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.

Extractions: 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 :

Extractions: 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.

Extractions: ESPANOL Twenty-one years ago, Indigenous leaders and other experts went to Rotterdam to accuse their governments of racism, ethnocide and genocide. In November, 1980, they presented their cases to an international jury at the IV Russell Tribunal on the Rights of the Indians of the Americas. The Tribunal asserted its moral right "to demand that governments and international organizations comply with the accepted norms relating to human rights in general as well as to the specific rights of the Native Peoples of the Americas." It is widely accepted that the Universal Declaration of Human Rights must be considered as a common standard of achievement for all peoples and all nations. However, Indigenous peoples are not recognized as peoples. Their sovereign nations have never been invited to sit alongside the other nation states of the world in international decision making bodies.

http://www.dialoguebetweennations.com/dbnetwork/english/kenneth_editorial.htm

Extractions: The Summit of the Americas was the perfect opportunity to correct all the wrongs that it perpetuates against the Indigenous Peoples of the Americas but it failed to do so. All 34 states that attended the Summit are on Indigenous land, and all of them have acquired wealth from the resources of that land. But Indigenous Peoples were left on the outside looking in and our demands to be recognized as peoples was pushed aside. We had great hopes of change with the remarks made by Prime Minister Jean Chretien when he mentioned Indigenous Peoples twice in his opening statement to the heads of state of 33 other countries. The resulting Quebec Declaration brought our hopes crashing down. The Summit of the Americas Declaration and Action Plan, which is the document expressing the consensus of the governments, says that the term Indigenous Peoples "in this document cannot be construed as having any implications as to the rights that attach to the term under international law." This means that governments do not agree to recognize our right to self determination and other rights that flow from that right. Our hopes were also raised by meetings in Washington with the Organization of American States (OAS) just two weeks before the Summit, where the very same governments agreed that the term "Indigenous Peoples" could be accepted. But somehow, that agreement was not transmitted to the drafters of the Quebec Summit.

Extractions: A year after the publication of the historic human rights report by Guatemala's Commission of Historical Clarification, Amnesty International has launched a renewed call for justice to be done, and for those responsible for the gross human rights violations in Guatemala, including genocide, be held accountable for their crimes whether in the country or elsewhere. The CEH report was welcomed by Amnesty International when it was published on 25 February last year as "a step along the long road to justice for the victims of the past gross abuses". The human rights organization called on Guatemalan government, the institutions cited in the report and the international community to study the recommendations of the Commission and begin to implement them as a matter of utmost priority. This it said was the debt owed to both the living and the dead in Guatemala.

On July 10, the first publication in the series Cuadernos IIDH-OPEG was presented to the Guatemalan public, prepared under the integrated program as "a contribution to the peace in Guatemala." The first, written by Manuel R. Villacorta , a Guatemalan expert in political and electoral affairs, will be followed by others prepared by specialized study groups that have been set up by former participants of the IIHR's permanent courses. They will deal with some of the problems facing Guatemala today, such as criminality and citizen security, freedom of expression, cultural and inter-ethnic diversity, disability and the thorny problem of "what to do with the past." These publications are open to contributions from Guatemalans interested in presenting human rights doctrine and how it relates to the challenges posed by the peace process.

Government policy in Guatemala shows little commitment to improve the political, economic and social situation of indigenous people in a structured and substantial fashion. Ecuador According to the constitutional reform of 1998, indigenous rights are recognized. Massive violations of indigenous and human rights are not documented. Because of the deep economical and political crisis of the country a general uncertainty of law prevails which, more often than not, favours the economically powerful. The indigenous organisations in the country are among the strongest in Latin America and can readily be mobilized. Bolivia In Bolivia, much has been achieved regarding the formal and juridical ratification of human and indigenous rights. Under the present government the factual implementation of these rights appears to stagnate. To what extent the rule of law is realized could not be approximated.

http://nativeamericas.aip.cornell.edu/win98/win98lw.html

Extractions: By Simon Ortiz The true and first knowledge of this hemisphere-that is, the North, Central and South American continental lands of the western hemisphere-is indigenous cultural knowledge. By indigenous I mean Native people and their cultures and communities. Or Indian people, as we sometimes say in the United States. And, of course, we mean our Native people, our Native land, our Native communities and our cultures, all of that which comprises what we know to be our way of life. Our indigenous literatures derive from our way of life. Our oral knowledge derives from, our indigenous lands, cultures and communities. Our oral tradition derives from all of our Native people who live throughout the indigenous Americas. I don't mean just any certain group of people, I mean all those Native people who live in all the Indigenous Americas. I mean, therefore, all of our Native or indigenous peoples. This conference of the indigenous literatures of the Americas is an affirmation of ourselves. I'm very happy to say this, and I have to repeat it firmly, loudly and joyously: this conference of our indigenous literatures is an affirmation of ourselves. It is an affirmation of ourselves as cultural entities and groups of our people wherever we live, whether in Alaska, Guatemala Panama, Mexico, California, New York, Oklahoma or Arizona where I live. This conference is nothing less than an affirmation of all of ourselves as indigenous peoples of the Americas. We must realize and accept this conference for what it is and what we want it to be: an affirmation and expression of our community of people with cultural knowledge of ourselves and our lands, including traditional and contemporary concepts of ourselves and our lands. This First Congress of Indigenous Literature-along with the people who organized it and work with it, whether they be scholars, writers, poets, storytellers, cultural workers, teachers and administrators-is a very important act for and by our indigenous people. It is an absolutely significant and committed act for us to take about this, there is no doubt.
