The development and adoption of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) was a huge success for the global indigenous movement. This book offers an insightful and nuanced contemporary evaluation of the progress and challenges that indigenous peoples have faced in securing the implementation of this new instrument, as well as its normative impact, at both the national and international levels. The chapters in this collection offer a multi-disciplinary analysis of the UNDRIP as it enters the second decade since its adoption by the UN General Assembly in 2007. Following centuries of resistance by Indigenous peoples to state, and state sponsored, dispossession, violence, cultural appropriation, murder, neglect and derision, the UNDRIP is an achievement with deep implications in international law, policy and politics. In many ways, it also represents just the beginning – the opening of new ways forward that include advocacy, activism, and the careful and hard-fought crafting of new relationships between Indigenous peoples and states and their dominant populations and interests. This book was originally published as a special issue of The International Journal of Human Rights.

Facharbeit (Schule) aus dem Jahr 2011 im Fachbereich Medien / Kommunikation - Multimedia, Internet, neue Technologien, Bildungszentrum Markdorf - Gymnasium -, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Was Facebook ausmacht, ist meines Erachtens nicht der kometenhafte Aufstieg, den es ohne Zweifel hinlegte, der erbitterte Streit um die Urheberrechte oder die mystische Verstrickung der Privatsphare-Angelegenheit, die Beklommenheit unter den Nutzern hervorruft. Viel wichtiger scheint mir der soziale Aspekt: Was macht Facebook aus unserem Sozialleben? Was sind eigentlich Facebook-Freunde? Ist ein Leben ohne Facebook heutzutage uberhaupt noch denkbar? Der Anspruch dieser Facharbeit konzentriert sich also vielmehr darauf, inwieweit es das soziale Netzwerk geschafft hat, unser reales Leben zu ersetzen und unser Verstandnis von Freundschaft zu verandern. Ein soziales Netzwerk hat definitionsgemass zunachst nicht direkt etwas mit Internet-Plattformen zu tun, es ist lediglich die Vernetzung sozialer Kontakte uber den eigenen Freundeskreis hinaus. Durch den Bekanntheitsgrad, den Online Netzwerke erlangten, erhielt der Begriff jedoch eine verallgemeinernde Bedeutung. Das Konzept des sozialen Netzwerks Facebook basiert auf der Idee der Vernetzung mit Freunden. Der traditionelle Freundschaftsbegriff findet unter Soziologen unterschiedliche, in ihren Grundzugen allerdings ahnliche Definitionen. So beschreibt der Soziologe Karl-Heinz Hillmann beispielsweise Freundschaft als einen Begriff fur eine (...) Form direkter sozialer Beziehungen, die (...) freiwillig und auf langere, nicht fixierte Dauer eingegangen wird." Fur den weiteren Verlauf dieser Arbeit gilt der ursprungliche Freundschaftsbegriff als eine personliche und flexible Bindung zwischen zwei Menschen, die durch ein hohes Mass an Vertrauen und Intimitat gekennzeichnet ist. Um letztendlich beurteilen zu konnen, ob Facebook nun als soziales Netzwerk bezeichnet werden kann, muss man sich zuerst die traditionelle Bedeutung des Wortes sozi

The Western view of native people is a cliched mixture of misinformation. The prevailing view has often been that indigenous peoples were merely obstacles to the onward march of progress. Even now the echoes of history remain strong. Today, however, the lands of indigenous peoples are the new frontier full of the raw materials coveted by industrial society. This new colonization recalls the old: the same impetus to 'civilise' exists today in the minds of political leaders, World Bank officials and transnational corporations. Yet it is an ill-disguised bonanza with no thought for the long-term effects on the land, or the people who live there. Only the elimination of the colonial relationship itself can lead to a partnership of cultures.
