    Extractions: Ecuador: indigenous women against oil exploration The Steering Committe of Oilwatch was meeting in Quito on October 21 st A month before, almost a hundred indigenous people –mostly women and children- had begun a march from Pastaza to Quito to denounce the acts of repression that are being borne upon local communities and indigenous peoples who resist the advance of the oil industry. In this case, Tripetrol began arbitrarily oil exploration activities and carried out legal actions and threats against local community leaders. The women expressed their demand of "respect for their right to decide about their future" and that "no oil explorations is carried out in their territories". The answer was the usual one: repression. The police even called in immigration officers to check the foreigners’ papers and detained two of Oilwatch’s steering committee members who didn’t carry their passports with them. They were released soon after. Source: WRM's bulletin Nº 6, November 1997

    Extractions: HR/4600 21 May 2002 PROBLEMS OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES LIVING IN CITIES SHOULD BE ADDRESSED, PERMANENT FORUM TOLD (Reissued as received from a UN Information Officer.) NEW YORK, 17 May The Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues should discuss the situation of indigenous peoples living in urban areas, an indigenous representative told the Forum today, as it continued its review of United Nations activities relating to indigenous peoples. According to the representative from the Ainu Association of Sapporo (Japan), many Ainu had settled for economic reasons in industrial centres away from their native communities, where traditions were not handed down from the elders. A 1997 law to protect the Ainu culture mostly benefited Japanese scholars, while the Ainu culture was being ‘Japanized’, a cultural invasion that could be seen as a new form of colonization. Stuart W. Leslie (Belize), speaking on behalf of the 14 Member States of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), said the Permanent Forum should provide “critical advice” to the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC). CARICOM members were aware of the contribution to sustainable development made by indigenous peoples, and realized the need to strengthen their human and institutional capacities to allow them to better participate in decision-making.

    Extractions: Conflict whether armed or unarmed, violent or non-violent, is a daily reality of many indigenous peoples' communities. In recent decades conflicts involving indigenous peoples have become more frequent and more brutal. UNDP has been exploring the nexus between issues of vulnerability, inequality, poverty and conflict and examining development patterns, policies and strategies that are likely to worsen inequality and marginalization, and thus precipitate or exacerbate conflict. Case studies are currently under preparation that will document the contributions of civil society and indigenous peoples in conflict prevention and resolution, and provide some instructive practices of indigenous peoples in building peace. The round table will discuss the role of indigenous peoples' organizations and movements in preventing and resolving conflict. Issues will range from the root causes of conflict often linked to racial discrimination, denial of rights including civic, political, cultural, social and economic, control over resources and resource use, and social exclusion; to approaches and strategies indigenous peoples use to negotiate peace. The round table will provide a space for debate on how indigenous peoples and their organizations and multilateral agencies can work with governments to address these issues, while also providing recommendations and strategies to develop partnerships.

Newsfront UNDP Administrator sees Mozambique's recovery from floods Wednesday, 5 September 2001: Mozambique's Gaza Province, hit hard by floods that drove 233,000 people from their homes last year and suffering more flood damage this year, is rebuilding with outside assistance, UNDP Administrator Mark Malloch Brown reported following a visit to the area last week. The Administrator, accompanied by Abdoulie Janneh, UN Assistant Secretary-General and UNDP Regional Director for Africa, met with President Joaquim Chissano and other leaders during his visit on 27 - 29 August. The Administrator said that the "overwhelming impression" from his visit to Gaza "is that normal life has been restored and sensible improvements have been made." The recovery efforts have moved many villages from flood-prone areas to higher ground, rebuilt government infrastructure and improved water supply systems. Mr. Malloch Brown co-chaired the donor conference in Rome in May 2000, where donors promised over US$ 450 million to support flood recovery. Thus far, $360 million has been disbursed. The donors' response to the 2000 floods "was remarkable and showed confidence in the country," he said.

    Extractions: Homepage About PAHO Data Topics ... Search Washington, DC, August 15, 2002 (PAHO) Although the term indigenous people in the Americas is widely used, that generalization encompasses more than 400 different ethnic groups, with different beliefs and different health practices. This diversity presents a challenge for public health in the Americas, where indigenous peoples are among the most excluded. The response of the Pan American Health Organization is its Health of Indigenous Peoples Initiative, started in 1993, which signifies a commitment by PAHO and its Member States to work with indigenous peoples to improve their health and well being. It is also a recognition of the value and need to conserve indigenous cultural heritage and knowledge. Photos Click here Serious health and social problems still exist for the estimated forty-three million indigenous peoples living in the Americas. Recent studies have indicated that these peoples are among the most poor and disadvantaged, and each of the more than 400 ethnic groups "has its own beliefs and practices with regard to health, as well as their own community resources for health promotion, disease prevention or cure of common ills," explains Dr. Sandra Land, PAHO's regional adviser in local health services. The initiative for health of indigenous peoples was launched due to the inequalities that existed in health status and in access to basic services between those communities and other social groups. Indigenous communities have higher rates of avoidable mortality and morbidity and lower life expectancy at birth, and many of them do not have regular access to essential health care due to economic, geographical, or cultural barriers.

    Extractions: March, 2003 Colombia is sinking into an abyss of violence that grows more frightful each day. This paper examines the impact of the 38-year-old conflict on the nation's indigenous people, who constitute about 2% of the country's total population of roughly 44 million, form 84 distinct communities ( pueblos ), and speak 64 different languages. Civil wars always seem to involve horror in many forms, but one particularly terrible feature of this one is the high proportion of civilians who are killed, coercively displaced, or forced to endure constant threats to self, family and livelihood. Ostensibly a struggle of the Colombian state against an insurrection of guerrillas who want to topple the government and replace it with a Marxist-oriented one, the conflict is far more complex. The pueblos are disproportionately subjected to the violence because 1) most communities are rural, and up until now this has been a mainly rural insurgency;

    PROTEST IN ecuador ESCALATES indigenous peoples AND CITIZENS GROUPSCALL FOR REPEAL OF IMF-IMPOSED STRUCTURAL ADJUSTMENT POLICIES.  
    http://www.infoshop.org/news6/ecuador1.html
    
    Extractions: AND HUNDREDS ARRESTED Indigenous peoples in Ecuador have been mobilizing over the past month to demand the repeal of new IMF-backed economic measures announced by the Ecuadoran government in late December as part of an ongoing structural adjustment program. The measures involve the removal of subsidies on cooking fuel and gasoline, causing the former to double in price and the latter to increase by 25%, and a 75% increase in transportation costs. The IMF's insistence on the application of these measures as well as a 3% increase in the value-added tax which is still pending has put access to dignified living conditions even further beyond the reach of large segments of the Ecuadoran population. The escalating protests in recent days are not only in response to these economic measures but to the overall structural adjustment program that has intensified with Ecuador's conversion to the US dollar last year. Beginning on 21 January, indigenous groups led by CONAIE (Confederation of Indigenous Nations of Ecuador) organized marches and blockaded roads in the countryside and cities in half of the country's 22 provinces. Farmworkers, students and others also joined in supporting these protests. The government sent military forces to disperse many of these peaceful demonstrations with force, using teargas and weapons, that resulted in several indigenous people injured, some by bullets, and several hundred arrested.

    Extractions: January 18, 2000 International Press Release from the Confederation of Indigenous Peoples of Ecuador (CONAIE) Quito - January 16th 2000 The National Parliament of the Peoples of Ecuador, democratically constituted with the participation of 21 Provincial parliaments and innumerable community, county and neighbourhood parliaments, has directly assumed the control of national sovereignty in order to save the Republic of Ecuador from the process of national dissolution started by the decision of Jamil Mahuad to renounce monetary sovereignty by announcing the substition of the sucre, our historical form of currency, for the (American) dollar. The decision to dollarize the economy is the latest attack against the peoples economy and the country's system of production executed by Mahuad with the sinister intent to protect a corrupt "bankocracy" and to transform Ecuador into an enclave for financial speculation and money- laundering. The dollarization implies the destruction of the system of production, the bankrupcy of industry and the loss of hundreds of thousands of jobs, and increasing expropriation of the tiny parcels of land that belong to the indigenous and rural people of the country.

Internet links The general situation Ecuador is Latin America's sixth biggest oil producer and the fourth biggest exporter. The country produces about two million tonnes of crude oil a year, 60% of which is exported. The state-owned Petroecuador is the biggest producer, which directly or indirectly accounts for 80 per cent of oil production. Foreign companies, among others, Amoco, Atlantic Richfield Company (Arco), Elf Aquitaine, Maxus, Occidental, Oryx, Petrobas, Shell and YPF of Argentina are active in the country. Ecuador's biggest oil fields are in the east of the country in the Amazon rainforests. Petroecuador has announced plans to increase the country's annual oil production to over three million tonnes by the year 2002 and after that to 3.5 million tonnes a year. The present situation A class lawsuit filed in a New York court by the Ecuadorian indigenous peoples against Texaco has caught international attention. They are demanding 1.5 billion dollars from Texaco for its environmental destruction. Texaco claims that the case does not concern the parent company because the subsidiary Texaco Ecuador and since 1992 Petroecuador have been responsible for the activities. The case is also considered a guiding legal case that might once again define the responsibilities of parent companies over action taken by their subsidiaries.
