declaration of Canadian non-indigenous NGO support for the UN Draft Declaration for the rights of indigenous peoples. The Joint Declaration calls on the Canadian government to demonstrate leadership by supporting the UN Draft Declaration, which explicitly recognizes the right of self-determination, and urging other governments to do the same. This past year, the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Programme implemented 16 projects for a total of $353,928. Staff-Managed Projects Round Table on the United Nations Draft Declaration As part of the World Conference Against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance United Nations Draft Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples . Some 20 representatives of Canadian non-indigenous civil society took part in a round table which culminated in the formulation of a joint statement of support for the draft declaration. This statement was made public on June 20, National Aboriginal Day, with the aim of encouraging the government of Canada to support the rights of indigenous peoples and the draft declaration.

The report, Memoria II , comprises papers and innovative proposals that were presented at the Second International Seminar on the Administration of Justice and Indigenous Peoples, held in Guatemala in September 1998. The paper was published jointly by the World Bank, the Inter-American Institute of Human Rights, the International Labor Organization, and the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency. "The promotion of social and economic rights have been a basic consideration in the projects of the World bank,"

Reaching Indigenous Youth with Reproductive Health Information and Services February 1999 The terms "indigenous peoples," "indigenous ethnic minorities," "tribal groups," and "scheduled tribes," describe social groups with a social and cultural identity distinct from the dominant society that makes them vulnerable to being disadvantaged in the development process. World Bank, 19911 Why Focus on the Indigenous? Indigenous people are found throughout the world. The United Nations estimates that more than 300 million indigenous people live in more than 70 countries. Most indigenous groups share the demographic profile of developing countries where youth, defined as those aged 10 to 24 years, comprise the largest segment of the population. In addition, these groups tend to be poor, rural, and left out of the process of economic development. Although there are vast differences among indigenous peoples, all have a traditional culture that is distinct from the national culture of their country; some may identify with an ethnic group with ties to an historical homeland.

Human Rights and Indigenous Peoples Article 2 Note: Click on any image below for a larger JPEG image. Who are the world's indigenous peoples? Indigenous people are called "first peoples", tribal peoples, aboriginals and autochthons. They have a historical continuity with pre-invasion and pre-colonial societies that developed on their territories. They consider themselves distinct from other sectors of society now prevailing in those territorities. There are at least 5,000 indigenous groups made up of 300 million people, that live in more than 70 countries on five continents. Indigenous Peoples of Brazil: The Shavante Indians live in a remote village on the Pimentel Barbosa Reservation located on a tributary of the Amazon in Mato Grosso, Brazil. The photographs of the Shavante people are by Joseane Daher and were taken during an anthropological expedition sponsored by the American Museum of Natural History, New York).

Guatemala During the reporting period, negotiations between the Government of Guatemala and the Unidad Revolucionaria Nacional Guatemalteca (URNG) have continued under the auspices of the United Nations. While advances in the process have been uneven, the establishment of the United Nations Mission for the Verification of Human Rights and of Compliance with the Commitments of the Comprehensive Agreement on Human Rights in Guatemala (MINUGUA) and the signing of the Agreement on Identity and Rights of Indigenous Peoples are encouraging developments. Taking into account progress made during the first half of 1994 as well as Commission on Human Rights resolution 1994/58, I recommended to the General Assembly in my report of 18 August 1994 (A/48/985) the earliest establishment of a human rights verification mission in Guatemala. On 19 September 1994, by resolution 48/267, the Assembly established MINUGUA for an initial period of six months, and I appointed Mr. Leonardo Franco as the Mission's Director. MINUGUA was officially inaugurated in November 1994. With eight regional offices, five subregional offices and an authorized strength of 245 international staff, the Mission represents a significant effort by the United Nations in human rights verification and institution-building. It is also the most tangible result so far of the talks between the Government of Guatemala and URNG. After the signing of five agreements between January and June 1994, the pace of the negotiations slowed down during the last six months of the year. On 28 December 1994, I expressed my concern to the General Assembly and the Security Council and stated that the time-frame originally foreseen for the conclusion of a peace agreement would have to be revised. In addition, I wrote to the parties to ask them to renew their commitment to the process and to indicate the steps they would be prepared to take to allow it to regain momentum.

Documents menu Indigenous Peoples' Rights By Chief Abel Bosum, Ouje-Bougoumou Cree Nation, at Kennedy Library, Boston MA, 10 December 1994 We like to think of the UN as a world government that is responsible for a kind of universal sovereignty laws that transcend the jurisdictions of individual States, or perhaps, law that cannot be entrusted to the single responsibility of individual States. In fact, if we examine the history of the UN, it is obvious that it was founded to establish and enforce a higher standard of ethical and moral behavior than individual States may practice. We all know that the establishment of the UN in San Francisco directly at the end of the Second World War, was in reaction to the horrors of the Nazi regime. The founding principle of the UN is that States do not have ultimate sovereignty with regard to the basic human rights and fundamental freedoms of their inhabitants; that this ultimate sovereignty is surrendered to the world body, and that although each State retains the responsibility to uphold and enforce human rights law, all States are subject to international oversight in this regard, and if necessary, international intervention. The speeches that were made at the founding of the UN note that the need for the world to act in solidarity against Hitler's Germany was this same principle of world solidarity that was applied to the apartheid regime in South Africa, resulting in the very positive developments that have occurred there recently. Of course there was no UN when Columbus landed in the so-called

The International Indian Treaty Council and its affiliate Coordination of Mayan Peoples Organization of Guatemala, -COPMAGUA- wish to contribute some reflections to the discussion of the Draft declaration on the rights of Indigenous Peoples. This draft is the result of the consensus of hundreds of Indigenous Peoples and their organization from different parts of the world, who find themselves here at these deliberations, who once more reaffirm our commitment to the adoption of the total and integral text of the Draft Declaration approved by the Working Group on Indigenous Populations and the Sub-Commission for the Prevention of Discrimination and Protection of Minorities. The contents of the draft represents the most fundamental, albeit minimal acceptable standards for the recognition, protection and promotion of the rights of Indigenous Peoples.

HOME BACK Mayan Forestry Action Plan, PAF-MAYA Institute of Investigations and Mayan Development (IIDEMAYA) FULL REPORT (Spanish) The Mayan Forestry Action Plan is a process of consultation on forestry and agriculture with farmers and Mayan women in Guatemala. The consultations are carried out through meetings in forestry regions with leaders of diverse communities and conducted in the languages of the areas. There have been meetings covering seven language areas. In these meetings the participants analyze problems of forestry and environment from their own perspective and put forward solutions. This is possible because a team visits the communities to explain the meeting's work and processes and to ask the residents to select participants. During the meetings villages elect delegates to the National Mayan Forestry Congress where they analyze, discuss and modify or approve the plans and actions derived from the regional meetings. The results constitute the Forestry and Environment Development Plan of the Mayan People of Guatemala. Critical Issues and Priorities The general objectives which Guatemala has set are lasting peace, participatory democracy and sustained development (in terms of economic growth and distribution of growth). It is within these national objectives that we must place the following objectives for rural development :

HOME BACK Analytical Contributions Indigenous and Environmental Legislation and its Relation to Sustainable Development Introduction In the present evolving process of humanity, the need to respect the relationship between human development and a environmental sustainability is seen as the only way to assure the future of the planet, after centuries of applying a development philosophy that has been detrimental to nature. At the same time, international standards and national legislation have unfolded on diverse ecological issues, with the purpose of regulating economic activities that destroy the environment. Nonetheless, legal implementation is not, in reality, free of contradictions that hinder the effective advancement in the field of environmental protection. Considering the aforementioned reasons, the Earth Council, with the support of the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the Small Grants Program of the World Bank, held a technical consultation on Indigenous Rights, Environmental Legislation and Sustainable Development . The conference took place last June in San Jose, Costa Rica and gathered indigenous lawyers and experts from Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Panama and Peru.
