Concluding Observations of the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination: Argentina, 18/09/97. COMMITTEE ON THE ELIMINATION OF RACIAL DISCRIMINATION Fifty-first session CONSIDERATION OF REPORTS SUBMITTED BY STATES PARTIES UNDER ARTICLE 9 OF THE CONVENTION Concluding observations of the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination Argentina 1. At its 1228th and 1229th meetings, held on 12 and 13 August 1997, the Committee considered the eleventh to fourteenth periodic reports of Argentina submitted in a single document (CERD/C/299/Add.11) and, at its 1240th and 1241st meetings, held on 20 and 21 August 1997, adopted the following concluding observations: A. Introduction 2. The Committee welcomes the opportunity to continue the dialogue with the State party on the basis of the eleventh to fourteenth periodic reports and the core document. The information provided orally by the delegation and the replies to the many questions asked by the members of the Committee filled gaps resulting from the brevity of the information contained in the report on some articles of the Convention and gave the Committee a clearer idea of the situation with regard to the implementation of the Convention in Argentina.

Globalisation opens opportunities to ethnic communities that are denied by the strict borders of Nation States and creates a greater possibility for communication and alliance, according to the experts Eduardo Bascuña and John W. Durston.

THE MAPUCHE NATION R. Marhiquewun BACKGROUND The Mapuche people were the first inhabitants of half of the area today known as Chile and Argentina. Before the Spanish arrived in 1541, the Mapuche occupied a vast territory in the "Southern Cone" of the continent and the population numbered about two million. At present they number approximately 1.5 million (constituting over 10% of the total population) in Chile, and two hundred thousand in Argentina. The Mapuche nation now constitute the third largest indigenous society in South America. HISTORY A century after their arrival, the Spanish signed the Treaty of Quillin (1641) which defined frontiers with the Mapuche nation. With the defeat of the Spanish by the newly formed states of Argentina and Chile in 1810, the original treaties of 1641 were abrogated. The new Republics instigated treaties leading to the gradual takeover of the Mapuche territory. Under the pretext of promoting civilization and Christianity, the Mapuche people suffered territorial conquest, military aggression and persecution resulting in the destruction of entire communities. At the end of the 19th century Chilean and Argentinian armies seized the Mapuche territory, a dispossession recorded in Chilean history as the "Pacification of the Araucanian", and in Argentina as the "Campaign of the Desert".

November 29 th, 2004 Today, November 29 th , 2004, at 11 am, we, Indigenous Peoples' delegates, declare a hunger strike and spiritual fast inside the United Nations Palais des Nations in Geneva, during this 3rd week of the 10 th session of the Intersessional Working Group on the United Nations Draft Declaration for the Rights on Indigenous Peoples. We, Indigenous peoples' delegates from different countries, undertake this action, with the support and solidarity of Indigenous Peoples and organizations from around the world, to call the world's attention to the continued attempts by some states, as well as this UN process itself, to weaken and undermine the Draft Declaration developed in the UN Working Group on Indigenous Populations and adopted by the UN Subcommission for the Prevention of Discrimination and Protection of Minorities in 1994. The Sub Commission text has also been endorsed and supported by hundreds of Indigenous Peoples and organizations around the world as the minimum standard required for the recognition and protection of Indigenous Peoples' rights internationally.

17 October 2000 GA/SHC/3595 DEBATING ACTIVITIES OF INTERNATIONAL DECADE OF WORLD’S INDIGENOUS PEOPLE, THIRD COMMITTEE HEARS CALLS FOR SHARPER DEFINITION OF ‘INDIGENOUS’ Distinction between Indigenous And Other Minorities Should Not Be Blurred, Says China The Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues should come up with a precise definition of indigenous peoples in order to keep their concerns separate from those of minorities, the representative of China told the Third Committee (Social, Humanitarian and Cultural) this morning as it concluded its debate on the programme of activities of the International Decade of the World's Indigenous People (1994-2004). Obscuring the concept of indigenous people, or blurring the distinction between them and other minorities, would gravely undermine the international community’s efforts to protect their rights, she added. It would also endanger the vital interests of genuine indigenous populations. The Forum should pay special attention to the historical backgrounds of indigenous people and to the unique qualities of their populations to ensure they remained intact. The indigenous people themselves should determine the name of the forum, the representative of Venezuela said, adding that the term "indigenous" in his country was a cultural rather than a racial designation. It simply referred to older cultures, those who had lived there before the Europeans arrived.

In order to avoid misinterpretations by the Argentine authorities regarding the rights of legitimate land owners, Parliament called for an amendment of the regulations governing the Pulmari Interstate Corporation and urged the PIC to refrain from handing over land to private individuals in areas which constitutionally belong to indigenous peoples. It also called on the Commission, when negotiating with Argentina and the Mercosur countries, to take into account the existence of indigenous peoples in these countries and the impact of bilateral agreements on these peoples and their environment. It expressed concern, moreover, at the human rights situation in Argentina, with particular regard to the safety of the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo, the freedom of the press and the protection of journalists and the representatives of bodies concerned with the protection of human rights and of indigenous peoples.

Argentina Thematic Reports Mechanisms of the Commission on Human Rights Disappearances, Working Group on enforced or involuntary: E/CN.4/1999/62 , paras. 39-44) During the period under review, no new cases of disappearance were transmitted by the Working Group (WG) to the government. The vast majority of the 3,453 reported cases of disappearance occurred between 1975 and 1978 under the military dictatorship, in the context of its "war against subversion". The WG received information from a number of NGOs reporting that legal redress for victims of human rights violations committed during the military dictatorship (1976-1983) had been exhausted with the amnesty laws Ley de Punto Final (Full Stop Law) (Act 23,492) of 1986 and Ley de Obediencia Debida (Law of Due Obedience) (Act 23,521) of 1987 as well as with the indultos (presidential pardons) of 1989 and 1990. These measures contributed to a climate of impunity. According to sources, new evidence has emerged since 1995, through revelations by former members of the security forces, regarding the systematic involvement of the armed forces in human rights violations. Also new information has emerged from neighbouring countries regarding past collaboration between their security forces and the Argentine military government. The report refers to new criminal proceedings against senior members of the military regime on complaints relating to the offence of abduction of minors and notes that amnestied members of the armed forces have thus been charged with an offence not covered by the amnesty laws or presidential pardons. Reference is also made to cases before the courts in Italy, pertaining to Italian citizens who disappeared in Argentina and Spain. In the latter case, a senior judge of Central Examining Court No. 5 of the Supreme Court requested that a former Argentine President be summoned to appear in an investigation opened in Spain into the disappearance of 266 Spaniards or Argentine citizens of Spanish origin or descent. The request was rejected on the grounds that the alleged events took place in Argentina and that the case could only be tried by Argentine local authorities in the exercise of their sovereign power.

Since the beginning of this era, we were decimated, and massacred. They have tried to exterminate us, or to integrate us totally into non-indigenous society here. We indigenous peoples ask that, from now on, a new era may begin, so that for the next 500 years indigenous peoples may be respected, and effectively consulted, our wishes and needs taken into account when any actions are planned which affect our lands.. Discrimination against indigenous peoples must end. It must be definitively established that we indigenous peoples are human beings and we have the right to live in agreement with our own cultural understanding. We are part of the natural world of this earth. We have therefore the right to fully participate in any plan drawn up which affects our use of our lands. The Hidrovia Paraguay-Parana project, proposed by the five governments of the region of the La Plata Basin, is like a giant monster which threatens the indigenous peoples of the region.

The Front Indigenous Unite INDIGENOUS AND TRIBAL PEOPLES from tropical forests around the world have united to create a new alliance to confront the destruction of their territories and forests. Representatives from forest-dwelling communities in the Americas, Asia and Africa formed the "International Alliance of the Indigenous-Tribal Peoples of the Tropical Forests" at a conference held in Penang, Malaysia from February 12 to 15, 1992. The conference also adopted a "Charter of the Indigenous-Tribal Peoples of the Tropical Forests." The historic new alliance unites for the first time Indians from Amazonia, Central America and the southern cone of South America, "pygmies" from Africa, tribal peoples from India and Thailand, indigenous peoples from the Philippines , "Orang Asli" and Dayak peoples from Peninsular Malaysia and Borneo, indigenous peoples from Indonesia, as well as Melanesian peoples from New Guinea. The new alliance is needed, say the forest-dwelling peoples, to confront those who are responsible for destroying their forests and undermining their livelihoods and who are already united and organized. A new unity among the peoples of the tropical forests is needed to ensure that their rights are respected in international policymaking regarding the rainforests. The Charter, which sets out the allianceÆs demands, goals and principles, advocates a new approach to development and conservation in the tropical forests based on securing the rights of the forestsÆ original inhabitants.

Peace and Justice Service (SERPAJ) Argentina, Buenos Aires, Castellano October 1, 1997 Kollas vs. Seaboard On June 18, 1997, the Kolla people of Northern Argentina publicly denounced that since December of 1996, the Seaboard Corporation has continued to violate their rights and threaten their very existence. The Kollas are a semi-nomadic group of indigenous people who have inhabited an area of the Salta province since long before Argentina was a country. They are one of the last surviving groups of indigenous people in Argentina. In 1986, after a long civil rights battle with the government, the Kollas finally won legal rights to their ancestral lands. In 1996, the U.S. based Seaboard Corporation bought the bankrupt company of San Martin of Tabacal in the Salta province. The Seaboard Corporation refused to recognize the land donation belonging to the Kollas. Instead they viewed it as property of its former owners, the Tabacal Corporation. Almost immediately, Tabacal, under the auspices of the Seaboard Corporation, began to exploit the land through logging. Extensive plans have also been made to exploit the area through tourism. The Seaboard Corporation is based in Shawnee Mission, Kansas. They are a multinational agribusiness spanning the globe, with several operations in the United States as well as in Ecuador, Nigeria, Puerto Rico, Honduras, Zaire, the Dominican Republic, Guyana, and Mozambique to name a few. They deal primarily with the production and transport of grains, poultry and pork. They operate under such well-known brand names as Holsum Bakers, Country Hearth and Olympic Kids.

As with other UN designated Decades - Women (1976-1985) and the Eradication of Colonialism (1990-2000) - the goal stated at the outset of the Indigenous Decade was ambitious: to strengthen international cooperation for the solution of problems faced by Indigenous peoples in the areas of human rights, culture, the environment, development, education and health. As the Decade comes to a close this year, it is apparent that the Decade has been remarkable only in the emptiness of the UN's rhetoric and in how so little has been done by states and international organizations to bring practical effect to their lofty rhetorical concern for Indigenous peoples. http://www.oneworld.ca/article/view/76589/1/983
