    Extractions: Committtee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, General Recommendation XXIII Indigenous Peoples (Fifty-first session, 1997) U.N. Doc. A/52/18, annex V. 1. In the practice of the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, in particular in the examination of reports of States parties under article 9 of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, the situation of indigenous peoples has always been a matter of close attention and concern. In this respect, the Committee has consistently affirmed that discrimination against indigenous peoples falls under the scope of the Convention and that all appropriate means must be taken to combat and eliminate such discrimination. 2. The Committee, noting that the General Assembly proclaimed the International Decade of the World's Indigenous Peoples commencing on 10 December 1994, reaffirms that the provisions of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination apply to indigenous peoples. 3. The Committee is conscious of the fact that in many regions of the world indigenous peoples have been, and are still being, discriminated against and deprived of their human rights and fundamental freedoms and in particular that they have lost their land and resources to colonists, commercial companies and State enterprises. Consequently, the preservation of their culture and their historical identity has been and still is jeopardized.

    Extractions: In the past, the Internet has been focused on North American written English, but this is changing rapidly. The spread of low cost equipment, cheaper connectivity, and new software tools has allowed ethnic groups, minority cultures, and institutions that support diverse populations and languages to use the Internet to link diaspora groups far from home, support language preservation efforts with online web sites, multilingual databases, and experiment with digital story-telling techniques that combine traditional methods with unusual uses of new media. The social organization needed to make use of this technology is a key concern for libraries that wish to play a supporting role in these innovative efforts.

This territory has been recognized by international agreements that hold up this ancestral right of ownership, under a system of communal coexistence with other cultures, respect for nature, the necessary use of its natural resources and historic heritage for our future generations. The Constitution of the Republic establishes in its Fundamental Principles that "The State recognized the existence of Indigenous peoples who shall enjoy the rights, responsibilities, and guarantees provided by the Constitution, and, in particular, those of maintaining and developing their identity, culture, their own forms of social organization and administration of local affairs; likewise, to maintain communal forms of property on their lands and possession, use, and enjoyment of the same, in full conformity with the Law." [Article 5, Constitution] It is noted in Article 180 of the Constitution that "The communities of the Atlantic coast have the right to live and develop themselves under forms of social organization that correspond to their historical and cultural traditions." It goes on: "The State guarantees these communities enjoyment of their natural resources, effectiveness in their forms of communal property and free election of their authorities and legislative representatives."

They form at present non-dominant sectors of society and are determined to preserve, develop, and transmit to future generations their ancestral territories, and their ethnic identity, as the basis of their continued existence as peoples, in accordance with their own cultural patterns, social institutions and legal systems."

These efforts led to a number of important international conferences and heightened attention from scholars and international nongovernmental organizations. *** Top of Page 35 *** states.

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.

    Extractions: Indigenous Peoples' Research Network Sámegillii På norsk ] [In English] As a step in the efforts to promote Sámi research and indigenous peoples’ research, the University of Tromsø the Sámi College and the Nordic Sámi Institute have joined forces to establish a research network. It will be possible to expand the network later to include other institutions. The Research Council of Norway is providing funding for the establishment and operation of the network. Initially, the collaboration will focus on Sámi research, but the idea is to expand the network to embrace research on, by and for the benefit of other indigenous peoples as well. The primary network framework will be research on the situation of the Sámi and/or other indigenous peoples, with particular emphasis on their efforts to safeguard their economic bases, their cultures and their integrity as a people. In time, it is hoped that it will be possible to develop this programme into a research programme for indigenous peoples. The network is a direct result of a seminar organised on 20 and 21 October 1997. The seminar report is available from the secretariat or the research manager upon request.
