The United Nations and Indigenous Peoples from 1969 to 1994 (note 1) Erica-Irene Daes, Professor, Dr., Chairperson/Rapporteur of the Working Group on Indigenous Populations, United Nations Today the United Nation and indigenous representatives look back on more than twenty years of joint efforts to promote the cause of indigenous peoples. This paper will give a brief overview of how this constructive co-operation evolved in the past and how it might develop in the future. The Martinez Cobo Study Before 1969 the problems of indigenous populations have not been on the agenda of the Commission on Human Rights or of the Sub-Commission on Prevention of Discrimination and Protection of Minorities, although a number of studies undertaken by Special Rapporteurs of the Sub-Commission on various discrimination issues indirectly benefited indigenous peoples. (note 2) In 1969 the Sub-Commission had before it a report of the Special Rapporteur on the Study on Racial Discrimination in the Political, Economic, Social and Cultural Spheres. It included a chapter on measures taken in connection with the protection of indigenous peoples. (note 3) This started a process of discussion in the Sub-Commission and in the Commission on Human Rights. In 1970 the Sub-Commission recommended that a comprehensive study be made of the problem of discrimination against indigenous populations.

International Environmental Law and Policy Series Amazonia and Siberia Legal Aspects of the Preservation of the Environment and Development in the Last Open Spaces Edited by Michael Bothe Thomas Kurzidem Christian Schmidt The Protection of Indigenous Peoples under the ILO Convention Hans-Joachim Heintze 1. Introduction It has never been realized by the public as it has been case with the UN or the UNESCO, that the International Labour Organisation (ILO) has, since 1919, assigned an important place to human rights in its fields of competence. The organization has been,,a principal inspiration of the universal and regional texts relating economic and social rights, and to certain civil rights-indig.htmland political rights." This is especially true in connection with the protection of indigenous peoples. The ILO became active in this field long before the United Nations. There is no mention of this problem in any of the basic UN instruments relating to human rights. In general, and in the special case of indigenous peoples, the following statement about international law is correct:,,The progressive development of international law is a continuing process, and there remain a number of areas in which agreement on more detailed legal regimes is still needed. In some cases this is because international opinion is only just becoming seriously interested in particular problems."

Adopted at the Committee s 1235th meeting, 18 August 1997. UN Doc. http://forestpeoples.gn.apc.org/Briefings/Private sector/eir_ips_right_to_fpic_m

the World Bank’s Extractive Industries Review March 2004 Indigenous peoples’ right to free, prior and informed consent (FPIC) has been recognized and accepted by a number of intergovernmental organizations and international bodies (see Box 1 ) and increasingly in the laws of states. The Report of the World Bank’s Extractive Industries Review (EIR) recommends that the World Bank Group recognize and respect this right. Why is this right important and what does it mean? Importance of FPIC Threats to indigenous peoples’ rights and well-being are particularly acute in relation to resource development projects, be they state- or corporate-directed. These projects and operations have had and continue to have a devastating impact on indigenous peoples, undermining their ability to sustain themselves physically and culturally. Numerous reports confirm that this experience is not confined to the past and is “ one of the major human rights problems faced by [indigenous peoples] in recent decades.” For indigenous peoples, secure, effective collective rights to traditional lands, territories and resources are fundamental to their economic and social development, to their physical and cultural integrity, to their livelihoods and sustenance. Secure land and resource rights are also essential for the maintenance of their worldviews and spirituality and, in short, to their very survival as viable territorial and distinct cultural communities.

72. FPP - Indigenous Peoples & State Sovereignity In The CBD - Feb 04 indigenous peoples’ Rights Human rights instruments, both of general application and those exclusively focused on indigenous peoples, recognize, guarantee http://forestpeoples.gn.apc.org/Briefings/consv_policy_cbd/cbd_ips_sovereignty_f

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

The Sami people, the indigenous people of Norway The purpose of Norway's Sami Act is to make it possible for the Sami people in Norway to protect and develop their language, their culture and their community life. The first Sami Assembly, founded on law, was officially opened on 9 October 1989. This is a democratic institution elected by and from among Samis and its task is to deal with all matters the Assembly deems to be of particular interest to the Sami people. It can raise questions and submit opinions on any matter within its sphere of activity. Other public bodies in Norway must ensure that the Sami Assembly is heard in matters of importance to the Sami population before a decision is made. The Sami Assembly is elected for four years at a time on the same day as the General Elections take place in Norway. The question of environmental impact assessments will be taken up by the Norwegian authorities and the Sami Assembly in order to find suitable forms of cooperation. The Sami Assembly took part in the national preparations for the conference between the parties in the convention of biodiversity. The involvement of the Sami people in other national programmes has also been discussed. When Local Agenda 21 is being integrated into municipalities which have a Sami population, it understood that the Sami people will automatically be represented in this work.

74. Voice Of Indigenous Peoples - A Book Review By Scott London Eurasia, and the Arctic made to the general Assembly of the United Nations as it launched the International Year of the World s indigenous People (1993). http://www.scottlondon.com/reviews/ewen.html

VOICE OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES Native People Address the United Nations Edited by Alexander Ewen Clear Light Publishers, 1994, 176 pages In their own way, each of the book's sections shed light on the global nature of the plight facing indigenous people: the disappearance of diversity and traditional ways of life, ecological degradation, repression of native rights movements, and the loss of vital knowledge about how to live in harmony with the environment. The statements made by the nineteen indigenous representatives describe these issues with examples drawn from their own cultures. Anderson Muutang Urud of the Kelabit tribe of Sarawak, Malaysia, points out that his people have lost their native forest lands to logging companies. "Our lives are threatened by company goons," he says. "Our women are being raped by loggers who invade our villages. While the companies get rich from our forests, we are condemned to live in poverty and eventual genocide." Davi Yanomami of the Yanomami tribe of the Amazon Valley describes the invasion of garimpeiros (gold miners) who not only ravage their lands but exploit his people and spread disease. Thomas Banyacya, a Native American Hopi elder, talks about the costs to his people of the Navajo-Hopi Land Settlement Act of 1974 which mandated the removal of Navajos and Hopis from their native lands, ostensibly to resolve conflicting claims to land between the two groups, but largely as a result of pressure by mining and energy industries.

INDIGENOUS PEOPLE: UN Concerned About Declining Health UN Wire: Wednesday, 1 December 1999 http://www.unfoundation.org The World Health Organization said on Friday that urgent action is needed to address the health needs of 300 million indigenous people worldwide, "whose lives are cut short by disease and poverty and whose existence is increasingly threatened by environmental degradation," reports the Associated Press. "In many areas, health conditions are worsening, as demonstrated by rising rates of diseases such as diabetes, cancer, alcoholism, critical levels of infant mortality and decreasing life expectancies," said Wilton Littlechild, chief of Canada's Four Cree Nations. The WHO coordinator on health and sustainable development, Eugenio Villar, said further meetings will be scheduled to establish concrete policies. Among the findings of a 98-page WHO report on health of indigenous populations: Indigenous people die 10 to 20 years earlier than the overall population and infant mortality rates are up to three times higher than national averages. Malnutrition and diseases such as malaria and yellow fever are rampant. Substance abuse is rife, while rising suicide rates and domestic violence point to worsening mental health as traditional values break down. Arctic populations are dependent on harvesting natural resources, yet are among the most exposed to industrial contaminants. Since 1970, rates of disease and trauma have increased "several hundred percent" among indigenous peoples in Russia.
