Economic and Social Council, Dist.:GENERAL March 2005, Original: ENGLISH I f the MDG One conclusion is that the poverty map in the region coincides with indigenous peoples territories. A subsequent study in the region conducted by the Inter-American Development Bank came up with similar conclusions and observations: alarming conditions of extreme poverty and marginality. Statistics in Guatemala show that 50 to 60 per cent of a total population of 11 million belong to 23 indigenous peoples. Of these number, 54.3 per cent of them are poor and 22.8 per cent extremely poor. Sixty per cent of households do not have the capacity to earn half of the cost of their minimum food needs despite spending a greater part of their earnings on it. Eight out of every ten indigenous children in this country live in poverty according to the indicators published in the 2001 Human Development Report The Asian Development Bank also undertook a study in 2002 on the poverty situation of indigenous peoples and ethnic minorities in Vietnam, the Philippines, Cambodia and Indonesia. This study could not establish trends in the relationship between poverty and ethnicity because there is a lack of disaggregated and data based on ethnicity. However, in the case of Vietnam such disaggregated data is available. The finding is that the worst poverty situation in Vietnam is among the ethnic minorities

    Extractions: The first contingent of humans arrived in North America from Asia during the glacial age which began some 40 thousand years ago. From North America they entered Central America sometime between 13 000 BCE and 7500 BCE spreading from there to South America. Relatively little is known about the inhabitants of Latin America during this period since our knowledge about them is based solely on excavations. However, despite the early arrival of people in Central and South America it was not until 2000 BCE that the first permanent villages showing some kind of social organisation appeared, leading to the formation of high civilisations and social stratification such as the Olmecs that flourished around 1300 BCE or the Mayas that appeared in the first millenium BCE. The settlements in Latin America varied immensely from one place to another. While societies such as the Inca of the Andes and the Maya, Olmec and Aztec of Central America developed a high level of culture, others kept a rather tribal structure. Generalisation about these cultures is, therefore, problematic. In spite of these differences it is possible to identify certain common characteristics in both high civilizations and tribal societies such as animism, a cult of ancestors and continuity between religion and political power. In some societies the mediation between the supernatural and the natural was done through a hierarchically organized body of priests, in other societies a more democratic kind of shamanistic practice was stronger.

Saskatchewan: University of Saskatchewan Native Law Centre. Alfredsson, Gudmundur. "International Law, International Organizations and Indigenous Peoples." (1982), 36 Journal of International Affairs The author analyzes the remedies and avenues for redress available in international law and organizations for human rights violations against indigenous peoples. He also examines specific provisions in the Charter of the United Nations relating to the domestic jurisdiction rule and argues that most states could not successfully invoke this rule because, as parties to international agreements, they have consented to the competence of others to discuss state performance in areas covered by the agreements. The author also examines the principle of the right to self-determination and puts forth five possible meanings and potential beneficiaries. He concludes that most indigenous peoples are excluded from the exercise of external self-determination partly because of the territorial and sovereignty arguments advanced by metropolitan states. He asserts, however, that this does not mean that internal self-determination does not apply. American Indian Law Centre. "Special Issue." (1974), 7

Let me offer a special welcome to the many indigenous women and men who have joined us from all parts of the world. As you know, last year the General Assembly proclaimed the Second International Decade of the World’s Indigenous People. This session of the Forum is an opportunity to reflect on the achievements of the first decade, and to equip ourselves for the challenges ahead. In the last 10 years, the relationship between indigenous peoples and the United Nations has come a long way. This Forum itself, a new United Nations body of high calibre and with a broad mandate, is drawing welcome attention to neglected issues and is playing a catalytic role in forging partnerships between indigenous peoples, Governments and the UN system. The appointment of a Special Rapporteur for the human rights and fundamental freedoms of indigenous people has strengthened the protection mechanisms available to indigenous peoples. And inter-agency cooperation has improved, with the UN Development Group and Inter-Agency Support Group on Indigenous Issues taking important steps to better integrate indigenous concerns and issues into our activities and policy-making.

    Extractions: The culture and knowledge systems of indigenous people and their institutions provide useful frameworks, ideas, guiding principles, procedures and practices that can serve as a foundation for effective endogenous development options for restoring social, economic, and environmental resilience in many parts of Africa and the developing world in general. It is therefore essential that traditional knowledge systems in the continent should not be subsumed by the domination of cultures that notoriously foster inequality and materialism. Indigenous knowledge systems (IKS) are an important part of the lives of the poor. It is the basis for decision-making of communities in food security, human and animal health, education, and natural resource management. IKS point to how indigenous people manipulate their knowledge, which has accumulated, evolved and practised for generations. They epitomise the relationship and interaction between indigenous peoples and their natural surroundings.

Another way of summarising this collection of reports might be to represent it as an ongoing testimony of Indigenous peoples' struggle for their rightsmost of the time primarily their survivaland their fight against institutionalised racism, the latter existing both at national level and beyond borders, including within UN meetings.

    Extractions: document.write(document.title) August 9 is the International Day of the World's Indigenous People. This year, the day is of special importance as the first in the Second International Decade of the World's Indigenous People, which was proclaimed last year by the United Nations General Assembly and started on 1 January. "The beginning of the new decade is a time to seriously consider how to continue to enhance the well-being and rights of indigenous peoples and support them in realizing their capabilities," said Vanda Altarelli, IFAD's adviser on indigenous peoples. The new decade is a reiterated call to action for governments and all members of the international development community to work in partnership with indigenous peoples. The first priority of the second decade is to finalize negotiations on the draft declaration on the rights of indigenous peoples, and to adopt it early in the decade. Work on the declaration has been ongoing for ten years. Other important tasks ahead include addressing indigenous peoples' key concerns in the area of development, integrating indigenous perspectives into development processes at local, national and international levels and enabling indigenous peoples to participate fully in those processes. During the second decade, the issues of indigenous-specific indicators of progress and methods of collecting data disaggregated by ethnicity will also be addressed.

    Extractions: April 16, 2003 The wheel of fortune could be turning for southern Africa's San, or Bushmen. The drug named P57 is based on a substance scientists found in the desert plant Hoodia gordinii. The San call the cactus !khoba and have been chewing on it for thousands of years to stave off hunger and thirst during long hunting trips in their parched Kalahari desert home. A deal has been signed between the South African San Council and the country's Scientific and Industrial Research Council (CSIR), which identified the appetite-suppressing ingredient in Hoodia during research into indigenous plants in 1996. At a small ceremony recently held in the Kalahari desert near the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, which South Africa shares with Botswana, the San and the CSIR made a deal to share royalties earned by commercial sale of the San's ancient knowledge of the plant. The overly nourished millions of people in the developed world spend billions of dollars a year on preparations and remedies to combat obesity. Effective new products that help shed weight are always in high demand.
