The annual application deadline is in December. Indigenous Peoples Policy at the World Bank The World Bank has begun consultations on a draft "Indigenous Peoples Approach Paper." When finalized, the Approach Paper will then be followed by rewriting the Bank's Indigenous Peoples Policy OD 4.20. The Approach Paper was drafted by a Working Group made up of 15 different departments within the Bank. The Approach Paper discusses areas of policy agreement and areas that require further consideration, including: the role of social assessment in identifying indigenous groups in Bank projects; the links between protection of cultural heritage of indigenous people and the Bank's program and policy in this area; and recommended processes for dealing with controversial Operational Directive aspects (such as identifying and defining people; ways of distinguishing between 'do no harm' and 'do good', and a process for external and internal consultation).

Extractions: 1. Indigenous Peoples and Biodiversity When overlaying maps of ecosystems and concentrations of biodiversity with maps of the traditional territories of Indigenous Peoples or ethno-linguistic groups, it becomes apparent that the zones with the greatest biodiversity worldwide coincide with Indigenous Peoples' traditional territories. This is evidence that approaches to the conservation and sustainable use of the environment have to be developed in collaboration with Indigenous Peoples. The Interior Alliance has therefore devised a scheme for the involvement of Indigenous Peoples in land use planning of their traditional territories. Ecosystem-based studies of traditional and current land use have been conducted by certain groups but they need to be more comprehensive. The next step is implementation of the findings which ideally would lead to the comanagement of the land as prescribed by the Supreme Court of Canada. The following legal analysis will show that present Canadian policies regarding Indigenous land rights violate not only the Canadian constitution but also international law, like the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD).

Indigenous Peoples, including the Maasai, Samburu, Turkana and Somali, make up a significant part of the population. In Kenya, as in the rest of Africa, Indigenous Peoples distinguish themselves not based on their ancestry but on their present-day position as Peoples who maintain traditional pastoral and nomadic cultures and who, as a result, are socially and economically marginalized. Control over land is also a contentious issue within Indigenous communities. Indigenous women in pastoralist communities traditionally have no rights to property and, as a result, are more vulnerable to poverty and gender-based violence. In Kenya overall, only five percent of land is owned by women and eighty percent of women-headed families live in poverty.

We often heard about people being arrested or just disappearing. So when they came here wearing their guns, we just kept our mouths shut. Indigenous Malay and Sakai communities have had vast areas of constitutionally protected customary land seized for Arara Abadi's pulp plantations, without due process and under intimidation by state actors. These seizures, although viewed by company representatives as the legal exercise of the rights granted to them by the state, were in violation of both international standards and constitutional provisions for indigenous property rights. Furthermore, the issuance of Arara Abadi's concession is based on a flawed interpretation of "unowned land" that unlawfully permitted the designation of indigenous land as "state forest." This fundamental problem of indigenous lands that have been inappropriately classified as "state forest" is one that must be addressed in order to stem the rising tide of violence around forest operations as well as to bring security to this economically important industry. Indigenous Property Rights and International Law Governments are entitled to confiscate land for public purposes, if done according to law, with public participation, due process and adequate compensation. Indonesia's designation of huge tracts of land as unowned and the subsequent transfer of land to business interests ignored pre-existing indigenous rights specifically recognized by the Constitution. Article 18 of the 1945 Constitution states: "The State of the Republic of Indonesia respect the status of self-governing villages (
