“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.

*********************************
We call for the restitution of the primary source materials and testimony that was lent to the United Nations system as
fundamental to the evidence in document form of the systemic (system to system)
nature of the legal relationships between the Nations of Indigenous Peoples and
the member states of the UN system for the purpose of the Treaty Study conducted by Dr. Miguel Alfonso Martinez of Cuba.
Such delivery, should be an initial act of good faith in terms of the
continuing processes of systemic documentation among the Nations of Indigenous
Peoples and the UN system prior to and
as a necessary act of condition to allow for the full and effective participation of the Indigenous Peoples with the
High Level Plenary Meeting on an equal basis and without systemic discrimination in the process of producing the Final
Outcome Document of the High Level Plenary Meeting of the General Assembly
2014.

The UN General Assembly High-level Plenary Meeting 2014
IS
NOT A UN CONFERENCE.
It is a schema of the states which is actively and openly
but unrealistically being promoted to be named a CONFERENCE, in the same
degrading naming process that we became known as INDIANS, AMERICA, AMERICAN
INDIANS, LATIN AMERICA, etc. The HLPM is
a semiotic schema (doctrine) being constructed to contextualize the process
INDIGENOUS CONSENT inside the Westphalian System of the Divine Right of States
in order to domesticate the Universal Human Right in International Law of
Indigenous Peoples, equal to all other peoples of the world.
We are Nations of Mother Earth, and will not consent to be
diminished or to be dominated under the regime of the government states of the
UN system as mere ethnic groups, or minorities.
WE DENY CONSENT.

Good Governance
and the
Territorial Integrity of Mother Earth
Therefore, in view of the High-level Plenary Meeting of the UN in 2014 and in relation to the interactive dialogue on the special theme of Good Governance of the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, 2014, the Permanent Forum should address without discrimination violations of the right to self-determination and full and equal participation of Indigenous Peoples, equal to all other peoples in the concept, design, implementation and evaluation of each and every one of the UN actions and policies that involve our Indigenous Peoples and the protection of our collective rights. In particular, regional trade agreements among member states of the UN, such as the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the imminent threat of Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPP for short English) should be juridically evaluated as instruments that violate of the right of Full and Equal Pariticipation as Peoples, equal to all other peoples.
Likewise, in evaluating with these same criteria the UNHLPM 2014, the lack of respect and consideration to be considered in Equality as Peoples with all other Peoples in the proceedings is evident from conception, completely absent from the design, not even being considered in the implementation, and there are no mechanisms integrate equality in the evaluation of the HLPM 2014 which is not a UN conference. We see individual advisors being selected by extractive and non-representational processes, international peons whose role in the projected UN High Level Plenary Meeting of States of the General Assembly, which arrogantly is to be known as World Conference on Indigenous Peoples, is to repeat what the states have scripted to be told, facilitating the assault of neo-liberal colonization by the corporations that dictate the policies of the states, and whose role is to provide legitimacy for development projects which the international financial consortia require in order to market the concept that there is justice and consent of indigenous peoples.

H.E. MARJON V.KAMARA: African Group Statement HLPM
AFRICAN GROUP
STATEMENT ON THE INFORMAL
CONSULTATION ON THE ORGANIZATION OF THE HIGH LEVEL PLENARY MEETING
OF THE SIXTY-NINTH SESSION OF THE GENERAL
ASSEMBLY, TO BE KNOWN AS THE WORLD CONFERENCE ON INDIGENOUS PEOPLE:
DELIVERED BY: H.E. MARJON V.KAMARA, PERMANENT REPRESENTATIVE OF THE REPUBLIC
OF LIBERIA TO THE UNITED NATIONS
Mr.
President,
On behalf of the African Group which I represent for the month,
I wish to thank you immensely for the efforts
you have personally made in convening
this informal dialogue
on the "organization of high-level plenary meeting of the sixty ninth session
of the General Assembly, to be known as the World Conference on Indigenous
People". This is a recognition of the importance your presidency attaches
to ameliorating the grave plight of the estimated
370 million indigenous people the world over.
We recall Mr. President, that the General Assembly in 2004, proclaimed the Second International Decade of the World's Indigenous People (2005-2014) . That decade is almost past but the conditions of indigenous people remain grim, severe and staid. Indigenous people continue to face threats as their social, cultural, economic
and political distinctiveness are eroded. This therefore behooves us to begin critical reflection
and dialogue on how to surmount the challenges
to achieving the decade.
Mr. President,
The African Group supports
the idea of consulting all stakeholders including
civil society, nongovernmental organizations, academia, national
human rights institutions and parliamentarians, as a crucial
exercise in sharing
views on the contents of the Conference's Outcome document and their participation in the conference
proceedings. However, Africa
is
constrained to withhold its participation in this current deliberation due to its lingering
concerns about the framework.
As you may recall Mr. President, prior to this meeting, the African Group had raised with you specific
concerns about the need to safeguard the sanctity of the inter-governmental character of the process. The Group noted that regrettably, the framework you proposed did not take cognizance of this
very critical principle.
It is our concern
that the framework
under which this consultation is taking place could set an unhealthy
precedent that could unwittingly affect the very essence of the inter-governmental negotiation process as it has evolved thus far.
I THANK
YOU
