QUESTIONS to be addressed by the High Level Plenary of the UN General Assembly 2014

(to be known as the World Conference on Indigenous Peoples):

DISMANTLING the DOCTRINE of DISCOVERY
The Organization of American States
Call to Tribunal 

 

1)  By what purported legitimate reason does this body of Colonizing Republics of the Americas, the Organization of American States (OAS) presume to establish a REGIONAL AGENCY within the UN System in violation of UNGA 1514, UNGA 1541, et al?

2)  In accord with principle of Free, Prior, and Informed Consent as referenced in the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (2007), where, when, and how were the Nations of the Indigenous Peoples of Abya Yala Turtle Island consulted in bringing forth this REGIONAL AGENCY of the UN system as a representative hemispheric body of continental governance?

3)  What other regions, continents of the world suffer from this pattern of regional co-optation and colonization by a REGIONAL AGENCY of the UN system?

4)  Does this imply that the UN system itself is complicit with the violation of UN General Assembly Resolution 1514 "All peoples have the right of self determination" in terms of the TRUTH of the colonizers' ongoing continental project (aka the America states).

5) Were any of these questions addressed in during the 2013 UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues Truth Commission reports on genocide and colonization in our continent of Abya Yala [the Americas]?
