    SITUATION OF THE HUMAN RIGHTS OF INDIGENOUS PERSONS
    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.

    SECRETARY-GENERAL HAILS CONTRIBUTIONS OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES
    TO HUMAN CIVILIZATION IN REMARKS IN MACHU PICCHU, PERU

    Following is the statement delivered by Secretary-General Kofi Annan on indigenous peoples in Machu Picchu, Peru, on 12 November:
    I would like to thank you (President Toledo) and Eliane for bringing Nane and me here.
    And, throughout Latin America, one sees the extraordinary diversity of indigenous cultures and the potential contribution their knowledge and values can make to poverty eradication, sustainable agriculture, and indeed to our concept of life.  From here in Peru to the Philippines, and from the deserts of Australia to the ice-covered lands of the Arctic circle, indigenous peoples have much to teach our world.
    The international community can no longer tolerate this situation.  Nor should any society where it is happening.  I hope everyone will take the UNICEF report, as a call to action to promote the highest standard of health and nutrition, to guarantee multi-cultural education of high quality, and to give indigenous children a voice in the decisions that affect their lives.
    Indigenous peoples must be full partners in efforts to protect their children, just as they must participate in all decisions that affect their communities and the countries of which they are citizens.  Already, indigenous women are making a special contribution to these processes.  They must be allowed and encouraged to do more.

    Indigenous Peoples: Rights and Aspirations
    from Peacework , March 1996 (pages 10-11)
    by Ann Stewart
    Generally, the word "indigenous" refers to peoples whose cultural traditions, spiritual practices, economies, and languages are usually (but not always) associated with distinct lands or regions they have inhabited for thousands of years These days, an estimated 300 million indigenous people across the world face varying degrees of cultural extinction. This is mostly due to wars and displacement, but also to the rapacity of multinational corporations and industrialized societies which crave the lands indigenous peoples occupy, as well as their water, timber, and minerals. On December 9, 1994, the United Nations' General Assembly announced a Decade of the World s Indigenous Peoples. The theme is "Indigenous Peoples: A New Relationship - Partnership in Action." The UN's own objectives for the decade include the adoption by the General Assembly of a declaration on the rights of indigenous peoples, creation of a permanent indigenous forum, and increased employment opportunities. The UN is also encouraging its members to give indigenous peoples "greater responsibility for their own affairs and an effective voice in decisions on matters which affect them." While small numbers of indigenous representatives have appeared regularly at UN meetings in New York City and Geneva since 1977, overall few gains have been achieved in self-determination and recognition of indigenous rights at international levels.

    The Human Rights of Indigenous Peoples One of the most hotly contested international debates today is the problem of indigenous peoples. We have assembled this page to inform the general public of the plight of the global indigenous population and of the situations of various groups of indigenous peoples around the world. The first section of the page provides information on the general problems facing indigenous peoples today, paying particular attention to violations of their human rights. The second section tells about the international politics behind this problem, and the third describes what is being done about it right now, and prescriptions for the problem in the future. Section 1: Why is this a problem? Section 2: What are the politics behind the problem? ... What are the possible solutions to the problem?

The Agenda of the Development Cooperation Group of the Council held on 18 March 1997 mentioned for the very first time the issue ‘Indigenous Peoples’. At its meeting on 5 June 1997, the Development Council invited the European Commission to present a policy paper on EU development policy on indigenous peoples. Indigenous peoples were involved in the development of the European Commission Working Document of 11 May 1998 on support for Indigenous Peoples in the development co-operation of the Community and the Member States. This Document was rapidly followed on 30 November 1998 by the adoption of the Council Resolution on Indigenous Peoples within the Framework of the Development Cooperation of the Community and Members States which provides the main guidelines for support to indigenous peoples.

It is a Special Committee member of the Conference of Non-Governmental Organizations in Consultative Relationship with the United Nations (CONGO). The NGO Committee began its work on October 16, 1991, seeking to strengthen the effectiveness of the United Nations with regard to the 1993 United Nations International Year of the World's Indigenous Peoples. On December 8, 1994, the United Nations General Assembly launched the International Decade, and the NGO Committee transferred its mandate from the International Year to supporting the International Decade (1995-2004). With the launching of the International Decade, the United Nations has pledged to improve the situation of over 300 million Indigenous Peoples worldwide. The General Assembly resolutions have proposed to strengthen international cooperation in such areas as human rights, the environment, development, education, and health.

    GLOSSARY
    Q: WHO ARE INDIGENOUS PEOPLE? A: Tropical rainforests are bursting with life. Not only do millions of species of plants and animals live in rainforests, but many people also call the rainforest their home. In fact, Indigenous, or native, people have lived in rainforests for thousands of years. In North and South America they were mistakenly named Indians by Christopher Columbus, who thought that he had landed in Indonesia, then called the East Indies. Q: IN GENERAL, HOW DO INDIGENOUS PEOPLE LIVE? A: Although many Indigenous people live much like we do, some still live as their ancestors did many years before them. These groups organize their daily lives differently than our culture. Everything they need to survive, from food to medicines to clothing, comes from the forest. FOOD Besides hunting, gathering wild fruits and nuts and fishing, Indigenous people also plant small gardens for other sources of food, using a sustainable farming method called shifting cultivation. First they first clear a small area of land and burn it. Then they plant many types of plants, to be used for food and medicines. After a few years, the soil has become too poor to allow for more crops to grow and weeds start to take over. So they then move to a nearby uncleared area. This land is traditionally allowed to regrow for 10-50 years before it is farmed again.

    INTERNATIONAL DECADE - 1995 - 2004 The plight of the world's indigenous people an estimated 300 million in more than 70 countries has become a major focus of concern for the international community. Descendants of the first known humans in their regions, from the Amazon to the Arctic Circle, they once lived isolated existences, free to be different in their cultures, religions, and patterns of economic and social organization. The modern, industrialized world changed all that. Dispossessed by modernization's thirst for energy, minerals, timber, farmland and living space, millions of indigenous peoples are facing extinction as distinct peoples. They have been pushed to what the United Nations Secretary-General, Boutros Boutros-Ghali, has called the "the margins of national and international life". But their voices are finally being heard. Their concerns were on the agenda of the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (Earth Summit) in June 1992. At the Earth Summit, States acknowledged the need to recognize indigenous peoples' values, territories, traditional knowledge and subsistence rights. They also admitted that indigenous people have a special relation with the Earth: their ecological knowledge and agricultural systems often play a vital role in promoting sustainable development.

    http://isis.csuhayward.edu/ALSS/soc/NAN/dd/6800sj/slj.htm
    THE GENOCIDE OF NATIVE AMERICANS:
    A SOCIOLOGICAL VIEW
    • Killing members of the group;
    • Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of group;
    • Deliberately infliction on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
    • Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
    • Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

    Genocide or the deliberate extermination of one ethnic group by another is not new, for example in 1937 the Pequot Indians were exterminated by the Colonists when they burned their villages in Mystic, Connecticut, and then shot all the other people including women and children who tried to escape. The United States Government has refused to ratify the U.N. convention on genocide . There are many facets of genocide which have been implemented upon indigenous peoples of North America. The list of American genocidal policies includes: Mass-execution, Biological warfare, Forced Removal from homelands, Incarceration, Indoctrination of non-indigenous values, forced surgical sterilization of native women, Prevention of religious practices, just to name a few.
    By mass-execution prior to the arrival of Columbus the land defined as the 48 contiguous states of America numbered in excess of 12 million. Four centuries later, it had been reduced by 95% (237 thousand). How? When Columbus returned in 1493 he brought a force of 17 ships. He began to implement slavery and mass-extermination of the Taino population of the Caribbean. Within three years five million were dead. Fifty years later the Spanish census recorded only 200 living! Las Casas, the primary historian of the Columbian era, writes of numerous accounts of the horrendous acts that the Spanish colonists inflicted upon the indigenous people, which included hanging them en masse, roasting them on spits, hacking their children into pieces to be used as dog food, and the list continues.

The plan is to implement the summit in two phases. The first phase is to take place in Geneva, Switzerland in December 10-12, 2003 and the second to be hosted by Tunisia in November 16-18, 2005. The proposal made to the United Nations General Assembly to endorse and adopt the World summit of the Information Society (WSIS) has not received the expected support. The UN General Assembly, arguing financial constraints, has not voted yet to underwrite officially the summit. Nonetheless, Kofi Annan, UN Secretary General, has provided full support to the summit, whose first phase, in the wake of three preparatory conferences will take place in Geneva in December 2003. Unlike other UN Conferences, the WSIS prepcoms have taken place in Geneva and hosted by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU), a UN specialized agency that is responsible for the whole WSIS process. Two prepcoms took place in Geneva in July 2002 and February 2003. The third one was held in September 15-25. An inter-sessional prepcom took place in Paris, France in July 2003. Two draft documents constitute the outcome of these prepcoms, one is the Declaration of Principles, and the other a Plan of Action. These documents are supposed to be adopted in Geneva in December 2003
