Estimados Miembros
del Foro Permanente y los Pueblos Indígenas reunidos,
En primer lugar queremos extender nuestras felicitaciones a la Presidenta
nuevamente electa del Foro y ofrecer nuestro más sincero agradecimiento a todos
los aquí presentes, incluyendo el espíritu de nuestros ancestros y de las
generaciones futuras. Hacemos un llamado a ellos ahora, sobre todo los que nos
han sido tomado injustamente antes de su tiempo natural, y hacemos un llamado a
sus espíritus para guiar nuestro trabajo aquí juntos mientras nos esforzamos
por cumplir con nuestro mandato como Pueblos Indígenas de la Madre Tierra.
Hacemos un llamado al Foro Permanente
para tratar el tema de la desaparición forzada de los 43 estudiantes normalistas
de Ayotzinapa, Guerrero, México, desaparecidos desde el 26 de septiembre 2014,
y recomendar que el Foro adopte las medidas adecuadas con respecto a la
impunidad bajo la cual esta atrocidad ha sido saneado por agentes del Estado,
tanto a nivel nacional como internacional. En especial, un llamado al gobierno de
México a invitar a la Relatora Especial de la ONU sobre los Derechos de los
Pueblos Indígenas para venir a México y reunirse con nosotros en relación con
el tema de la continua desaparición forzada de la juventud Indígena en México,
el uso deliberado y sistemático de la tortura, y todas las formas de violencia
estatal contra los Pueblos Indígenas.
Señora Presidenta:
Nuestra recomendación sobre este tema del programa en particular en relación
con los Derechos Humanos se refiere a la necesidad de que los mecanismos del
sistema de las Naciones Unidas en su conjunto se alinean para producir una
reforma sistémica que abordará las políticas de reconocimiento de nuestro
Derecho a la Libre determinación como "Pueblos Indígenas, igual a todos los
demás pueblos ...."
Implícito en esta declaración, es el principio fundamental expresado en la Declaración
de la ONU sobre los Derechos de los Pueblos Indígenas del reconocimiento de
nuestro derecho inherente de Libre determinación, y el ejercicio de ese derecho
no sólo en el contexto del sistema de la ONU, pero más allá en el campo de la
realidad de nuestras Naciones Originarias de los Pueblos Indígenas de la Madre
Tierra.
Trabajando hacia este objetivo, le comunicamos que los mecanismos establecidos
dentro del sistema de las Naciones Unidas en materia de derechos económicos,
sociales y culturales no serán competentes para asegurar o entregar
protecciones para el ejercicio pleno, libre y eficaz de estos derechos hasta
que el problema subyacente de la colonización de las Naciones Originarias de los
Pueblos Indígenas se presente como una violación de la Resolución 1514 de la
Asamblea General de la ONU, junto con los mecanismos de descolonización
especificados en esta Resolución ONU 1541.
Presentamos este punto en apoyo al llamado al Foro Permanente para avanzar
hacia una METODOLOGÍA de DESCOLONIZACIÓN con un enfoque sistémico, que también
surge de la COGNICIÓN y entonces así el reconocimiento de que el sistema de la
ONU en sí, al igual que todas las instituciones de los humanos mortales, es
también atado al ciclo de nacimiento, vida y muerte que es la naturaleza de la
realidad y la realidad de la naturaleza de todos los seres de nuestro planeta,
nuestra sagrada Madre Tierra.
Hemos escuchado anteriormente en esta sesión las trágicas historias de cómo
nuestros hijos, nuestros jóvenes, nuestras familias y naciones se han visto
afectadas por la violencia internalizada normalizada por los paradigmas sociales,
culturales y económicos de dominación que son la cruel realidad de la colonización y
genocidio de nuestras Naciones Indígenas hoy en día.
Al abordar esta cuestión, hacemos un llamado al Foro Permanente para servir
como una plataforma ejemplar con el sistema de la ONU para permitir que el concepto
y la identidad de los Pueblos Indígenas como "Pueblos, igual a todos los
demás pueblos ...." sea instituido sin la discriminación sistémica,
planificada o no, que reduce nuestra participación dentro del sistema de la ONU
a la categoría de "Cuestiones Indígenas" como es todavía evidente en
esta Decimocuarta Sesión del Foro, a pesar de las repetidas intervenciones
sobre este tema en el transcurrido de los muchos años.
Gracias Señora Presidenta.
First of all we wish to extend our congratulations to the newly elected President of the Forum and offer our heartfelt appreciation to all present, including the spirit of those of our ancestors and future generations. We call upon them now, especially those who have been taken from us unjustly before their natural time, and we call upon their spirits to guide our work here together as we strive to fulfill our Mandate as Indigenous Peoples of Mother Earth.
We call upon the Permanent Forum to address the issue of the forced disappearance of the 43 Normalista students of Ayotzinapa, Guerrero, Mexico missing since September 26, 2014 and recommend that the Forum take appropriate measures regarding the impunity under which this atrocity has been sanitized by agents of the state, both nationally and internationally. We specifically call upon the Country of Mexico to invite the UN Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples to come to Mexico and meet with us regarding the issue of the ongoing enforced disappearance of Indigenous youth in Mexico, the deliberate and systematic use of torture, and all forms of state violence against Indigenous Peoples.
Madam Chairperson,
Our recommendation on this particular agenda item related to Human Rights addresses the need for the mechanisms of the UN system as a whole to be brought into a process of alignment that will eventually produce systemic reform to address the basic recognition of our Right to Self Determination as "Indigenous Peoples, equal to all other peoples...."
Implicit in this statement, a fundamental principle articulated in the UN Declaration on the rights of Indigenous Peoples is the recognition of our Inherent Right of Self Determination, and the exercise of that right not only within the context of the UN system, but beyond into the realm of reality that is the agenda of our Original Nations of Indigenous Peoples of Mother Earth.
Working towards this goal, we state that the mechanisms established within the UN system in terms of economic, social and cultural rights will not be competent to assure or deliver protections for the full, free, and effective exercise of these rights until the underlying issue of colonization of the Original Nations of Indigenous Peoples is brought forward as a violation of UNGA 1514, along with the decolonization mechanisms specified in UN 1541.
We make this point in support of the call for the UNPFII to move towards a METHODOLOGY of DECOLONIZATION with a systemic approach, that also emerges from the COGNITION and then thus recognition that the UN system itself, as are all institutions of mortal humans, is also tied to the cycle of birth, life, and death that is the nature of reality and the reality of nature for all beings on this our home planet, our Sacred Mother Earth.
We have heard earlier in this session the tragic stories of how our children, our youth, our families and nations have been affected by the internalized violence normalized by the social, cultural, and economic paradigms of domination that are the reality of the ongoing colonization and genocide of our Indigenous Nations today.
In addressing this issue, we call upon the UN Permanent Forum to serve as an exemplary platform with the UN system to allow the concept and identity of Indigenous Peoples as "Peoples, equal to all other peoples...." be instituted without the system wide discrimination planned or not, that reduces our participation within the UN system to the category of "Indigenous Issues" as is still evident in this 14th session of the Forum in spite of repeated interventions on this recommendation over the many years.
Thank you Madam Chair.
