Extractions: Asia-Pacific Civil Society Statement of Withdrawal from the Extractive Industries Review Process Bali International Convention Centre, Bali, Indonesia, April 27, 2003 We, civil society participants who went through the self-selection process in the Asia-Pacific Extractive Industries Review, have played an active role in the Extractive Industries Review (EIR) consultation process concerning World Bank policy regarding extractive industries. Evidence of this is our sustained input to the EIR Eminent Person Dr. Emil Salim throughout this process, including papers and testimonies given directly to the EIR Eminent person, based on extensive documentation showing the failure of the Bank to achieve its stated goals of poverty allevation and sustainable development. As the World Bank's own leaked internal Operations Evaluation Department (OED) draft audit of January 21, 2003 shows, closely associated with extractive industries are "long-term environmental damage with accompanying health consequences, the destruction of traditional (and more sustainable) economic foundations of local communities, involuntary displacements and property takings, economic dependence on such revenues and increased economic volatility, increased corruption, violence, and civil war." Unfortunately, neither the World Bank Group nor the proceedings of the Extractive Industries Review to date have provided any evidence that Bank support for the extractive sector has promoted the Bank's mandate of poverty reduction. In fact, a wide range of evidence including that contained in the OED draft audit report indicates that the World Bank should pull-out of oil, gas and mining since World Bank support for this sector has not reduced poverty.

Extractions: Williamsburg, VA, USA The five-yearly congress of the International Union of Anthropological and Ethnological Sciences (IUAES), which took place during the last week of July 1998 in Williamsburg, Virginia, bore an immoderate title: 'The 21' Century: The Century of Anthropology'. It was not this surprising expression of complacency but the economic crisis in East and Southeast Asia, in combination with the high fees which probably depressed attendance in comparison with earlier events. Nonetheless, no less than eleven hundred social scientists from all parts of the world converged on the campus of the College of William and Mary to attend discussions and seminars spanning the breadth of anthropological interest. Surprisingly, a full ten percent of the panels was organized by scholars from India, far more than was initiated by any other country delegation from Asia, Africa or Latin America. Indeed, the sizable Indian delegation formed a conspicuous element in the congress. In accordance with the tradition of devoting attention to the locality, the commission's sessions in Williamsburg highlighted the situation of native Americans in the United States and in Canada. The themes were of a general nature, however, and paper presentations dealt with a range of places and topics. Asia was represented through papers on India, Indonesia, Nepal and the Central Asian states.

Extractions: Volume 13, Issue 4 / January-March 2002 UNITED NATIONS - Among the outcomes of the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro was an unprecedented coming together of civil society from all sectors on a global scale. Some 30,000 representatives of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) concerned with a wide range of issues gathered in Rio, making the Summit among the most dynamic and colorful meetings of the decade. At the time, many believed the engagement of so many NGOs with the issues, with each other, and with governments meeting there represented a great new impulse in the pursuit of sustainable development. If organizers of the upcoming World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) have their way, one of the main outcomes will be a deepening and formalizing of the burgeoning partnerships between governments and civil society in pursuing the goals of poverty eradication, promoting sustainable consumption and production, and protecting the integrity of the earth's ecosystems - which are the main themes of the conference, scheduled for 26 August - 4 September 2002 in Johannesburg, South Africa. Some 65,000 people, representing governments, NGOs, businesses, and other "major groups," are expected to participate in the WSSD. And creating a stronger, more effective, and more detailed partnership between them is a major agenda item.

Origin Of Balinese People africa to modern New Zealand as Maori people. In Indonesia and bali, they evolved to what interestingly assume them selves as indigenous people of Indonesia http://www.balilife.com/inhabitant/peopleor.html
Extractions: Origin Back In the Mist of Time, a Long Journey from Yangtze Valley in China There are many sources of information of Balinese people origin. They are Balinese and Javanese texts and scriptures, Indian literature, and archaeological as well as linguistic findings. Following is a description based on the mixture of the sources mentioned above. Long time ago, around ten thousands of years ago, developed a civilization on the banks of Yangtze river in Yunnan area in southern China. This civilization already posses technology on farming. The technology includes wet and dry rice cultivation. For some reasons some of these people began to move to the south. Recent archaeological discovery, together with the result of linguistic study, uncover that these people migrated first to what now known as Taiwan. From there they moved to Luzon of the Philippines. Some five thousands of years ago they continued the journey to Borneo and to other places, part of them is what we call now as Indonesian archipelago, including Bali. In the new land they implemented the technology they brought, such as wet rice cultivation and bronze technology. But also important is that they continue to embrace their ancient culture of ancestor and nature worship. This custom still widely practiced, even today, in many part of Asia. Bali is among the places where it is people hold this custom strongly until now.

But we should not only question the legitimacy of the foreign debt of indebted countries in the South. We should also recognize what the North owes the South after centuries of colonialism, slavery and exploitation of natural resources, as well as the resulting ecological debt - a debt that accumulated over the centuries and continues to do so at an ever-accelerating speed."

See the post-WSSD commentary by Victor Menotti, director of IFG'S Environment Program. On August 26th to September 4th, 2002, the United Nations (UN) World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD)met in Johannesburg, South Africa. This ten-year retrospective of the 1992 Rio +10 summit was designed to "seek consensus on the general assessment of current conditions, and on priorities for further action in new areas or issues." UN planning sessions for the summit made it clear that the WSSD was not addressing in any substantial way the number one threat to the survival of the natural world - economic globalization. A decade after the Rio Earth Summit there is nearly unanimous agreement among participating countries and organizations that the outcome has been a failure. The Rio processes have not achieved any of their goals, and some of the most notable undertakings, as in the area of climate change, have been profoundly disappointing. Bureaucracies such as the World Trade Organization (WTO), the World Bank, and the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and agreements such as the proposed Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA), are the driving engines for the global economy. They are increasingly making the work of the Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEAs), including the products of Rio, irrelevant and subordinate to global trade and investment rules.

Extractions: PREPCOM4 FOR THE WSSD, A DISAPPOINTMENT For the first time in possibly three decades, Australia as a delegation was welcomed back to the ICMICA world-wide movement during their Asia-Pacific Advocacy Workshop, organised to coincide with the fourth and final session of the Preparatory Committee (PrepCom 4) meeting of WSSD from 27 May to 7 June 2002, in Bali, Indonesia. The ACMICA delegation, which included Minh Nguyen, Rachel Galea and Bill Neville, made significant contribution towards this meeting and its outcome, and had undoubtedly brought Australia closer to full membership in the ICMICA community. The Workshop was attended by over seventy delegates from eleven country members of ICMICA. Some of the issues raised included climate change, corporate accountability, and indigenous peoples' land rights and self-determination. ACMICA's intervention at the Workshop pointed to the state of sustainable development in Australia, and criticised in particular the Australian Government's market fanaticism and lack of real commitment to the greenhouse and corporate accountability questions.

Extractions: Working Conditions The dependence on tourism to generate income creates fertile ground for the exploitation of labour throughout the world. Children and women are particular victims. Around the world, 13 to 19 million young people work in a profession tied to tourism. Children work as barmen, "fast food" employees, domestics, cooks' assistants, gardeners, laundry workers, informal tour guides, shellfish divers, roving beach vendors and souvenir makers. Exploitation of workers is a global problem. Cruise ships, with no geographical boundaries, are also part of the problem. One of the many reports we have received of poor working conditions within the tourism industry is of trekking porters. Porters carry the supplies for tourists in trekking destinations such as Nepal, Tanzania and Peru. Although, in opposite regions of the world, porters in these countries are working under similar appalling conditions - back-breaking loads, long hours and sometimes even death - all in a day's work for porters.

Extractions: 4. From Bali to Johannesburg For two weeks in June representatives met for PrepCom 4, the final official round of negotiations before the World Summit in Johannesburg. The aim of the preparatory process before the summit is for the major groups involved to debate and arrive at substantial agreement on the outcomes of the summit. At a briefing on the WSSD process on Tuesday morning, 18 June 2002, WSSD Secretary General, Nitin Desai, said that the text of the Draft Plan of Implementation for the WSSD as it was on 7 June will go forward to Johannesburg with no changes. Delegates will have to present any work done in between once the WSSD begins in August. Most of the 27 per cent of the text that is unresolved is in the chapters on globalisation and means of implementation, and deals mainly with trade and finance. Most commentators agree that the challenge for Johannesburg will be finding common ground, rather than time, to resolve these issues, with some arguing that failure to agree on these issues will undermine the ability to implement agreements in many other areas
