El 21 de marzo de cada año se conmemora el Día internacional de la eliminación de la discriminación racial proclamado por las Naciones Unidas. Este día fue proclamado para recordar que en 1960, la policía abrió fuego y mató a 69 personas en una manifestación pacífica contra las leyes que apoyaban el apartheid en Sudáfrica y Namibia.

Governments or states make use of geographical boundaries to demarcate territories. Political entities come to agreements on which area belongs to whom. In some cases, borders are agreed upon by two countries, and in other cases it may have been suggested by a third party like an international conference.  In many cases, borders are imposed on places, without taking into consideration the people who live in that area. In this program, we speak to Aslak Holmberg from the Saami Council in Finland, who tells us how borders have affected his life, as well as his environment.

After a six year stint as special rapporteur, according to her, the mandate was “an uphill battle.” In this program we hear more from Victoria on her tenure as Special Rapporteur.

The COVID-19 pandemic poses a great danger to humanity, including the indigenous peoples of Africa.

If the spread of the virus is not urgently arrested and is allowed to infect African indigenous communities, the virus may decimate our member communities.

Africa’s Indigenous Peoples are extremely vulnerable to the dreaded virus, owing to a lack of essential resources such as clean water, food, housing, medical supplies and even basic information.

States must obtain Free, Prior and Informed Consent from Indigenous Peoples before taking legislative or administrative measures which will affect them.
