#UnitedNations: #Australian #Aboriginal children seized, '#GreenEnergy' impacts worsen for #Sami
by #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, July 9, 2024
"Australian Aboriginal continue to be seized from their families by the government, and the situation for Sami in Norway is worsening because of 'green energy' projects, Indigenous representatives told the United Nations Expert Mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples today.
"Both #Norway and #Australia had country engagements with the UN Expert Mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, but Australian Aboriginal representatives said conditions are not improving.
"During today's session, the second day in the week-long session, Sami told the U.N. that conditions in Norway are worsening for Sami, because their land is being seized for 'green energy' projects, including wind energy projects.
Sami stated that #ClimateChange is drastic in the #Arctic in Norway, far worse than in other regions, and that #FossilFuel industries continue to destroy Sami lands.
"Free, prior and informed #consent, as stated in the U.N. Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (#UNDRIP), is not being honored in regards to Sami reindeer herders by the government of Norway.
"The U.N. Expert Mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples engaged in a country visit to Norway in March. Consultation, #EnergyLaw, and Norway's new #MineralAct, were among the topics.
"A representative from #Africa, responding to the report, said the impacts of green energy on Sami shows that the exploitation of Indigenous Peoples for green energy projects is a global issue. While #IndigenousLands are being seized for minerals, the minerals and products are usually exported, and are not of benefit to Indigenous Peoples whose land the minerals are taken from.
"Sami in #Finland said the government of Finland is violating the rights of Sami by failing to recognize Sami people.
"A Native representative told the U.N. that their Native hunting and fishing rights continue to be violated by the government of Canada.
"On Monday, Indigenous described how the murder of Indigenous Peoples continues in #Colombia, and there has been no relief from the violence from armed groups."
