Cada 20 de junio Naciones Unidas conmemora un suceso que ocurre de manera frecuente en el mundo. Para muchos puede pasar desapercibido, ser visto como una molestia y despertar xenofobia, pero para el que lo vive es un completo calvario. 
Tener que dejar tu tierra, tu familia, tu cultura y forma de vida de la noche a la mañana para convertirte en un refugiado en otra patria que muchas veces ni siquiera comparte idioma contigo es solamente una mirada superficial a la dura experiencia que puede enfrentar un refugiado y que vale destacar que no es lo mismo que ser migrante.

The right to Free, Prior and Informed Consent is stated in national and international laws, and can be applied in defence of lands and territories when there is a project that will cause irreparable damage.

El 23 de diciembre de 1994, la Asamblea General de las Naciones Unidas decidió, en su resolución 49/214, que el Día Internacional de los Pueblos Indígenas del Mundo se celebrará el 9 de agosto de cada año. La fecha marca la primera reunión del Grupo de Trabajo de la ONU sobre Poblaciones Indígenas, en 1982.

There are over 476 million Indigenous Peoples living in 90 countries across the world, accounting for 6.2 percent of the global population. Indigenous Peoples are the holders of a vast diversity of unique cultures, traditions, languages, and knowledge systems. They have a special relationship with their lands and hold diverse concepts of development based on their own worldviews and priorities.

Every year on August 9, International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples marks the ‘first formal meeting’ of the UN Working Group on Indigenous Populations, held back in 1982. It is celebrated to bring attention to the 476 million Indigenous Peoples living in 90 countries across the globe. This year’s theme is `Leaving no one Behind: Indigenous Peoples and the call for a social contract.” The term social contract in relation to Indigenous Peoples may be confusing as this has not yet been discussed much.

The International Day for People of African Descent will be celebrated for the first time on August 31, 2021.

Diana Morat from Eldos FM interviews Tauriq Jenkins on the saga of Amazon.com who wants to set up shop in Cape Town, South Africa. The piece of land that has been identified by Amazon has become a bone of contention. First Nations have a strong claim to this land because in 1510 it was the site of the first battle between the Khoi and European colonizers - in this instance the Portuguese Viceroy of India, Francisco d'Almeida. This is sacred land. The issues are of human rights, of heritage, of water and flora and fauna, of recreation and refreshment, of air and stars.

The right to Free, Prior and Informed Consent clearly states that the government should not force people to change their method of organisation, thinking, or decision making, nor spread inaccurate information to misinform Indigenous Peoples.
