External Relations and Partnerships Events in the international community United Nations General Assembly 57th Session, New York, 2002 ILO Indigenous and Tribal Peoples: A Guide to ILO Convention No. 169 Indigenous and Tribal Peoples Convention 1989 (No. 169) Indigenous and Tribal Populations Convention 1957 (No. 107) INDISCO Programme Statements made by the ILO Index Statement by Caroline Lewis, ILO Liaison Office, New York Agenda Item 106: Programme of activities of the International Decade of the World’s Indigenous People The world’s 350 million indigenous and tribal peoples are frequently the most impoverished and disadvantaged groups in any country. 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

Indeed international human rights law and democratic institutions are currently being set aside and basic human rights compromised as national security laws are invoked. In addition to the growing preoccupation with national security and global terrorism, governments around the world continue to emphasize the liberalization of the world's economy and the search for greater profits, which have also had a negative impact on human rights. States are spending more time ensuring compliance with WTO rules than with human rights treaties. The primacy of international human rights law must govern the world's response to September 11, its approach to economic globalization, as well as to the pursuit for peace in the Middle East.

General Essay on the Religions of Sub-Saharan Africa Religion in Sub-Saharan Africa has changed and evolved over the last two to three thousand years in many different ways. While the traditions depicted in this chart provide examples of those that exist today, and that were affected by the expansion of European colonialism in the 19th century, peoples living in the vast area south of the Sahara desert had already sustained rich systems of belief and practice long before the arrival of Christianity and colonialism, and certainly in some cases befroe the Muslim expansion from the Arabian peninsula. Islam entered Sub-Saharan Africa in the eighth century, and within six hundred years of the prophet's death had penetrated from the Sahara to the Sudanic belt, and from the Atlantic to the Red Sea, making its presence felt among the indigenous peoples who inhabited this expanse. Other transplanted religions have had virtually no impact upon Sub-Saharan traditions. With the exception of Judaism, these did not make any permanent incursion into the region until the 19th or 20th centuries. The chart suggests three wide areas of religious beliefs and practices: (I) Indigenous African religions; (II) World Religions (Baha'i, Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Jainism, Sikhism and Zorastrianism); (III) New Religious Traditions (African Independent Churches).

19. Defining 'Indigenous People' are not so easy to draw in Europe or Asia or africa. criteria that must be used todefine indigenous peoples for the purposes of any general discussion. 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.'

From Alaska to Baja California to the San Andreas Islands of Colombia, from the Saami region of Scandinavia to Siberia to the Maluccas of Indonesia, and from across Africa and Australia, such representatives spoke of abuses ranging from proscription of traditional languages to usurpation of lands to genocide, while suggesting means for the new Forum to promote their common rights in a draft Declaration and throughout the United Nations system. Representatives of some United Nations Member States were also present to listen and contribute their perspectives. A common theme that ran through the discussion today was that general notions of human rights, as well as existing human rights instruments, could serve as a framework for indigenous rights.
