42. Globalisation And Tourism:Deadly Mix For Indigenous Peoples bearing on tourism is the general Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS). In africa, tourism s effects on indigenous peoples have been profound http://www.twnside.org.sg/title/chavez-cn.htm

BACK TO MAIN ONLINE BOOKSTORE HOW TO ORDER Globalisation and tourism: Deadly mix for indigenous peoples Indigenous peoples are paying a high price for tourism, says Raymond de Chavez. In their drive for profits, transnational corporations which dominate the international tourist industry have, with the complicity of governments (particularly those of the Third World), devastated the lives and lifestyles of indigenous peoples. The process of globalisation will only exacerbate their plight. GLOBALISATION and tourism have become a deadly mix for indigenous peoples. Tourism's impact on indigenous peoples' way of life and on their control of and access to their resources and environment has become more pronounced with globalisation of the world economy. For several decades now, tourism has been a major source of revenue for countries, specifically in the Third World. Its growth has been nothing short of phenomenal. In the 1950s, 25 million people travelled to a foreign destination. In the 1960s, this grew to 70 million. By 1997, 617 million tourists had been reported by the Madrid-based World Tourism Organisation to have travelled to foreign countries. The World Tourism Organisation has even predicted that by the 21st century, tourist arrivals would have reached billions annually. It foresees that by the year 2010, 1 billion tourists would have travelled abroad and by 2020, this would have increased to 1.6 billion.

Newsfront UNDP Administrator sees Mozambique's recovery from floods Wednesday, 5 September 2001: Mozambique's Gaza Province, hit hard by floods that drove 233,000 people from their homes last year and suffering more flood damage this year, is rebuilding with outside assistance, UNDP Administrator Mark Malloch Brown reported following a visit to the area last week. The Administrator, accompanied by Abdoulie Janneh, UN Assistant Secretary-General and UNDP Regional Director for Africa, met with President Joaquim Chissano and other leaders during his visit on 27 - 29 August. The Administrator said that the "overwhelming impression" from his visit to Gaza "is that normal life has been restored and sensible improvements have been made." The recovery efforts have moved many villages from flood-prone areas to higher ground, rebuilt government infrastructure and improved water supply systems. Mr. Malloch Brown co-chaired the donor conference in Rome in May 2000, where donors promised over US$ 450 million to support flood recovery. Thus far, $360 million has been disbursed. The donors' response to the 2000 floods "was remarkable and showed confidence in the country," he said.

It may be reproduced for non-profit educational use if this notice appears on the reproduction. This paper was originally produced in 1992, prior to the INTERNET and the explosion of information it has engendered.

This paper is not meant to be a comprehensive guide to information on indigenous people. It is meant to be a guide to researching international law and indigenous peoples and ethnic minorities rights. This paper was originally delivered as part of a program on indigenous peoples rights. Other speakers, Professor George S. Grossman , and Professor Kirke Kickingbird , covered American Indians. Because of that, this paper's coverage of American Indians is limited. In 1996, Professor

Rwanda, Burundi, Democratic Republic of Congo, Congo-Brazzaville, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Uganda Regional Representatives: Vital BAMBANZE Batwa, Burundi Central Africa Colette MIKILA D.R. Congo Deputy, Central Africa Hawe BOUBA Mbororo, Cameroon Gender, Central Africa Regional Review: During the precolonial era, Bantu speaking peoples took over parts of the Pygmy territories. Under the Tutsi kings, some Batwa Pygmies served in the court as entertainers, potters and even as Royal bodyguards. During the colonial and postcolonial periods most Pygmies were ignored during state formation and economically marginalised. Due to the absence of birth certificates, Pygmies in some countries were not considered to be real citizens. Post-independence economic policies have tended to assume that development requires villagisation and sedenterisation. Across Central Africa a major concern is deforestation from logging. Private companies negotiate concessions where they are meant to do selective cutting but African governments cannot always monitor what happens in remote areas, and the results can be devastating to the environment and the forest peoples. The destruction of the forest canopy has a radical impact on the environment, leading a rapid loss of biodiversity and also endangering the lungs of the planet (See Virtanen, P et al (2002) Sustainable Forest Management. Finnish Ministry for Foreign Affairs). A major effort is being made by Western and African countries to slow down the devastation in the Congo Basin, one of the most biodiverse regions on the planet. In 2002, Gabon declared 13 national parks, including the vast Minkebe National Park. IPACC conducted a month long mission to Gabon visiting Pygmy communities to encourage them to enter into dialogue with government over the regulations relating to hunting, occupation and traditional practices in Parks and the periphery. (See Gabon section here). Baka Pygmies are also involved in WWF initiatives at Dzanga Sanga National Park in the Central African Republic. Newly formed Pygmy associations have been established in Cameroon but require organisational capacity support.

47. Defining 'Indigenous People' be used to define indigenous peoples for the purposes of any general discussion . Some African peoples are conventionally considered to be tribal http://www.nativeweb.org/info/indigenousdefined.html

Defining 'Indigenous Peoples' "There is no hard and fast distinction between indigenous peoples and other kinds of localized ethnic groups. Who then are the peoples generally considered as 'indigenous'?" David Maybury-Lewis, Indigenous Peoples, Ethnic Groups, and the State NativeWeb strives to provide quality content by and about indigenous peoples around the world. This means that we examine suggested site links to determine whether and how they relate to indigenous peoples. The difference between 'indigenous peoples' and 'ethnic groups' or 'minority groups' is sometimes difficult to determine. NativeWeb generally tries to err on the side of inclusion in deciding whether a suggested site is suitable for the database. Nevertheless, NativeWeb must respect some limits to maintain integrity and coherence. We have found that there is a spectrum ranging from sites directly related to peoples who have the distinction of living in their own lands since 'time immemorial' [indigenous peoples] to sites that relate to groups whose only distinction is that they are marginalized in the countries where they live [minority groups]. The former we generally include; the latter we generally reject. In the middle of this spectrum are a variety of sites that require careful analysis to decide whether they are proper to include in NativeWeb. The fact that a site relates to people who are ethnically or culturally different from the 'mainstream' of the country where they live does not necessarily mean the site relates to 'indigenous peoples.'

Press Release DSG/SM/256 HR/4838 IN MESSAGE TO INDIGENOUS FORUM, DEPUTY SECRETARY-GENERAL STRESSES NEED FOR CONCRETE PLAN TO IMPROVE LIVING STANDARD, RESPECT FOR HUMAN RIGHTS It is a pleasure to join you for the fourth session of the Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues.  Let me offer a special welcome to the many indigenous women and men who have joined us from all parts of the world. 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. Yet, grave challenges persist, as was noted in the recent report of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, who was the Coordinator of the first International Decade.  In many countries, indigenous people continue to be among the poorest and the most marginalized.  Like other vulnerable people, indigenous communities are often disproportionately victimized by the effects of armed conflict, adding a destructive and deadly burden to already difficult struggles.  And at the level of international law, Member States have still not adopted the declaration on the rights of indigenous peoples, despite many, many years of negotiation and advocacy.

Programme outline and application guidelines I. The ILO and Indigenous and Tribal Peoples The International Labour Organization has a long history of addressing issues relating to indigenous and tribal peoples. It is also responsible for the only international legal instruments that address directly the rights of these peoples. The ILO has 2 primary ways of working on indigenous and tribal peoples issues: Through the adoption and supervision of international standards, namely the Indigenous and Tribal Populations Convention, 1957 (No. 107), and the Indigenous and Tribal Peoples Convention, 1989 (No. 169); and II. The Inter-agency framework for the annual Indigenous Fellowship Programme of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights. The Indigenous Fellowship Programme of the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights was established in accordance with Resolution 50/157 (1995) of the United Nations General Assembly as part of the programme of activities for the International Decade of the World's Indigenous People (1995 - 2004). The ILO has, to date, participated regularly in this programme. The aim of the OHCHR programme is to give indigenous men and women the opportunity to gain knowledge in the field of international human rights in general and on indigenous rights in particular in order to assist their organizations and communities in protecting and promoting the human rights of their people.

CONIC Council of Indigenous Organizations and Nations of the Continent Consejo de Organizaciones y Naciones Indígenas del Continente Mandate of the Indigenous Peoples "All peoples have the right to self determination." These are the words of United Nations General Assembly resolution 1514, passed on December 14, 1960, in the wake of the cresting global movement to declare colonization a crime against humanity, a violation of the international law of nation states. The declaration of colonization as a violation of international law for the first time in the context of the United Nations system, placed the government states who were in violation under the scrutiny of the General Assembly. Procedures were put in place to identify criteria that would specifically describe the Non-Self-Governing Territories under colonization and also establish a reporting system for the violating government states to move these colonized peoples towards self determination. As example, the U.S. government reported to the decolonization commision, established under section 73(e) of the United Nations Charter until 1960, in the case of the territories of Alaska and Hawaii.

Indigenous and tribal peoples are often in a numerical minority living under national laws that do not address their specific situations, characteristics and needs. The ILO believes that indigenous peoples need not only their rights as workers and their right to decent work promoted and protected, but also their right to be protected from all forms of exploitation and discrimination. The ILO became involved in the plight of indigenous peoples through its examination of forced labour conditions among so-called ‘native populations’ in colonies in the 1920s – indigenous and tribal peoples were often part of the colonial workforce. The same impulse that gave rise to the ILO’s Forced Labour Convention, led to standards and development work on indigenous and tribal peoples and the adoption of the only two international instruments (then and today) relating exclusively to indigenous and tribal peoples: the
