Recent Developments In The ILO Concerning Indigenous And Tribal Peoples - Intern
and Rights of indigenous peoples , envisages a number of measures for the specialprotection of, and assistance to, the indigenous peoples of guatemala.
http://www.ilo.org/public/english/standards/norm/whatare/stndards/ind_tech.htm

Extractions: The ILO is responsible for two international Conventions concerning indigenous and tribal peoples. They are Convention No. 107 of 1957 concerning Indigenous and Tribal Populations , and Convention No. 169 of 1989 concerning Indigenous and Tribal Peoples . Although Convention No. 107 contains a strong protective element, it was revised because its provisions are now considered outdated because of its rather integrationist approach. However, it remains in force for 20 countries, and is often the only element of international protection available. Convention No. 169, which revised Convention No. 107, has been ratified by 13 countries: Bolivia, Colombia, Costa Rica, Denmark, Ecuador, Fiji, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Norway, Netherlands, Paraguay and Peru. Ratification of this Convention is currently under active consideration in a number of other countries. Technical assistance The practical influence of the ILO Conventions, and in particular Convention No. 169, goes well beyond the number of ratifications. The ILO is heavily involved in technical assistance. To facilitate these efforts within the UN system, inter-agency meetings are held to coordinate technical work among the concerned UN-system organizations and relevant donors. These meetings, held regularly since 1991 and arranged alternatively by the Centre for Human Rights and the ILO, have strengthened inter-agency understanding and cooperation of the different programmes affecting indigenous and tribal peoples.

Extractions: AND PEOPLES IN THE AMERICAS INTRODUCTION To date, the rights of indigenous persons and peoples have not been specifically regulated in the basic instruments that govern the inter-American human rights system. In effect, neither the American Declaration on the Rights and Duties of Man nor the American Convention on Human Rights and its additional protocols or other inter-American human rights treaties contain provisions that develop indigenous rights. Indeed it is unusualindeed inexplicableto note that the only international instruments (treaties) on indigenous rights that exist have been codified not by the international human rights organs, but specifically by the International Labor Organization (ILO). There are two relevant conventions: Convention 107 and Convention 169. Convention 107 concerning the Protection and Integration of Indigenous and Tribal Populations and other Tribal and Semi-tribal Populations in Independent Countries (1957); and Convention 169 on Indigenous and Tribal Peoples in Independent Countries (1989). Convention 169 is a revision of Convention 107, with a much more progressive approach to the indigenous peoples, in which the value of that which is properly indigenous is accorded priority, setting forth provisions on the elimination of discrimination; respect for the culture and institutions of the indigenous peoples, including their forms of government and customary law, with special attention to the provisions of criminal law; indigenous territories and lands; and form of social investment in indigenous populations, work, health, education, and culture.

http://www.unesco.org/danida/guatemal.htm

Extractions: With more than 11 million inhabitants, Guatemala is the most highly populated country in Central America. Situated in the heart of the Maya world more than 50% of the population is indigenous. After 36 years of armed conflict, a process of national reconciliation was initiated in 1990-91 and in December 1996 the Final Peace Agreement was signed. The Peace Agreements call for the implementation of human rights and the rights of indigenous peoples, strengthening of civil society as well as reform of the educational system among others, thus supporting the democratization process of Guatemala. In March 1997 the UNESCO/DANIDA Project on Human Rights and Indigenous Peoples in Guatemala was initiated with a view to strengthen the participation of indigenous peoples in the transition from a state of civil war to representative democracy. Summary Launched in March 1997, this project aims at contributing to the implementation of the Peace Agreements by creating human rights awareness and strengthening the capacity of local indigenous leaders in their work. It focuses on local human resources as a means of supporting the current democratization process and it provides participants with tools to facilitate dialogue and to reinforce participation specifically at a local level.

World Bank, 19911 Why Focus on the Indigenous? Indigenous people are found throughout the world. The United Nations estimates that more than 300 million indigenous people live in more than 70 countries. Most indigenous groups share the demographic profile of developing countries where youth, defined as those aged 10 to 24 years, comprise the largest segment of the population. In addition, these groups tend to be poor, rural, and left out of the process of economic development. Although there are vast differences among indigenous peoples, all have a traditional culture that is distinct from the national culture of their country; some may identify with an ethnic group with ties to an historical homeland.

Extractions: Indigenous Women Are Being Marginalized at the Beijing Conference by Rosa Rojas "It's a fact that the immense majority of the organizations that planned the Beijing World Congress (on Women) have marginalized indigenous women," claimed the Nobel Peace Prize laureate Rigoberta Menchu, who estimated that because of this, "indigenous women will not be taken into account in the women's agenda." In an interview with La Jornada, she warned that she will participate "with reservations" at the invitation of the UNESCO Director Federico Mayor in an event during which, in the company of some First Ladies and other personalities, a call will be made today (Monday, September 4) for a full and decentralized education for women at this end of the millennium. Nevertheless, she underlined, "I don't represent anyone...I don't think that because of my participation, indigenous women have participated" or been given a "worthy place" in the preparatory meetings for Beijing. She refered to the fact that she, like other indigenous women, exhorted that this situation be corrected, especially at the Mar de Plata Conference of 1994, when "I made a call, a petition, and thought that it was understood I didn't want to participate in the Mar de la Plata meeting because I thought the absence of indigenous women could not be justified just because Rigoberta Menchu participated and gave a message."

Photo: Kenji Nakano, IMADR Guatemala sees yet another raid on human rights office (09-08) GUATEMALA CITY (AP) Workers at an independent human rights group arrived at work on Monday to discover that their office had been searched and robbed the sort of attack that several other rights groups have suffered in recent months. Miguel Angel Albizures, director of the Alliance Against Impunity, told reporters that staff members of a group that supports victims of Guatemala's civil war found a door left open, files disordered and a portable computer with information on a 1982 massacre missing. "It continues the pattern of other break-ins at the offices of human rights organizations," he said. The most notorious recent break-in occurred two weeks ago at the office of the government's own human rights prosecutor. The office of President Alfonso Portillo said after that incident that police suspected human rights workers were involved. Police said Monday that they were investigating the latest break-in at the office of the Association of Relatives of Detained and Disappeared of Guatemala, which has promoted investigations into military massacres and other excesses of the 36-year civil war that ended in 1996.

Extractions: Falls Church, Virginia Abstract 1. Introduction In his famous dissenting opinion in Olmstead v. U.S., 277 U.S. 438 (1928) , Justice Louis Brandeis called the right to be let alone "the most comprehensive of rights and the right most cherished by civilized men." Justice Brandeis's ruling could just as easily apply to the right of indigenous peoples to be let alone from intrusive central government "development" and surveillance programs. The increasing use of satellites to survey lands and oceans for natural resources comes at the expense of many indigenous peoples to freely conduct various activities on their ancestral lands. Many indigenous tribes maintain a certain kinship with the territory upon which they live. This kinship runs deep and in some cases has an important religious significance for the people concerned. 2. Geographic Information Systems (GISs) and Indigenous Lands Indian leaders contend that those who operate GISs must be sensitive to the traditions surrounding their lands. Many Indian tribes feel that certain data must remain private and not be released to the general public. Data security and privacy controls therefore become problematic. Tribal officials such as the Colville Confederacy leadership feel that certain data cannot be treated as regular data. Information on hunting and gathering areas has a spiritual significance for the Indians that is perhaps unappreciated by statisticians in cold, gray and distant computer rooms (Marchand and Winchell, 1994, 51).
