Who We Are... The Center for World Indigenous Studies (CWIS) is an independent, non-profit [U.S. 501(c)(3)] research and education organization dedicated to wider understanding and appreciation of the ideas and knowledge of indigenous peoples and the social, economic and political realities of indigenous nations. The Center fosters better understanding between peoples through the publication and distribution of literature written and voiced by leading contributors from Fourth World Nations. An important goal of CWIS is to establish cooperation between nations and to democratize international relations between nations and between nations and states Dr. Rudolph C. Ryser, Ph.D. (a member of the Cowlitz Tribe ) and Chief George Manuel (1929-1989) of the Shuswap Nation founded CWIS as an independent organization in the Spring of 1984 in response to calls by the Conference of Tribal Governments in the United States and the World Council of Indigenous Peoples for a documents center. Concerned with the advancement of ideas for solving social, economic and political problems in the Fourth World, the Center for World Indigenous Studies links voluntary contributors world-wide and conducts original research, education, conflict resolution symposia and conferences benefiting constructive relations between nations, and nations and states.

Indigenous Peoples: A Backgrounder Issues such as globalization, sustainable development and the UN Millennium Development goals are the subject of debate in many academic communities. This is a chance to discuss these issues with African Indigenous women whose daily lives and political work reflect a community-based and human-rights centered approach to ensuring environmental sustainability, HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment, and confronting the debt burden facing countries in the Global South. In Kenya, as in the rest of Africa, the question of who is Indigenous can be a contentious one. Many outside actors, including governments, have a motivation to narrowly define Indigenous Peoples in an attempt to avoid struggles over land and self-determination. African Indigenous Peoples generally distinguish themselves based on their present-day position as Peoples who maintain traditional pastoral and/or nomadic cultures and, as a result, are marginalized by the dominant society. Indigenous women also face discrimination within their own communities. As those primarily responsible for preserving their Peoples' natural resources and traditional knowledge, however, Indigenous women hold the keys to combating poverty and creating strategies for sustainable development, both in their communities and beyond.

The court case involved 3000 Rictersveld people who live in Northern Cape Province and are from the Nama subgroup of Khoikhoi peoples, who lived in the area until the 1950s when they were evicted to make way for diamond mine which is now owned by the South African government. Five years ago a group of indigenous people took the both the government and the mining company to court, claiming ownership rights over the 85,000 hectares of land and its resources, but they lost the case. However the latest decision by the constitutional court states that people who own land under unwritten law retain their rights despite other legal systems, which are subsequently imposed by the state.

Latin America Legal Documents USA Patriot Act 2001 The US Congress adopted the USA Patriot Act in October 2001 to provide "appropriate tools required to intercept and obstruct terrorism." Critics of the Act argue that it seriously threatens civil liberties and freedoms in the US. European Arrest Warrant (EAW) The EU has substituted current extradition law within the EU member states with the EAW to facilitate the arrest of terrorists and other criminals. However, the extensive application of the EAW to a very wide area of crimes raises fears that the law will threaten civil liberties. Anti-terrorism, Crime and Security Act 2001 In the aftermath of September 11, UK Prime Minister Tony Blair declared he would stand "shoulder to shoulder" with US President George W. Bush in the "war against terrorism." The UK parliament passed the "Anti-terrorism, Crime and Security Act 2001" (ATCSA) to increase authorities' powers to protect UK citizens from terrorist attacks. Yet, like the US Patriot Act, ATCSA poses serious threats to civil liberty rights.
