The ILO and ist work on Indigenous And Tribal peoples Chandra K.Roy International Labour Organization Introduction The International Labour Oraganization was established in 1919 just after the first World war. It is founded on the constitutional principle of "social justice" - as a means of securing universal and lasting peace. The ILO' s work is based on the premise that poverty anywhere is a danger to poverty everywhere. Since its creation, it has been working actively to improve the living and working conditions of people around the world, including indigenous and tribal peoples who are often among the most disadvantaged and impoverished groups in any country. The major tool of the ILO in its struggle to secure social justice for all are its conventions. To date the ILO Conference has adopted 181 standards on various subjects such as labour inspection, equality in employment, discrimination, freedom of association etc. The ILO has also adopted the only two international instruments which address the issue of indigenous and tribal peoples. The Indigenous and Tribal Populations Convention, 1957 (No. 107)

History Honduras Essay written by: The Republic of Honduras is a comparatively large country in Central America. Its area is at 112,088 km2, and has about 13,000,000 people in which about 60% are literate. Honduras is the 2ed largest country in Central America. Their national holiday is their Independence Day and they celebrate this on the 15th of September, although it is not the only time they gained their independence, it is the only time they celebrate. The nation also escaped from the United Provinces of Central America. The capitol of this mainly Spanish and English speaking nation is Tegucigalpa. The history of the country begins when Columbus saw the country, but he generally stayed farther north. Spain began to settle the country in 1524. The two men in charge of the colony were Davila and Orid. The country was largely unprosperous until 1536 when Gold was discovered in the city of Gracias. The discovery of gold got new settlers to come and also created more demand for miners to mine the gold. The indigenous peoples were forced into this job. One year later in 1537 an uprising occurred and it was led by Lempira, who the national currency would be later named after. His base was on a hill known as Pe»ol de Cerqu¡n and successfully defeated all efforts to subdue him until the year 1538. In 1538 other native groups began following his example and started small uprisings. Lempira was ultimately killed while negotiating with the Spaniards. The fighting was greatly weakened but continued for 3 more years.

Market women in felt hats, from the indigenous Indian communities of Cotopaxi province, come here three times a week to sell their vegetables. They struggle to make a living at the best of times, but lately the women complain they have never had it so bad. "No one has any money. If this goes on, we are all going to die of hunger," said Laura Espin, a 55-year-old Quichua Indian selling parsley and coriander for 1,000 sucres (four cents) per bunch. Last month, thousands of indigenous men and women in traditional dress many carrying small children on their backs marched 55 miles across the sierra from Latacunga to the capital, Quito, to demand political and economic reforms. The government fell and the country's Harvard-educated president, Jamil Mahuad, was ousted from office.

ANNEXES (I, II, III) ANNEX I: WORKSHOP ON INDIGENOUS PEOPLES AND HEALTH (Winnipeg, 13-18 April 1993) RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. In response to the alarming health situation confronting some Indigenous peoples of the continent, the workshop recommends that PAHO and the Member Governments take immediate action to identify the priority areas and the neediest populations, in order to then declare a state of emergency in specific areas or communities. This should lead to special and priority attention to health problems and the improvement of living conditions at the local level. It is necessary to define at the country level, in consultation with the affected populations, strategies and programs for intervention designed to address the most urgent health problems, as well as to plan medium- and long-term actions. 2. PAHO and the Ministries of Health should establish a surveillance system to track the living conditions and health status of Indigenous peoples. Specific methods and indicators, as well as epidemiological instruments, should be developed for assessing this situation continuously and systematically. Mechanisms should be established that will enable Indigenous peoples to participate in deciding the kind of information to be gathered and the use it will be given. 3. The development of health projects and programs in Indigenous communities should be based on maximum and appropriate use of local resources and on active and systematic community participation in the process of planning, execution, and evaluation of these activities. PAHO and the Member Governments should ensure that in the execution of health programs and projects in Indigenous communities direct coordination is established with these communities and with grass-roots organizations. These programs should help to strengthen the self-government and autonomy of the Indigenous peoples.

Highly developed civilizations flourished in Mexico after the domestication of corn and the rise of agricultural communities; the Olmec Toltec Mixtec Zapotec and Aztec , developed architecture, agriculture, the use of stone : and sometimes of metal : to a high, often remarkable, degree. The and the Cakchiquel flourished in Guatemala; besides these and the Chorotega, the southern tip of Central America did not produce as highly developed civilizations as the rest of Middle America. Today many of the Native Americans of Panama, Nicaragua, and Honduras, such as the San Blas, the Mosquito (see Mosquito Coast ), and the Lenca of Honduras, bear the imprint of Carib ancestry or influence. The Mexican Native Americans after the Spanish conquest in the 16th cent. retained their ancestral mode of life in some regions, but they were mostly a subjugated group until the 20th cent. Native American artisans did make notable contributions to the early development of the arts, notably in painting and architecture, but the Native Americans were mostly used as laborers under the

B ookseed is a non-profit organization whose primary purpose is to establish children's libraries with Indigenous cultures in remote village grade schools in underdeveloped countries. Our secondary purpose is to distribute new varieties of heirloom vegetable, fruit, and flower seeds to subsistence farmers. The little libraries are provided to promote literacy and education in book less places; while the seed program is meant to enhance their agrarian micro-economy. S ince 1994 some 90 community schools, comprising a dozen Indigenous cultures in Honduras, Guatemala, Chiapas Mexico, and Bolivia have received little libraries, little gardens of words. Hundred of subsistence farmers, often in the same villages, have also been given new seeds. E ach library consists of about 150 kids books, all in Spanish. Amongst these story books are also books on health and environment, a dictionary, and a set of children's encyclopedias. These are gifts from the schools, while the children all receive a pencil and some paper. The seeds on the other hand number about 40 varieties most all unavailable there, such as buttercrunch lettuce, tepiary beans, and golden cherry tomatoes.

The trial against Columbus will end Oct. 12, the Day of the Race and the 506th anniversary of Spain's ''discovery'' of the Americas. The indigenous activists are accusing Columbus of the crimes of genocide, ethnocide, trafficking in slaves, rape, and plundering. Gregoria Flores, with the Coordinating Committee of Indigenous Organisations of Intibuca (Copin), said the trial aims to ''tell the other side of the story of the so-called conquest of the Americas. ''We indigenous peoples want the truth to be known, 500 years later, of what was done to our brothers and sisters, who were mistreated and used as animals.

THE AWAS TINGNI CASE International Court Affirms that Indigenous Peoples Have Rights to their Land and Resources Have loggers, miners, ranchers, or settlers entered your community's land and taken or used your natural resources without your consent? Has the government authorized natural resource development or access to your community's land without your consent? Have you tried to have these activities stopped, but the government has not adequately responded to your complaints? Has the government failed to demarcate and title your land? If You Answered Yes to Any of These Questions, this Court Decision Could Help Your Community In the Case of the Mayagna (Sumo) Community of Awas Tingni v. Nicaragua, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights ruled in 2001 that: Indigenous Peoples have a collective property right to the lands they have traditionally used and occupied. This property right comes from the customary laws of the Indigenous Peoples themselves and exists whether or not they hold a title from the government to their lands. Governments must recognize this property right and establish mechanisms to protect and enforce the right in accordance with the traditional laws, uses, and practices of Indigenous Peoples.
