64. Globalization And Indigenous Peoples important lesson I ever learned about political economics I received from a fellowbeliever of Toba ethnicity – an indigenous people in northern argentina. http://www.mcc.org/globalizationconsultations/latin_america/acosta_english.html

Globalization and indigenous peoples by Luis Acosta It is certainly a challenge for those of us who will be presenting in the next few days to expound so complex a theme in so few minutes. But they just informed me that instead of the 10 minutes I thought I had, I can have 15. This brief incident transformed the way I saw and understood economic reality. It is from this new standpoint of seeing and thinking that I would like to share these thoughts with you. I am neither economist nor politician. My approach to the theme is essentially from a theological perspective. For this reason, I would like to base my reflections on a Biblical passage: the letter to the Romans, chapter 12, verses 1-3. In the New International Version, this is what it says: "Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God – this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is – his good, pleasing and perfect will. For by the grace given me, I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you."

Their communities are concrete examples of sustainable societies, historically evolved in diverse ecosystems. Today, they face the challenges of extinction or survival and renewal in a globalized world. The impact of globalization is strongest on these populations perhaps more than any other because these communities have no voice and are therefore easily swept aside by the invisible hand of the market and its proponents. Globalization is not merely a question of marginalization for indigenous peoples it is a multi-pronged attack on the very foundation of their existence and livelihoods, for example: Indigenous people throughout the world sit on the "frontlines" of globalization's expansion; they occupy the last pristine places on earth, where resources are still abundant: forests, minerals, water, and genetic diversity. All are ferociously sought by global corporations, trying to push traditional societies off their lands. New advances in technology, the reorientation toward export-led development, and the imperatives of pleasing global financial markets are all driving forces in the extermination of countless native communities which stand in their way.

Indigenous Peoples’ Rights, State Sovereignty and the Convention on Biological Diversity February 2004 It is often stated that attention to and respect for indigenous peoples’ rights in connection with the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) is barred by the principle of state sovereignty. This assertion is incorrect in light of contemporary international law. State sovereignty does not and cannot preclude attention to and respect for indigenous peoples’ internationally guaranteed rights. As one scholar puts it, the principle of sovereignty over natural resources in international law “ includes the duty to respect the rights and interests of indigenous peoples and not to compromise the rights of future generations This also applies to implementation of the CBD. This legal briefing explains why. Sovereignty is not Absolute: Sovereignty is a principle of international law that in essence provides that a state may, subject to any limitations prescribed by international law, freely determine and apply laws and policies governing the people and territory under its jurisdiction. This principle is repeated in a modified form in Article 3 of the CBD, which, in pertinent part, reads that, “ States have, in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations and the principles of international law, the sovereign right to exploit their own resources pursuant to their own environmental policies

Awareness of the Rio Agreements 1) Achievements In the Southern Cone, with the exception of a few countries, there is a lack of awareness of the Rio Agreements, especially within community organizations. However, some achievements have been made in the implementation of said accords. Indigenous Peoples, for example, have developed a number of activities regarding sustainability. 2) Outcomes The following outcomes are the result of a number of indigenous organizations' efforts: Land delimitation. Strategy studies, with regards to the autonomous development of Indigenous Peoples, prepared by COICA in the Amazonian basin. The creation of a park in the Guarani area, which includes regions in Argentina, Bolivia and Paraguay and it is managed by Guarani Peoples. 3) Hindrances Due to the lack of political will, although national governments have signed the agreements, in reality, they have not implemented them. These agreements have not been disseminated efficiently either, and there are no commitments with Indigenous Peoples. 4) Principles and Values Philosophy, ethics, morality and indigenous structures and organizations.

Conclusions Of First Meeting Of Indigenous Peoples of the Paraguay Basin Asuncion, 25-27 October, 1995 Proposals for Monitoring the Paraguay-Parana Hidrovia project 500 years have passed since the first Europeans arrived to our lands. Since the beginning of this era, we were decimated, and massacred. They have tried to exterminate us, or to integrate us totally into non-indigenous society here. We indigenous peoples ask that, from now on, a new era may begin, so that for the next 500 years indigenous peoples may be respected, and effectively consulted, our wishes and needs taken into account when any actions are planned which affect our lands.. Discrimination against indigenous peoples must end. It must be definitively established that we indigenous peoples are human beings and we have the right to live in agreement with our own cultural understanding. We are part of the natural world of this earth. We have therefore the right to fully participate in any plan drawn up which affects our use of our lands. The Hidrovia Paraguay-Parana project, proposed by the five governments of the region of the La Plata Basin, is like a giant monster which threatens the indigenous peoples of the region.

Meaning of UN Decade of Indigenous Peoples Accion Zapatista Chiapas and Indigenous People INDIGENOUS PEOPLES: Will U.N. Honour Be Mere Lip Service? By Diego Cevallos MEXICO CITY, Jan 26, 1995 - The United Nations International Decade of Indigenous Peoples will depend more on the ongoing struggle of native organisations than governments' participation, according to Nobel Peace Prizewinner Rigoberta Menchu. The Guatemalan indigenous leader said, ''we will demonstrate that we are flourishing cultures, and are changing the 'cultural pollution' we are submitted to and the image of backwardness and poverty that has been thrust upon us.'' The United Nations proclaimed the ''International Decade of the Indigenous Peoples of the World'' on Dec. 10, calling on governments to address the problems of native populations. "It was not increased government awareness that led to the declaration of the decade, but rather action and campaigns by the indigenous peoples themselves. Governments are not interested, and this must be acknowledged," Menchu said. She explained that the Zapatista uprising in Chiapas, Mexico, a campaign against an agrarian law in Ecuador and native protests in Bolivia were responsible for raising the profile of indigenous issues.

Home about ifad operations Evaluation ... Contact Us document.write(document.title) Press Releases Stories from the Field IFAD in the News Special Events ... Press Pack In 1994, the United Nations General Assembly agreed that the International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples shall be observed every year on 9 August. The date marks the day of the first meeting, in 1992, of the Working Group on Indigenous Populations of the Sub-Commission on the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights. Indigenous groups live in the highlands and rainforests of Latin America and the Caribbean, and the mountainous areas of the Near East and North Africa. The largest concentration, 70%, live in Asia and the Pacific region. Circumvented in government and private-interest policies, indigenous tribes in rural India suffer from increasing landlessness, job and food insecurity and severe debt burdens. Lands previously used by indigenous groups for subsistence agriculture, as a result of modernization, are now being taken over by wealthy landowners for economic development and agro-industries. IFAD has designed and is directly supervising an eight-year tribal development programme reaching 74 000 marginal households in the country. The USD 41.7 million Bihar-Madhya Pradesh Tribal Development Programme is promoting household food security based on the sustainable use of natural resources. It includes a provision for educating participants in the laws affecting tribal populations and for a legal defence fund to cover any costs incurred in defending their rights.

find your way: Indigenous peoples in Brazil Who, where, how many Who they are General definitions About the names of the peoples Emerging identities General definitions :: Introduction :: Indians, amerindians :: Criteria of identification :: Around the world Introduction Today, talking about Indigenous peoples in Brazil means to recognize basically that: (1) in the lands colonized by the Portuguese, where later a country called Brazil would exist, there were already human populations; (3) certain groups of people who live in present-day Brazil are historically connected to these early peoples; (5) like any other human group, Indigenous peoples have cultures that result from the history of the relationships among themselves and between them and the environment; a history that, in their case, has been (and continues to be) dramatically altered by the reality of colonization; Indians, Amerindians Generically, the Indigenous peoples that live not only in Brazil but also in the entire American continent are called Indians. This name is the result of a historical mistake made by the first Europeans who arrived in America, who thought they had reached India. The continuous use of the word, even by the Indians themselves, has made it a synonym of an Indigenous person in Brazil.
