Resource Center: Documents - Conventions ILO Convention 107 This convention preceded ILO 169 and was adopted by the International Labour Organization in 1957. ILO Convention 169 ILO Convention 169 (ILO C 169) on Indigenous and Tribal Peoples was adopted by the International Labour Conference in 1989, replacing the earlier convention adopted in 1957 (ILO C 107). The convention presumes that indigenous peoples have the right to decide their own priorities for development and to exercise control over and participate in the process of development. ILO Convention 169 is the only international instrument addressing indigenous peoples which has a binding effect, but only upon the governments of the countries which have ratified it. This Convention is the main source of standards used by the majority of development agencies in devising their operational guidelines, and, second because its provisions serve as internal guidelines to ILO in its development cooperation activities. Convention on Biodiversity Article 8(j) The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) was adopted in Nairobi, Kenya on 22nd of May 1992 and was opened for signature and signed during United Nations Conference on Environment and Development by over 150 countries. The Convention is a legally binding agreement for conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity. It came into force in December 1993. It was through this Convention that the international community acknowledged that environmental protection had to go hand in hand with economic development. Unplanned development, inappropriate land use, introduced species and an unsustainable use of species were identified as some of the factors leading to the loss of biodiversity. The CBD has 3 main objectives: 1) the conservation of biological diversity; 2) the sustainable use of biological resources; and 3) the fair and equitable sharing of the benefits arising out of the utilization of genetic resources.

Biodiversity in Action! The Spice of Life at the Peoples Earth Summit A unique biodiversity exhibit hosted by Biowatch South Africa Venue: St. Stithians College, Sandton, JHB Date: 26 August - 4 September Variety is not only the spice of life, it is essential for life. Biodiversity is the “web of life”; it encompasses all species of plants, animals and micro-organisms, their variety, uniqueness and the way they interact with one another for the benefit of the whole. More biodiversity means a vibrant, healthy ecosystem that is better able to support all life. The indigenous peoples of the world have nurtured and maintained biodiversity throughout the ages, realising that if they take care of the earth, it responds in kind. As a result, the third world is endowed with magnificent biodiversity and deep knowledge about how to interact with it in a sustainable and beneficial manner. Biodiversity in Action is an interactive space to celebrate the immense wealth of natural resources we have in the South, as well as the knowledge and innovation of humankind in using these resources for food, shelter, medicine and art. The Space Feel at home and be inspired, this interactive exposition at St. Stithians will appeal to all of the senses.

WORLD CONFERENCE AGAINST RACISM (WCAR), Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia, and Related Intolerance CONFERENCE COVERAGE RACISM AND INDIGENOUS PEOPLES Recognizing that Indigenous peoples are subjected to racism and racial discrimination, and have been and continue to be the victims of genocide, colonization, exclusion, marginalization and the dispossession of our lands, territories and resources. Excerpt from Preamble Article 22 - Indigenous people have experienced discrimination within the WCAR. There has been a consistent refusal to recognize Indigenous peoples as peoples with the right of self determination and a refusal to ensure the full, direct and effective participation of Indigenous peoples at all stages of the WCAR. Article 23 - The WCAR Declaration and Programme of Action must be formulated with the full participation of Indigenous peoples and must include sufficient detail regarding Indigenous peoples' concerns and recommended actions.
