On the right to redress for past injustices
3. On the right to means of subsistence and to development
Closely connected to land and resource rights are the right to particular forms of livelihood and development. Article 20 of the UNDRIP addresses this: Article 20 1. Indigenous peoples have the right to maintain and develop their political, economic and social systems or institutions, to be secure in the enjoyment of their own means of subsistence and development, and to engage freely in all their traditional and other economic activities. 2. Indigenous peoples deprived of their means of subsistence and development are entitled to just and fair redress. LINKS The same three international legal instruments mentioned above contain provisions that are relevant for the recognition of indigenous economic systems and means of sub- sistence. • ILO Convention No. 169 • International Covenant on Social, Economic and Cultural Rights ICSECR • ILO Convention No. 1114. On the recognition of indigenous peoples’ conservation and protection of the environ- ment
A separate article addresses environmental conservation issues, providing for the overall right to conserve and protect the environment on their lands and territories. The article however also provides for the more specific right to oppose the disposal of hazardous materials on their lands and territories. Article 29 1. Indigenous peoples have the right to the conservation and protection of the environment and the productive capacity of their lands or territories and resources. States shall establish and implement assistance programmes for indigenous peoples for such conservation and protection, without discrimination. 2. States shall take effective measures to ensure that no storage or disposal of hazardous ma- terials shall take place in the lands or territories of indigenous peoples without their free, prior and informed consent. 3. States shall also take effective measures to ensure, as needed, that programmes for mon- itoring, maintaining and restoring the health of indigenous peoples, as developed and imple- mented by the peoples affected by such materials, are duly implemented. Module-4 RIGHTS AIPP AIPP Regional Capacity Building Program - Training Manual on the UNDRIP LINKS The rights of indigenous peoples and their contribution to the conservation of biodi- versity has been explicitly recognized in Agenda 21 adopted at the World Conservation Congress in Rio de Janeiro in 1992, and the UN Convention on Biological Diversity in particular article 8j.5. On land, territory, resources and the right to self-determination
Inseparably linked to the recognition of the right to land, territory and resources are provi- sions for basic rights to self-determination, representation and decision-making. These are more extensively dealt with in a separate module on self-determination. They include the following. Article 18 Indigenous peoples have the right to participate in decision-making in matters which would affect their rights, through representatives chosen by themselves in accordance with their own procedures, as well as to maintain and develop their own indigenous decision-making institu- tions. Article 19 States shall consult and cooperate in good faith with the indigenous peoples concerned through their own representative institutions in order to obtain their free, prior and informed consent before adopting and implementing legislative or administrative measures that may af- fect them. LINKS The UNDRIP is so far the only international legal instrument that explicitly recognizes indigenous peoples’ territorial rights and right to self-determination. Article 1 of the Charter of the United Nations, however, upholds the self-determination of peoples as one of the UN’s basic principles. According to the Charter, the second purpose of the UN is: To develop friendly relations among nations based on respect for the principle of equal rights and self-determination of peoples, and to take other appropriate measures to strengthen universal peace. Indigenous peoples have ever since fought hard to be equally recognized as peoples, and therefore be granted the right to self-determination.Parts
