Extractions: "I did not know how much was ended. When I look back now from this high hill of my old age, I can see the butchered women and children lying heaped and scattered all along the crooked gulch as plain as I saw them with eyes still young. And I can see that something else died there in the bloody mud, and was buried in the blizzard. A people's dream died there. It was a beautiful dream... "The nation's hoop is broken and scattered. There is no center any longer, and the sacred tree is dead."

Extractions: Saturday, April 24, 1999 Samuel New York City, NY - On April 23, representatives of Yachay Wasi (NGO/DPI), The Wittenberg Center (NGO/ECOSOC) and the International Romani Union (NGO/ECOSOC) presented the human rights violations: "Desecration of Indigenous Burial Sites and Display of Indigenous Remains" to the Human Rights caucus of the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development CSD-7 meeting currently at United Nations Headquarters in New York City. The statement below was given and, as one of the topics of CSD-7 is Sustainable Tourism, the issue of "display of Indigenous remains" was approved by the Caucus to be included in its report at the conclusion of CSD-7 on April 30. It is a timely decision as the exhibit in Florida closes tomorrow. Desecration of Indigenous Burial Sites and Display of Indigenous Remains CSD-7 - Human Rights Caucus - April 23, 1999 "Indigenous Peoples have the right to manifest, practice, develop and teach their spiritual and religious traditions, customs and ceremonies; the right to maintain, protect, and have access in privacy to their religious and cultural sites; the right to the use and control of ceremonial objects; and the right to the repatriation of human remains. States shall take effective measures, in conjunction with the indigenous peoples concerned, to ensure that indigenous sacred places, including burial sites, be preserved, respected and protected."

Extractions: about GPF What's New Newsletter Sitemap ... *Opinion Forum States like to pretend that they are "eternal," but states are really quite ephemeral. Old states fall apart and new ones come into being. In recent years, Czechoslovakia divided into two states, while Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union collapsed into many smaller states. What moves people to claim the right to form a new state, and what leads to a successful outcome (i.e. independence)? In a globalizing world, with decreasing national sovereignty and closer ties between people everywhere, what is the attraction of forming another independent state? Repressive governments, denying minority populations their rights, seem to be the main impetus for independence movements. But once independence is gained, the good life does not necessarily begin. Other minorities may, in turn, be disregarded or oppressed in the new emerging state. Analysis Links

Extractions: 1. As we depart one of the most violent and deadly centuries in the history of the world, questions of truth, reconciliation, and restitution have begun to appear in public forums, some with all the juridical structure of international tribunals. It is as if some deeply human yearning for peace has spawned an international quest for justice. In the South African case, a Truth and Reconciliation Commission brings perpetrators and their victims together where guilt is established and a resolution in the form of absolution and escape from punishment is granted to confessed criminals. This risk-free parade of villains, calmly - and occasionally with ill-concealed relish - recounting their roles in kidnappings, tortures, murders, and mutilation, at the end of which absolution is granted without penalty or forfeit, is either a lesson in human ennoblement, or a glorification of impunity. (Soyinka 1999: 28-29) 3. Soyinka fears that responsibility and justice are eroded by the price of truth and reconciliation. For him, and for many of apartheid’s victims, neither peace nor justice is served by mere public disclosure. Soyinka is not alone. Political parties, such as the Inkatha Freedom Party, have encouraged efforts by whites to redress injustices through contributions to monetary funds established to assist apartheid victims. And Pan African Congress Secretary-General Thami Plaatjie has said, "It is high time that the broader white community embraced such an initiative. It serves no purpose to confess, if it is not accompanied by reparations. Mechanisms of atonement should be implemented." (
