The power of indigenous people to veto development activities: the right to Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) with specific reference to EthiopiaAbebe, Adem Kassie January 2009 (has links)
Discusses how to ascertain the meaning and implications of Right to Free Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC). Discusses the difference between meaningful participation of FPIC and the relationship between ‘national interest’ and the right to FPIC. Also analyses the protection of the rights of indigenous peoples, including mainly the right to FPIC in Ethiopia. Introduces recommendations concerning the middle ground between ‘national interest’
and the right to FPIC. Discusses how the right to FPIC can be legally recognised in
Ethiopia and Africa in general, including particularly by the African Commission, and
outlines specific recommendations on the relevant policies of the World Bank and African Development Bank. / Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Law University of Pretoria, in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Masters of Law (LLM in Human Rights and Democratisation in Africa).

Re-Packaging FPIC: Contesting the Shape of Corporate Responsability,Sate Authority, and Indigenous Governance / Re-empaquetando el CLPI: las conexiones globales y el debate sobre el consentimiento indígena para la extracción industrial de recursosSzablowski, David 25 September 2017 (has links)
El presente artículo explora la disputa vigente sobre el principio queindica que se requiere el consentimiento libre, previo e informado(CLPI) de un pueblo indígena para autorizar la extracción industrialen su territorio. A partir de los aportes de la obra de Tsing acerca delas conexiones globales, el trabajo analiza cómo es que los actoresinterconectados en redes se empeñan en llevar adelante ampliosproyectos de colaboración (como el reconocimiento de los derechosindígenas) empleando estrategias de persuasión. Se discutenlos esfuerzos realizados por el movimiento indígena transnacionalpara promover el concepto del CLPI, así como tres ejemplos en losque diferentes actores buscan apropiarse y recaracterizar el CLPIpara que calce en sus propias metas.En este trabajo propongo examinar cómo los proyectos gubernamentalesglobales rivales son promovidos y disputados por las redesdescentralizadas que unen a actores que operan a diferentes escalas.Sostengo que la noción de Tsing de «paquetes itinerantes» ofreceuna manera útil de conceptualizar los medios por los cuales loselementos de estos proyectos son difundidos, traducidos, acogidosy adaptados en diferentes localidades alrededor del mundo. Analizoestas dinámicas en relación con el cuestionamiento al modelo degobernanza basado en el principio de que se necesita el consentimientolibre, previo e informado (CLPI) de un pueblo indígenapara autorizar acciones que puedan impactar sobre un territorio o derechos indígenas. A través de la promoción de diferentes versionesde CLPI, los actores interconectados en red están disputandola naturaleza y la forma de la responsabilidad social empresarial,la autoridad del Estado y la relevancia de la gobernanza indígena.Propongo explorar las implicaciones de las diferentes estrategias deempaquetamiento para la disputa entre modelos rivales de gobernanzay para su propensión a ser acogidos en los sitios locales. / In this paper, I propose to examine how rival global governmentalprojects are asserted and contested by decentralized networks thatlink actors operating at different scales. I argue that Tsing’s notionof «travelling packages» provides a useful way of conceptualizingthe means by which elements of these projects are diffused, translated,taken up, and adapted into different localities around theworld. I explore these dynamics in relation to the contestation of agovernance model based on the principle that the free, prior andinformed consent (FPIC) of an indigenous people is required toauthorize actions that may affect upon indigenous territory or indigenousrights. Through the assertion of different versions of FPIC,networked actors are contesting the nature and shape of corporatesocial responsibility, the authority of the state, and the significanceof indigenous governance. I propose to explore the implicationsof different packaging strategies on the contestation between rivalgovernance models and on their propensity for uptake in local sites.

落空的權利—從法律多重製圖觀點看日月潭邵族原住民族土地同意權的實踐 / The Hollow Rights: The Practice of Thao’s Indigenous Land Rights in Taiwan from the Perspective of "Multi-Layered Mapping of Law"沈世祐, Shen, Shih Yu Unknown Date (has links)
《原住民族基本法》於2005年通過，是台灣原住民族運動努力多年的成果，但是近年來原住民族仍持續面對各種壓迫。在土地權利方面，該法第21條規定政府或私人於原住民族土地進行開發利用時，需事先諮詢當地原住民族之同意或參與（簡稱「同意權」），然而在許多案件中，原住民族主張此條文表達反對時，經常未能得到行政部門正面回應。本研究以日月潭邵族反對向山旅館開發案為例，理解「同意權」如何變成「落空的權利」。
許多文獻討論，將原住民族權利與實踐的落差歸因於「個人權」（individual right）與「集體權」（collective right）兩種概念的差異及行政部門本位主義因素。本研究則想更進一步釐清，又有哪些其他因素也影響原住民族權利的落實？ 在這些因素的影響下，「同意權」的規範運作又產生了何種實際效用？
本研究將從「法律多重製圖」之觀點回答上述問題，首先將探究「同意權」概念在國際法、國內法與行政實踐中的規範生產與運作，分析在不同的場域下，場域內的參與者如何對「同意權」進行法律製圖。本文主張，法律生產過程中對權利概念的意義內涵轉換、法律生產與運作場域的邏輯結構，皆影響原住民族權利的實踐。同時，本研究進一步以日月潭邵族的案例，說明原住民族土地權中「自由與事先知情同意原則」或「同意權」規範，理想上是以原住民族的「參與」並實現自決權為目標，但在邵族的案例中，實際運作卻是不斷「排除」原住民族的過程，法律成為排除原住民族權利的合理化機制，更避開各種議題對立面的討論。
權利的落空一方面指權利主張不被理解與正視，更進一步指原住民族社會愈遠離「集體」的過程，因而我們需對原住民族同意權或各種集體權的運作有更多的反省，並持續探詢屬於每個部落或族群中所謂「好生活」（good life）的意義。本文最後藉用「草根後現代主義」（grassroots post-modernism）之概念，介紹原住民族在追求「好生活」的道路上，如何藉著在地思考、找回與族群內部的連結，以此對抗全球化、新自由主義趨勢下對原住民族權利的影響與侷限。 / Though its enactment in 2005 can be regarded as an achievement of Indigenous movement in Taiwan, The Indigenous Peoples Basic Law does not work as it promises. The indigenous people are still struggling for the fulfillment of rights. With respect to land rights, Article 21 of the Law requires the participation and consent of local indigenous people before the development and utilization of the indigenous land. However, the article is often neglected by the government in many cases.
This case study then focuses on Thao people （邵族）who live around Sun-Moon Lake （日月潭）and their opposition to a Hotel program located in Xiangshan（向山）, which is regarded as the traditional territory of Thao. By adopting the perspective of “Multi-Layered Mapping of Law”, I hope to analyze the enactment process and the effect of law concerning the principle of Free, Prior and Informed Consent as well as land rights of indigenous people, and try to describe how the “right to consent” becomes a “hollow right” in practice.
The study depicts the right as “hollow” for two meanings. On the one hand, it shows the situation for indigenous people facing the gap between the law’s promise and law’s practice in the complex process of law making and law enforcement. On the other hand, it further describes the more distance from collectiveness within indigenous society. The study suggests that more dialogue and more reflection is needed when claiming rights.
The last part of the study then introduces the idea of “grassroots post-modernism” which discuss the way to “Good Life" and the way of resistance against globalization and neoliberalism. Although the issues need further discussion in future studies, the idea can be a guidance for indigenous people as they pursue the fulfillment of land rights, autonomy and self-determination.

La participation des peuples autochtones à l’évaluation d’impact au Canada : au-delà du consentement, une conception de l’autorité décisionnelleChabot-Martin, Camille 08 1900 (has links)
Ce mémoire vise à mieux comprendre les débats politiques concernant la participation des peuples autochtones à la prise de décision en matière de développement du territoire et des ressources dans le contexte de l’évaluation d’impact au Canada. Si l’évaluation d’impact est perçue comme un mécanisme au sein duquel se matérialisent les droits autochtones (dont l’obligation de consulter de la Couronne), les principaux acteurs de ces processus (gouvernement fédéral, promoteurs des projets et groupes autochtones) ne semblent pas s’entendre sur la signification et la portée des normes en matière de participation autochtone, en particulier sur le consentement préalable, libre et éclairé (CPLE). Par une analyse du discours de ces intervenants dans le cadre des travaux parlementaires menant à l’adoption de la Loi sur l’évaluation d’impact (2019), cette recherche révèle trois conceptions principales de la place des Autochtones dans les processus de prise de décision de l’évaluation d’impact : procédurale, partenariale et fondée sur l’autodétermination.
Ce mémoire met aussi en évidence d’importantes différences en ce qui concerne les attentes face au modèle de participation et plus spécifiquement sur l’interprétation du CPLE. Ces différences reposent en grande partie sur la façon dont ceux-ci conçoivent l’autorité décisionnelle en matière de gouvernance territoriale au Canada. Pour les intervenants gouvernementaux et autochtones, les conceptions en matière de participation et d’autorité décisionnelle s’appuient sur des fondements juridiques. En revanche, pour l’industrie, la justification de la participation des Autochtones est davantage de nature économique et liée à son impact sur l’approbation des projets. / This thesis aims to better understand the political debates regarding Indigenous peoples’ participation in land and resource decision-making in the context of impact assessment in Canada. While impact assessment is viewed as a mechanism through which Indigenous rights (including the Crown's duty to consult) are realized, the actors in these processes (federal government authorities, project promoters and indigenous groups) do not seem to agree on the meaning and scope of Indigenous participation norms, notably regarding free, prior and informed consent (FPIC). Through discourse analysis of these actors within the framework of the parliamentary work leading to the adoption of the Impact Assessment Act (2019), this research reveals three main conceptions of the place of Indigenous peoples in impact assessment decision-making processes: procedural, partnership and based on self-determination.
This thesis also highlights important differences in terms of expectations regarding the type of participation and more specifically on FPIC interpretations. These differences are largely based on how they conceive decision-making authority in matters of territorial governance in Canada. For the government and the Indigenous actors, notions of participation and decision-making authority are based on legal foundations. In contrast, for the industry, the rationale behind Indigenous participation is rather economic and linked to its impact on project approval.

“Accumulation by Dispossession” by the Global Extractive Industry: The Case of CanadaKinuthia, Wanyee 13 November 2013 (has links)
This thesis draws on David Harvey’s concept of “accumulation by dispossession” and an international political economy (IPE) approach centred on the institutional arrangements and power structures that privilege certain actors and values, in order to critique current capitalist practices of primitive accumulation by the global corporate extractive industry. The thesis examines how accumulation by dispossession by the global extractive industry is facilitated by the “free entry” or “free mining” principle. It does so by focusing on Canada as a leader in the global extractive industry and the spread of this country’s mining laws to other countries – in other words, the transnationalisation of norms in the global extractive industry – so as to maintain a consistent and familiar operating environment for Canadian extractive companies. The transnationalisation of norms is further promoted by key international institutions such as the World Bank, which is also the world’s largest development lender and also plays a key role in shaping the regulations that govern natural resource extraction. The thesis briefly investigates some Canadian examples of resource extraction projects, in order to demonstrate the weaknesses of Canadian mining laws, particularly the lack of protection of landowners’ rights under the free entry system and the subsequent need for “free, prior and informed consent” (FPIC). The thesis also considers some of the challenges to the adoption and implementation of the right to FPIC. These challenges include embedded institutional structures like the free entry mining system, international political economy (IPE) as shaped by international institutions and powerful corporations, as well as concerns regarding ‘local’ power structures or the legitimacy of representatives of communities affected by extractive projects. The thesis concludes that in order for Canada to be truly recognized as a leader in the global extractive industry, it must establish legal norms domestically to ensure that Canadian mining companies and residents can be held accountable when there is evidence of environmental and/or human rights violations associated with the activities of Canadian mining companies abroad. The thesis also concludes that Canada needs to address underlying structural issues such as the free entry mining system and implement FPIC, in order to curb “accumulation by dispossession” by the extractive industry, both domestically and abroad.
