THE LACK OF PROGRESS
IN THE PROCESS OF
ADOPTING A UNIVERSAL
DECLARATION ON THE
RIGHTS OF INDIGENOUS
PEOPLES HAS BEEN OF
PROFOUND CONCERN
AND DISAPPOINTMENT
THE FULL ENJOYMENT OF
HUMAN RIGHTS BY
INDIGENOUS PEOPLES
REQUIRES NOT ONLY A
CHANGE IN LEGAL
PERCEPTIONS AND
JUDICIAL TRADITIONS, BUT
MORE OFTEN THAN NOT A
THOROUGH RETHINKING
OF THE CONCEPT OF THE
NATION STATE
MANY PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD ARE
NOT YET READY FOR THIS
TRANSFORMATION
CONFLICT
IF WE ARE ABLE TO MAKE THE 21ST
CENTURY THE AGE OF PREVENTION,
THEN THE REST OF HUMANITY MUST
ENTER INTO GREATER AND MORE
MEANINGFUL DIALOGUE WITH
INDIGENOUS PEOPLES
HUMAN RIGHTS, EMERGING NEEDS
AND NEW COMMITMENTS
CONTRIBUTING TO THE
GLOBAL AGENDA
INDIGENOUS PEOPLES
INTERNATIONAL RELATIONSHIPS
THE 400 MILLION INDIGENOUS
VOICES OF THE WORLD ARE NOT
HEARD BECAUSE WE'RE NOT
CONSIDERED TO BE PEOPLES
PEOPLES HAVE HUMAN
RIGHTS, BUT THE
UNITED NATIONS CALLS
US MINORITIES
INSULAR POPULATIONS
AND WHEN THEY TAKE THE LAND OF THE
YANOMAMI PEOPLE AND PUSH THEM
OFF, THEN THEY ARE CALLED
REFUGEES
REFUGEES,
MINORITIES AND
INSULAR POPULATIONS
DON'T HAVE HUMAN
RIGHTS
THEY DON'T HAVE THE SAME CIVIL AND
POLITICAL AND SOCIAL AND
ECONOMIC RIGHTS
THAT OTHER
PEOPLES HAVE
RIGHTS
DRAFT UNITED NATIONS
DECLARATION ON THE RIGHTS
OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES
ARTICLE 3
INDIGENOUS PEOPLES HAVE THE RIGHT
OF SELF-DETERMINATION. BY VIRTUE OF THAT RIGHT THEY
FREELY DETERMINE THEIR POLITICAL STATUS AND FREELY
PURSUE THEIR ECONOMIC, SOCIAL AND CULTURAL
DEVELOPMENT

THE FIGHT AT THE
INTERNATIONAL LEVEL
HAS BEEN OVER THE
TERM “PEOPLES” AND
THE CONNOTATION
THAT THE TERM
BRINGS UNDER
INTERNATIONAL LAW
AS WELL AS HAVING
THE RECOGNITION OF
THE RIGHT OF
INDIGENOUS PEOPLES,
THE RIGHT OF SELFDETERMINATION

INDIGENOUS PEOPLE
SELF-DETERMINATION
A NUMBER OF STATE
GOVERNMENTS STILL
REFUSE TO RECOGNIZE
OUR COLLECTIVE AND
INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS AS
PEOPLES
OUR RIGHTS ARE INSEPARABLE
FROM OUR CULTURES, WAY OF
LIFE AND OUR RELATIONSHIPS
TO OUR LANDS AND
TERRITORIES
WE ARE PEOPLES WITH THE
SAME RIGHTS AS ALL PEOPLES
TO DENY THIS IS TO
DENY WHO WE ARE
WE ARE NO LONGER
MERELY OBJECTS OF
INTERNATIONAL LAW
WE ARE SUBJECTS OF
INTERNATIONAL LAW
WE CONTINUE TO INSIST THAT
THE UNITED NATIONS APPLY ITS
OWN STANDARDS
UNIVERSALLY AND EQUALLY
HUMAN RIGHTS ARE NOT NEGOTIABLE
THE RESPONSIBILITY
LIES WITH THE
WORLD STATES TO
RESPECT AND
PROTECT THE
PRINCIPLES OF
HUMAN DIGNITY,
EQUALITY AND
EQUITY IN SOCIETY
