Extractions: Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues HR/4599 First Session 21 May 2002 th and 14 th Proscription of Traditional Languages, Representatives of indigenous peoples from around the world voiced particular and collective grievances in morning and afternoon meetings today, as the Permanent Forum for Indigenous Issues continued its historic first session with an open debate on human rights issues. From Alaska to Baja California to the San Andreas Islands of Colombia, from the Saami region of Scandinavia to Siberia to the Maluccas of Indonesia, and from across Africa and Australia, such representatives spoke of abuses ranging from proscription of traditional languages to usurpation of lands to genocide, while suggesting means for the new Forum to promote their common rights in a draft Declaration and throughout the United Nations system. Representatives of some United Nations Member States were also present to listen and contribute their perspectives. A common theme that ran through the discussion today was that general notions of human rights, as well as existing human rights instruments, could serve as a framework for indigenous rights.

Chief Manuel said the proposed FTAA will escalate the Aboriginal communities struggles against destructive development practices up to the international level. He said that Aboriginal peoples have Constitutional protection of their rights and recognition of title in the Supreme Court of Canada Delgamukw decision, and will not allow their rights and title to be superceded by a trade agreement. He said that FTAA negotiations must be stopped and the heads of state must deal with Indigenous peoples rights first. He said that Aboriginal peoples must give their informed consent before development practices are carried out on their territories are carried out.

Extractions: La falta de reconocimiento de los Pueblos Indígenas como Pueblos es una forma de discriminación racial que nos afecta profundamente como jóvenes indígenas. Por lo tanto exigimos el reconocimiento de parte de los Estados la existencia de los Pueblos Indígenas como Pueblos teniendo en cuenta los artículos 1 de los Pactos de Derechos Civiles y Políticos y de Derechos Económicos Sociales y Culturales. Además es una realidad que los Estados, espacios de concertación y de la sociedad civil ofrecen muy poca participación de la juventud indígena. De igual forma las Conferencias u Encuentros Internacionales dan poca y en muchas ocasiones ninguna participación a los mismos. Deseamos expresar nuestra solicitud de tomar en cuenta a la hora de consultar y participar de encuentros nacionales e internacionales a los sectores vulnerables de las sociedades de América, dando énfasis a los jóvenes indígenas que es uno de los sectores mas marginados de las sociedades.
Carta De La Comisión Nacional Indígena De Chile Al BID National Commission of indigenous peoples of chile 1). The indigenous peoplesof chile represent approximately 10 percent of the national population. http://members.aol.com/mapulink2/english-2/letter-13.html
Extractions: FAX: 001-202-623.30.96 Santiago, 3th February 2001 Dear Sir, We the undersigned, the steering committee of the National Interim Commission for Self-Determination of the Indigenous Peoples of Chile and for Ratification of Convention 169 of the ILO (International Labour Organisation), have learned, by way of the press, that the Chilean government, via the Ministry of Planning, will request a loan or credit facility from the institution of which you are Director. This will be, among other things, to "promote the development of the 'ethnic groups' of Chile" and to "allocate funding to regions with a Mapuche population". With regard to these proposals we would like to draw your attention to the following: 1). The indigenous peoples of Chile represent approximately 10 percent of the national population. The main problem such peoples ('ethnics' in the language of the Chilean government), are currently facing is a general policy of discrimination and denial of rights which threatens the dignity of indigenous peoples. It is a policy which denies and distorts the history of Chile, which denies and restricts human rights and fundamental freedoms, and prevents participation on terms of equality and the construction of a lasting democracy. 2). In Chile, at the present time, there is no respect for, in particular, our rights to recuperate, own, control, administrate and develop our lands and the natural and spiritual resources therein. At the same time we are also denied our right to maintain, recreate, project and transmit our cultural heritage to the future generations of our people.

Extractions: Statement by Ambassador Cristián Maquieira, Deputy Permanent Representative of Chile to the United Nations New York, October 17, 2002 Mr. Chairman, I should like first of all to thank the Secretary-General for the comprehensive report presented to us in document A/57/395, which updates us on recent developments in the programme of activities of the International Decade of the World's Indigenous People. Mr. Chairman, Chile has participated actively in the early stages and in the evolution of this topic both in the Sub-Commission on the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights and in the United Nations Commission on Human Rights, as well as its inclusion in the series of global conferences, particularly the World Conference Against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Forms of Intolerance, through political declarations and plans of action in which the indigenous issue has been taken up as an aspect of integral development. The task ahead is to translate this political commitment of the international community into concrete action. To this end, Chile has used the forums available in the international system for the benefit of indigenous peoples. This has contributed to the strengthening of public institutions in this field, to better protection for the rights of our indigenous communities and to the improvement of their living conditions.

Extractions: NEWS RELEASE "Such a right is set out in the International Covenants on Civil and Political Rights, and on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, ratified by Canada and more than100 countries and is contained in the Draft Declaration on Indigenous Peoples," said Warren Allmand, President of Rights & Democracy. "We support the indigenous groups work towards recognition of their true status as peoples and urge governments attending the conference to be mindful of this historical fact as they promise steps to eradicate racism." "This conference repeats patterns of discrimination and racism, thats why we are leaving," spokespeople for the indigenous groups said. Mr. Allmand said he agreed with the move because many groups in society refuse to allow indigenous people to speak out and to be part of the process, because of societys racist attitudes. Mr. Allmand also echoed the indigenous groups call on the UN to adopt the Draft Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples a document which explicitly recognizes the status of aboriginals as peoples and thus their right to self-determination. "Legally, these treaties do not necessarily mean state independence. Their spirit is rather that all peoples on earth are entitled to equitable treatment and respect for their cultures and identities." He said that he will be advocating this position when he attends the World Conference on Racism next year in Durban.

Extractions: After centuries of existence at the margins of society, Latin America's indigenous peoples are now entering their countries' economic and political mainstream. The population of indigenous peoples is increasing, and the territory they occupy is expanding. They are becoming full-fledged players in their nations' economies, and in some cases, the international economy. Their languages and cultures are not only surviving, but are becoming newly invigorated. Many countries have made constitutional, legal and institutional reforms that are reshaping the traditional relationship between indigenous communities and the nation state. The constitutions of Bolivia, Ecuador, Mexico and Paraguay, for example, now recognize the multicultural character of states and the existence within them of indigenous peoples as unique entities with specific rights and distinct cultures and languages. In a number of countries, governments are granting indigenous communities the authority to manage their own affairs as well as the natural resources of the areas in which they live. In addition, national institutions charged with managing relations between the government and indigenous communities are being upgraded in rank in Bolivia, Ecuador and Perú, converted into financial support agencies in Guatemala and Chile, or given juridical functions to promote indigenous rights, as in Mexico.
