World Bank Revision of Indigenous Peoples Policy Update on Consultations with External Stakeholders February 6, 2002 Prepared by Melina Selverston Scher (melinas@igc.org) I. Background 1. The World Bank began a consultation process to revise its policy on indigenous peoples (OD 4.20) in 1996. In March 2001 they produced a draft revised policy, and presented plans to do a quick consultation process based primarily on an interactive internet site, and with the intent of presenting the new policy to the Board of Directors for approval by the end of the year. IPO's and NGO's quickly responded with demands for a broader face-to-face consultation process, and expressed concern that the new policy was weaker in many areas. 2. At about the same time the OED launched an internal investigation of the existing Indigenous Peoples policy. This in depth study was to take approximately two years and be carried out independently of the policy revision process. It was clear to us that this review could lead to important information that should feed directly into the policy revision process. II. Update - main actions and changes

HOME BACK Peru: Exploration and Exploitation of Gas of Camisea Author: Mercedes Manriquez The Machiguenga, Yine-Piro, Yaminahua, Amahuaca, Ashaninca, Nahua and Kugapakori Indigenous Peoples have traditionally occupied the Urubamba Valley, situated between the central and southern regions of Peru. In the beginning of the 18th century, missionaries met with resistance by these peoples, because the region was isolated from the national society. Nevertheless, from 1822-1920 the rubber tappers began their raids, which initiated a process of colonization that affected the traditional organizations of these peoples. Thus began territorial dispersion. After the rubber boom, the phenomenon of the hacienda and the patrons appropriated indigenous territories and exploited their work force. This also led to the arrival of Dominican missionaries to the region. In this manner, the national policies of territorial occupation in the Amazon, since the advent of the Republic, has been characterized by the intensification of this colonization, as well as the mercantile activity and extraction. This trend is consolidated with the promulgation of the Law of Lands and Mountains (No.1220) in 1909, that incorporates the State's domain over lands traditionally occupied by Indigenous Peoples of the Amazon, but that were not acquired as agreed to in the Civil Code of 1852. Through this law, large areas of land were granted to businesses and explorers. Such arrangements continued until 1974, when Decree No.20653 (Law of the Native Communities and of Land and Cattle Promotion in Jungle Regions) was proclaimed. Before this law, Decree 3 of 1957 established the legal term "reserve," creating sixty-four of them to assure the subsistence of the Indigenous Peoples (Manríquez, 1996, p. 1-3).

We notice, however, that through their claims and resistance, the Indians in Brazil have furthered their cause at the national and international levels.

Last night we sent you our statement and it was too difficult to report on what had taken place throughout the day. We were in Global Caucus deliberations for hours in effort to come to consensus on our strategies. Our delegations are weighted with the choice of how to respond to the negotiating process. Our greatest difficulty is knowing truly the machine we are dealing with. As we each define our purpose in the values of our futures through the foundation within each of us instilled by our ancestors. We have found great frustrations in this stand to remain integral to our collective principles, our individual principles and most important the principles of our people at home. Our diversity of struggle is somewhat defined by our regions and the governments both in military occupation of us and in relation to our geographic positions. Our drafting committee was charged by our Global Caucus to draft the earlier statement based upon the hundreds of points presented by our body throughout the day. We felt finally that it served our position well.

For they are engaged not only in correcting centuries of injustice but also in converting attitudes and prejudices that have hardened into concrete blocks of resistance.

We assist in the development of community, economic, and cultural projects only at the invitation of the people and impose absolutely no control or regulation of these projects once in their hands. They desire to live as closely as possible to their cultural roots and traditions in nature without missing the positive benefits of clean technology such as solar energy, purified water systems, disease prevention and treatment, and sustained-yield production and use of natural and culturally-familiar rainforest resources. We are not "missionaries" in that we do not seek to impose our religious, social or cultural views and standards on the native people. To the contrary, we support and endorse the traditional indigenous world view, human rights, tribal sovereignty, cultural values, and ancient traditions. We seek to empower the people to heal some of the negative impacts of western colonial exploitation and displacement foisted upon them by forceful and deceptive invasion of their lands. We believe strongly in the inherent right of informed self-determination for all indigenous peoples.

Independent Evaluation of Peru's Camisea Gas Project Reveals Violations of World Bank Environmental Standards May 6, 2002 New Report Released: Independent Evaluation of Peru's Camisea Gas Project Reveals Violations of World Bank Environmental Standards (Download Report: English Version View Map The following report was presented recently to multi-lateral and bilateral financial institutions considering financing of Peru's Camisea gas project. The report provides an independent assessment of the most significant potential environmental and social impacts of the Camisea natural gas field and pipeline project on the Urubamba River Valley. The independent evaluation process, which was coordinated by independent consultant Patricia Caffrey (former director of World Wildlife Fund-Bolivia), is based on extensive analysis of the upstream and downstream environmental impact studies and proposed mitigation plans. Its key findings include the following. 1. Irreversible Negative Impacts and Compliance:

The Camisea natural gas project November 20, 2002 The Position of US Environmental Organizations in Respect to The Camisea Gas Project in the Peruvian Amazon Public Funds Should Not Fund Amazon Rainforest Destruction The United States government will soon consider whether or not to finance a natural gas project along the Camisea river in Peru that will cause irreparable damage to pristine forests and rivers and expose indigenous peoples living in voluntary isolation to unwanted contact. The U.S. Export-Import Bank (Ex-Im) and the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) should invest our tax dollars in local and indigenous development initiatives and not in a billion-dollar extractive project harmful to local communities and the environment. An independent assessment of the Camisea project published in April 2002 found that the project companies have poor environmental records and that there is little possibility for strict government oversight of such a politically charged project and in such a remote area. Documentation of impacts that have already occurred demonstrates that neither the project companies, nor Ex-Im or IDB, can bring this project into line with international environmental and social standards. Indeed, revelations in some of the companies' own monitoring reports raise doubts as to whether the project companies have either the commitment or the technical capacity to do so.
