“We regret the fact that the timetable for the forthcoming
conference on a number of aspects not only goes beyond the parameters set by
the modalities resolution but ignores the positions of a number of states
including the Russian Federation which many times called for the need to
maintain the international nature of the General Assembly and the events under
the under the GA. Unfortunately our concerns are yet to be addressed. At the
same time the delegation of the Russian Federation continues to believe in the
need to unswerving abide by what was set down by the rights and rules
regulating the rules of such negotiations. We hope that these concerns will be
taken in account during forthcoming work on the draft outcome document.”
TRANSLATION: When the Tartars of Crimea show up at the UN,
and present before the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues regarding the
ramifications of the violations of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples as
articulated in the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (2007),
violations which could be interpreted as deliberate acts of Genocide, acts
which equally implicate the Ukraine as a state sovereignty, there is NO WAY the
Russian Federation will allow for Indigenous Peoples to be recognized as
PEOPLES EQUAL to ALL OTHER PEOPLES in international procedures of the UN (a global
system of state sovereignty established in 1648 under the Treaty of Wesphalia)
when such recognition would not only call into question the territorial
integrity of the Crimean peninsula, but the violations of Human Rights and
Territorial Rights of Indigenous Peoples across the entire land base of the
Russian Federation as a whole.
The ZERO DRAFT is just that: NOTHING of the drafting process
is to the benefit of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
When the door closes, and the Final Outcome Document of this
draft under UN International Procedures go into SILENCE MODE, the Rights of
Indigenous Peoples will be an issue for the states to redefine on their own
terms and the Nations of Indigenous Peoples themselves will be left outside
facing the cold reality of having to contend with a strategy of collusion and
co-optation by the UN states to subvert the UN Declaration on the Rights of
Indigenous Peoples and prevent the International Human Rights referenced in the
UNDRIP from ever becoming formalized in a UN CONVENTION.
"The
HLPM is a semiotic schema (doctrine)
being constructed to contextualize the process of INDIGENOUS CONSENT inside the Westphalian
System of the Divine Right of States in order to subvert and domesticate
the Universal Human Right in
International Law of Indigenous Peoples, equal to all other peoples of the
world."
We
deny consent.
