Declaración de Abya Yala
05/23/2014
Naciones Unidas, NY
Señora
Presidenta:
Los pueblos originarios de Abya
Yala - América Latina y El Caribe,
estamos preocupados de que se esté cuestionando nuestra participación plena y
efectiva en el proceso que se desarrolla sobre la CMPI, dejando al margen el
contenido de la Declaración de las Naciones Unidas sobre los Derechos de los
Pueblos Indígenas, situación que vulnera nuestros derechos inherentes.
Por
tanto, enfatizamos en los siguientes puntos:
En
atención
al Cumplimiento de la Resolución de Naciones Unidas, donde se reconoce la participación plena y efectiva de
los Pueblos indígenas,
de llevar a cabo la CMPI, es fundamental nuestra participación durante todo el
proceso hasta el documento final.
Reiteramos
el cumplimiento a la resolución A/RES/66/296, conocido como la Resolución de las modalidades,
en la cual se asegura la participación en igualdad de condiciones de los asesores de parte
de los estados y de los pueblos indígenas.
Recordamos que la asamblea
General aprobó la Declaración UNDRIP, y según sus art. 18 y23, los pueblos indígenas tenemos el derecho a participar, a través de nuestros representantes en la adopción de decisiones que afecten a nuestros derechos y
elaborar prioridades y estrategias para el ejercicio a nuestro derecho al
desarrollo desde nuestra cosmovisión.
Por
lo tanto, los Pueblos Indígenas de Abya Yala urgimos al Presidente de la Asamblea General que honre la Resolución, donde se adoptó la
Declaración
de las Naciones Unidas sobre los Derechos de los Pueblos Indígenas.
De
igual manera queremos resaltar la importancia del documento de Alta que tiene
como referencia de la ONU (A/67/994), que ha sido producto del consenso
adoptado por todas las regiones indígenas del mundo, la cual proporciona una base firme
para redactar el documento final de la conferencia mundial.
Por
último, urgimos al presidente que tome en cuenta al 98% de los Estados miembros
de la ONU que manifestaron su apoyo a celebración de la CMPI y reconocen la plena y efectiva
participación
de los pueblos indígenas, y exhortamos a los Estados que no lo han hecho, se
unan a esta decisión
y sean consecuentes con la adopción de la UNDRIP en el año 2007.
Muchas gracias.
