The report, Memoria II , comprises papers and innovative proposals that were presented at the Second International Seminar on the Administration of Justice and Indigenous Peoples, held in Guatemala in September 1998. The paper was published jointly by the World Bank, the Inter-American Institute of Human Rights, the International Labor Organization, and the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency.

World Bank, 19911 Why Focus on the Indigenous? Indigenous people are found throughout the world. The United Nations estimates that more than 300 million indigenous people live in more than 70 countries. Most indigenous groups share the demographic profile of developing countries where youth, defined as those aged 10 to 24 years, comprise the largest segment of the population. In addition, these groups tend to be poor, rural, and left out of the process of economic development. Although there are vast differences among indigenous peoples, all have a traditional culture that is distinct from the national culture of their country; some may identify with an ethnic group with ties to an historical homeland.

Extractions: Indigenous people are called "first peoples", tribal peoples, aboriginals and autochthons. They have a historical continuity with pre-invasion and pre-colonial societies that developed on their territories. They consider themselves distinct from other sectors of society now prevailing in those territorities. There are at least 5,000 indigenous groups made up of 300 million people, that live in more than 70 countries on five continents. The Shavante Indians live in a remote village on the Pimentel Barbosa Reservation located on a tributary of the Amazon in Mato Grosso, Brazil. The photographs of the Shavante people are by Joseane Daher and were taken during an anthropological expedition sponsored by the American Museum of Natural History, New York).

Extractions: During the reporting period, negotiations between the Government of Guatemala and the Unidad Revolucionaria Nacional Guatemalteca (URNG) have continued under the auspices of the United Nations. While advances in the process have been uneven, the establishment of the United Nations Mission for the Verification of Human Rights and of Compliance with the Commitments of the Comprehensive Agreement on Human Rights in Guatemala (MINUGUA) and the signing of the Agreement on Identity and Rights of Indigenous Peoples are encouraging developments. Taking into account progress made during the first half of 1994 as well as Commission on Human Rights resolution 1994/58, I recommended to the General Assembly in my report of 18 August 1994 (A/48/985) the earliest establishment of a human rights verification mission in Guatemala. On 19 September 1994, by resolution 48/267, the Assembly established MINUGUA for an initial period of six months, and I appointed Mr. Leonardo Franco as the Mission's Director. MINUGUA was officially inaugurated in November 1994. With eight regional offices, five subregional offices and an authorized strength of 245 international staff, the Mission represents a significant effort by the United Nations in human rights verification and institution-building. It is also the most tangible result so far of the talks between the Government of Guatemala and URNG. After the signing of five agreements between January and June 1994, the pace of the negotiations slowed down during the last six months of the year. On 28 December 1994, I expressed my concern to the General Assembly and the Security Council and stated that the time-frame originally foreseen for the conclusion of a peace agreement would have to be revised. In addition, I wrote to the parties to ask them to renew their commitment to the process and to indicate the steps they would be prepared to take to allow it to regain momentum.

Extractions: Documents menu We like to think of the UN as a world government that is responsible for a kind of universal sovereignty laws that transcend the jurisdictions of individual States, or perhaps, law that cannot be entrusted to the single responsibility of individual States. In fact, if we examine the history of the UN, it is obvious that it was founded to establish and enforce a higher standard of ethical and moral behavior than individual States may practice. We all know that the establishment of the UN in San Francisco directly at the end of the Second World War, was in reaction to the horrors of the Nazi regime. The founding principle of the UN is that States do not have ultimate sovereignty with regard to the basic human rights and fundamental freedoms of their inhabitants; that this ultimate sovereignty is surrendered to the world body, and that although each State retains the responsibility to uphold and enforce human rights law, all States are subject to international oversight in this regard, and if necessary, international intervention. The speeches that were made at the founding of the UN note that the need for the world to act in solidarity against Hitler's Germany was this same principle of world solidarity that was applied to the apartheid regime in South Africa, resulting in the very positive developments that have occurred there recently. Of course there was no UN when Columbus landed in the so-called

The International Indian Treaty Council and its affiliate Coordination of Mayan Peoples Organization of Guatemala, -COPMAGUA- wish to contribute some reflections to the discussion of the Draft declaration on the rights of Indigenous Peoples. This draft is the result of the consensus of hundreds of Indigenous Peoples and their organization from different parts of the world, who find themselves here at these deliberations, who once more reaffirm our commitment to the adoption of the total and integral text of the Draft Declaration approved by the Working Group on Indigenous Populations and the Sub-Commission for the Prevention of Discrimination and Protection of Minorities. The contents of the draft represents the most fundamental, albeit minimal acceptable standards for the recognition, protection and promotion of the rights of Indigenous Peoples. For this reason our delegation urges the representatives of the states to reach consensus for the approval of the

http://www.itpcentre.org/env_mayan.htm

Extractions: FULL REPORT (Spanish) The Mayan Forestry Action Plan is a process of consultation on forestry and agriculture with farmers and Mayan women in Guatemala. The consultations are carried out through meetings in forestry regions with leaders of diverse communities and conducted in the languages of the areas. There have been meetings covering seven language areas. In these meetings the participants analyze problems of forestry and environment from their own perspective and put forward solutions. This is possible because a team visits the communities to explain the meeting's work and processes and to ask the residents to select participants. During the meetings villages elect delegates to the National Mayan Forestry Congress where they analyze, discuss and modify or approve the plans and actions derived from the regional meetings. The results constitute the Forestry and Environment Development Plan of the Mayan People of Guatemala. Critical Issues and Priorities The general objectives which Guatemala has set are lasting peace, participatory democracy and sustained development (in terms of economic growth and distribution of growth). It is within these national objectives that we must place the following objectives for rural development :

Extractions: Indigenous and Environmental Legislation and its Relation to Sustainable Development Introduction In the present evolving process of humanity, the need to respect the relationship between human development and a environmental sustainability is seen as the only way to assure the future of the planet, after centuries of applying a development philosophy that has been detrimental to nature. At the same time, international standards and national legislation have unfolded on diverse ecological issues, with the purpose of regulating economic activities that destroy the environment. Nonetheless, legal implementation is not, in reality, free of contradictions that hinder the effective advancement in the field of environmental protection. Considering the aforementioned reasons, the Earth Council, with the support of the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the Small Grants Program of the World Bank, held a technical consultation on Indigenous Rights, Environmental Legislation and Sustainable Development . The conference took place last June in San Jose, Costa Rica and gathered indigenous lawyers and experts from Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Panama and Peru.
