Extractions: July 15, 2002 0207wssdprep.pdf [printer-friendly version] Author's Introduction . This year, in late August 2002, the United Nations will hold the World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD), an international conference in Johannesburg, South Africa, ostensibly to create a new model of sustainable development that integrates economic development, social justice, and environmental imperatives. WSSD is supposed to be a ten year follow-up and implementation conference to the 1992 Rio de Janeiro UN Conference on Environment and Developmentthus, its other name, "Rio plus 10." In the Preparatory Committee (PrepComm) meetings that have preceded WSSD, (the latest in Bali, Indonesia held in late May through early June) a common theme has emergedthe United States government is bound and determined to undermine, overthrow, and sabotage any international treaties, agreements, and conferences that it believes restrict its sovereignty in any way as the world's rogue superpower. By the second day of the UN's Bali Preparatory Committee (PrepComm) for the World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD), most delegates from the Nongovernmental Organizations (NGOs) oscillated between disgust and depression. The "Chairman's Report"the summary language that all the world governments were trying to agree uponwas little more than a neoliberal anti-environmental agenda. Naty Bernardino of the International South Group Network called it "Rio minus 10." As the governmental delegates were debating the language for the final declaration, an angry UN official, thinking his microphone had been turned off, was overhead lamenting, "What are we going to do about the United States?"

Extractions: Dear Colleagues in Servas, Today's message to you is of particular interest to our Servas International Representatives to the United Nations, but all Peace Secretaries, Exco members and other friends in Servas are welcome to it. With my recent message #6 to you, I recently entrusted you with an exemplary draft report written by our colleague Gary Sealey who represented SI at the Summit on Ecotourism that took place in Quebec City. I wanted you to see it because it is a very good and most useful example to follow for when you will wish to share your impressions of what you will have experienced when attending UN Conferences for SI. It is very useful for our needs, and must not at all be as elaborate as the report below from the Bali WSSD PrepCom4, but I feel that you'll be interested to see it also. Feel free to read only what is of interest to you: this is what the govenments' will be discussing at the largest UN conference ever, the World Summit on Sustainable Development to be held in Johannesburg Aug. 26th to Sept. 4th 2002, where SI will be represented by a delegation of 3 which will be able to bring into the conference our peacebuilding vision.

Extractions: By the second day of the UN's Bali PrepComm, most delegates from the Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) oscillated between disgust and depression. The "Chairman's Report"the summary language that all the world governments were trying to agree uponwas little more than a neoliberal anti-environmental agenda.

As the governmental delegates were debating the language for the final declaration, an angry UN official, thinking his microphone had been turned off, was overhead lamenting, "What are we going to do about the United States?" Many groups had come to Bali to demand "water as a human right." The U.S. refused; it argued that water is a commodity to be privatized. Groups had demanded that the U.S. sign the Kyoto treaty, and that WSSD pass a proposal for a far more radical reduction in greenhouse gases than the 5% proposed by Kyoto. The U.S. refused to sign Kyoto altogether, and opposed any language linking fossil fuel combustion to global warmingopposing any efforts to save the small island states and the entire planet from ecological catastrophe. NGOs, and even a few governments, had demanded binding language with specific timetables and goals, such as reducing world poverty by 50% by the year 2015. The U.S. opposed specific numerical goals, specific timetables, structures of accountability, or penalties for non-compliance.
Extractive Industries Review-Issue24-April '03 indigenous peoples and the Extractive Industries A Call on the World Bank toOverhaul World Bank Groups support of the Extractive Industries in africa http://www.sidint.org/cnrweb/Newsletter/Extractive_Industries_Review_Issue24_Apr
Extractions: The Extractive Industries Review was launched in October 2001 after criticism of the World Bank Groups promotion of Oil, Gas and Mining (OMG) sector in developing countries. Civil society claims that while support to these sectors may produce short-term economic benefits for developing countries and profits for the companies concerned, in the long term the environmental and social costs born by local communities and indigenous peoples outweigh the benefits accrued. The CNR Solidarity Network is following the EIR process, collating and sharing the information relating to the Review to facilitate the information base of NGOs and community-based organizations working in this area. The objective of the EIR is to produce a set of recommendations that will guide the involvement of the World Bank Group (WBG) in the OGM sector. For the duration of the Review, civil society has called for a moratorium on the World Bank's financing of all related projects and the option to end all WBG support of OGM if recommended by the final EIR report.

Extractions: Today we reaffirm our relationship to Mother Earth and our responsibility to coming generations to uphold peace, equity and justice. We continue to pursue the commitments made at Earth Summit as reflected in this political declaration and the accompanying plan of action. The commitments which were made to Indigenous Peoples in Agenda 21, including our full and effective participation, have not been implemented due to the lack of political will. As peoples, we reaffirm our rights to self-determination and to own, control and manage our ancestral lands and territories, waters and other resources. Our lands and territories are at the core of our existence - we are the land and the land is us; we have a distinct spiritual and material relationship with our lands and territories and they are inextricably linked to our survival and to the preservation and further development of our knowledge systems and cultures, conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity and ecosystem management.

Ethnography, both as a set of methodological and textual practices, is central to anthropology. In this course we will explore the development of latin@ ethnographic traditions by examining tensions emerging out of and in response too ethnographic writing. Latin@ critiquest o ethnographic projects that construct Latin@s as homogenous, pathological, and pre- odern have taken various forms. With their complex social organization, elaborate ceremonies, fascinating mythology, and flamboyant "art," the indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest Coast represent a truly unique "culture area" of Native North America. The course surveys several cultures of this region (from the coast of Oregon to southeastern Alaska), drawing upon early travelers' accounts, anthropological works, native testimony, artifacts from the Hood Museum of Art, and films. Lectures, class discussions, and student presentations will deal with the "classic" Northwest Coast cultures of the eighteenth and the nineteenth centuries as well as their modern versions.

Extractions: Lecture: Indigenous People and Environment. "Indigenous"? The term "indigenous" can refer to a situation where there is an original group of people living in a particular area and a more recent group gains control of the nation state in which they still live. e.g. the Aborigines or the Native Americans. In either case, the term "indigenous" describes a political situation. It is a situation of marginalisation in relationship to a state apparatus that has taken over the area in which the indigenous people live. Systems of Production and Culture From an anthropological point of view the term "indigenous" is not all that descriptive of the actual cultural and economic structures which these people maintain. Yet it is cultural and economic activities which impact on th environment. To describe these cultural and economic activities, anthropologists are more likely to use terms like "hunters and gatherers", "slash and burn agriculture", "horticulturalists". These really refer to the kind of technology that is used and there is an assumption that particular types of social organisation and economy and politics go along with each technology. What all these types of production and their associated cultures have in common is that there is no state . There is no body of professional soldiers under the command of a ruling political elite.

Extractions: Home REMARKS BY MANGOSUTHU BUTHELEZI, MP, MINISTER OF HOME AFFAIRS, AND PRESIDENT OF THE INKATHA FREEDOM PARTY OF SOUTH AFRICA, AT THE MEETING WITH THE HONOURABLE PHILLIP RUDDOCK, MINISTER FOR IMMIGRATION AND MULTICULTURAL AND INDIGENOUS AFFAIRS, Canberra, 4 June 2003 It is a great pleasure for me to meet again with the Honourable Phillip Ruddock to continue what have become an intense dialogue and, indeed, a strong partnership. I believe that our partnership in the field of migration control underpins the relationship between our two countries and I feel that the strength of co-operation that South Africa and Australia have developed in the field of migration control and refugee affairs should, indeed, be an example of the strength and intensity of relationships, exchanges and friendship that South Africa and Australia should rightly develop across each and every field of government endeavours. In fact, in spite of the profound differences between our two countries, it seems to me that South Africa and Australia find themselves having to fulfil a singular responsibility in the intricate matrix of international relations. Both countries happen to enjoy the position of relative developmental advantage within their respective regions, which creates the responsibility of becoming engines of progress, development and liberalisation for neighbouring countries and countries which gravitate within the same region. Obviously, South Africa is admittedly far less developed, progressed and prosperous than Australia and yet, within the sea of under-development, despair and need which characterises many regions of this continent, we represent an island of relative prosperity, democracy and development. The field of migration control highlights the relationship between greater relative prosperity and the sense of responsibility which ties each of our two countries to our neighbours and friends in the geo-political regions to which we belong.

Extractions: TOP Title: "The Contribution of the Central Bank of Nigeria [CBN] Agricultural Credit Guarantee Scheme Fund [ACGSF] to Agricultural Development During the Structural Adjustment Programme [1986 - 1996]." The major finding of this MSc dissertation is the confirmation of the fact that small - scale farmers are the major beneficiaries of the structural adjustment programme. Not even in one sector of all areas considered for loans were they left out. They had a substantial award of loans when the performance, even on state by state basis was examined; the small - scale farmers were in the fore-front when consideration for the crop and livestock loans were made, and this in terms of size and value. The significance of this findings lies in the fact that 60 - 80 percent of the farming population in nigeria are small - scale farmers.
Extractions: Alvaro Umaña, UNDP, emphasized that climate change is not only an environmental issue but also a critical development issue, whose impacts will be felt most severely in developing countries. He noted that water resources in many developing countries are particularly vulnerable to climate change. He emphasized that water is critically linked to meeting the Millennium Development Goals, and stressed the need to help countries develop frameworks for sustainable use of water resources, adapt to climate change, and integrate adaptation into national development planning and strategies for poverty eradication. He said many of these issues are related to water governance, and highlighted the Dialogue on Effective Water Governance, which is bringing stakeholders together to examine political processes and analyze water governance issues.
Origin Of Balinese People Origin of the people of bali. the race that some of it s members interestinglyassume them selves as indigenous people of Indonesia and Indonesian http://www.balilife.com/inhabitant/peopleor.html
Extractions: Origin Back In the Mist of Time, a Long Journey from Yangtze Valley in China There are many sources of information of Balinese people origin. They are Balinese and Javanese texts and scriptures, Indian literature, and archaeological as well as linguistic findings. Following is a description based on the mixture of the sources mentioned above. Long time ago, around ten thousands of years ago, developed a civilization on the banks of Yangtze river in Yunnan area in southern China. This civilization already posses technology on farming. The technology includes wet and dry rice cultivation. For some reasons some of these people began to move to the south. Recent archaeological discovery, together with the result of linguistic study, uncover that these people migrated first to what now known as Taiwan. From there they moved to Luzon of the Philippines. Some five thousands of years ago they continued the journey to Borneo and to other places, part of them is what we call now as Indonesian archipelago, including Bali. In the new land they implemented the technology they brought, such as wet rice cultivation and bronze technology. But also important is that they continue to embrace their ancient culture of ancestor and nature worship. This custom still widely practiced, even today, in many part of Asia. Bali is among the places where it is people hold this custom strongly until now.

See the post-WSSD commentary by Victor Menotti, director of IFG'S Environment Program. On August 26th to September 4th, 2002, the United Nations (UN) World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD)met in Johannesburg, South Africa. This ten-year retrospective of the 1992 Rio +10 summit was designed to "seek consensus on the general assessment of current conditions, and on priorities for further action in new areas or issues." UN planning sessions for the summit made it clear that the WSSD was not addressing in any substantial way the number one threat to the survival of the natural world - economic globalization. A decade after the Rio Earth Summit there is nearly unanimous agreement among participating countries and organizations that the outcome has been a failure. The Rio processes have not achieved any of their goals, and some of the most notable undertakings, as in the area of climate change, have been profoundly disappointing. Bureaucracies such as the World Trade Organization (WTO), the World Bank, and the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and agreements such as the proposed Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA), are the driving engines for the global economy. They are increasingly making the work of the Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEAs), including the products of Rio, irrelevant and subordinate to global trade and investment rules.
