Under the reductionist semiotic schema of the System Wide Action Plan (SWAP) being implemented under the Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA) of the UN, the objective is to manipulate the Indigenous Peoples into venues of "participation" via a global indigenous bureaucracy of the seven-region system that first appeared in Alta, Norway at the Global Indigenous Preparatory Conference in 2013.

After
the Global Indigenous Preparatory Conference of 2013 in Alta, Norway the
UN General Assembly convened a High-Level Plenary Meeting (HLPM) in 2014 which
was fraudulently called a World Conference on Indigenous Peoples. The outcome document of this High-Level
Plenary is the source of the mandate for the System Wide Action Plan.
The UN completely ignored the interventions at Alta made by Indigenous Peoples that explicitly called for principles, criteria and guarantees for engagement without discrimination.
“We call for the restitution of the primary source materials and testimony that was lent to the United Nations system as fundamental to the evidence in document form of the systemic (system to system) nature of the legal relationships between the Nations of Indigenous Peoples and the member states of the UN system for the purpose of the Treaty Study (1999) conducted by Dr. Miguel Alfonso Martinez of Cuba.
Such delivery, should be initial act of good faith in terms of the continuing process of systemic documentation among the Nations of Indigenous Peoples and the UN system prior to and as a necessary act of condition to allow for the full and effective participation of the Indigenous Peoples with the High Level Plenary Meeting on an equal basis and without systemic discrimination in the process of producing the Final Outcome Document of the High Level Plenary Meeting of the General Assembly 2014.”
In spite of the opposition of and Denial of Consent by the Indigenous Peoples to this blatant violation of the right to self-determination, the UN member states and the minions of the “hangers around the UN” blatantly dictate to the Indigenous Peoples and the international community, demanding that the term “World Conference on Indigenous Peoples” identify the 2014 fraud.
Challenges to this concept are not allowed.
It is a conceptual concentration camp; a global reservation system being constructed under the SWAP to reduce the inherent rights of the Original Nations of Indigenous Peoples to a delegated privilege to be defined at the domestic level within the legislative context of each state and country, all constrained by the insertion of the trump card of Article 46 at the last minute into the UN version of the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. (Not the original version of the declaration as agreed and approved in 1994.)
Challenging the High-level Plenary Meeting (UNHLPM) of the UN in 2014 the Indigenous Peoples demanded an end to discrimination and violations of the right to self-determination, calling for and full and equal participation of Indigenous Peoples, equal to all other peoples in the concept, design, implementation, and evaluation of each and every one of the UN actions and policies that involve our Indigenous Peoples and the protection of our collective rights.
In
evaluating with these same criteria the UNHLPM 2014, the lack of respect and
consideration to be considered in Equality as Peoples with all other peoples
in the proceedings was evident from conception, completely absent from the
design, not even being considered in the implementation, and there are no
mechanisms to integrate equality in the evaluation of the HLPM 2014 which was not
and still today in 2023 is not a UN conference.
The event was characterized by individual advisors being selected by extractive and non-representational processes, international peons whose role in the projected UN High Level Plenary Meeting of States of the General Assembly is to repeat what the states have scripted to be narrated, facilitating the assault of the global neo-liberal colonization by the corporations that dictate the policies of the states, and whose role is to provide legitimacy for development projects which the international financial consortia require in order to market the concept that there is justice and consent of Indigenous Peoples.
The UN General Assembly High-level Plenary Meeting 2014
WAS NOT A UN CONFERENCE.
The UNHLPM of 2014 is a schema of the states which is actively and openly but unrealistically being promoted to be named an official UN conference, in the same degrading naming process of European American colonization that we became known as Indians, Americans, American Indians, Latin America, etc.
The naming of the HLPM as an official UN Conference is a semiotic schema
(doctrine) being constructed to contextualize and manufacture the process of indigenous
consent via bureaucratic venues of participation within the Westphalian
System of the Divine Right of States [UN] in order to reduce
and domesticate the Universal Human Rights in International Law of Indigenous
Peoples, equal to all other peoples of the world.
The branding of the 2014 UN High-Level Plenary Meeting as the World Conference on Indigenous Peoples is today the equivalent of the edicts by the Vatican known as the Alexandrian Papal Bulls (Inter Caetera 1493) which literally un-named (terra nullius) and then re-named [Doctrine of Discovery-America] entire sacred histories and geographies of the Original Nations of Indigenous Peoples of the world.
At the 2014 World Conference on Indigenous Peoples, the General Assembly
requested the development of a system-wide action plan for a coherent approach
to achieving the ends of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of
Indigenous Peoples. The Secretary-General shared a finalized system-wide action
plan with heads of UN system agencies at the United Nations Chief Executives
Board meeting in November 2015, and encouraged concerted efforts to implement
the action plan.
************************
Background: Outcome document of the high-level plenary meeting of the General Assembly known as the World Conference on Indigenous Peoples (2014)
40. We request the Secretary-General, in consultation with the Inter-Agency Support Group on Indigenous Peoples’ Issues and Member States, taking into account the views expressed by indigenous peoples, to report to the General Assembly at its seventieth session on the implementation of the present outcome document, and to submit at the same session, through the Economic and Social Council, recommendations regarding how to use, modify and improve existing United Nations mechanisms to achieve the ends of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, ways to enhance a coherent, system-wide approach to achieving the ends of the Declaration and specific proposals to enable the participation of indigenous peoples’ representatives and institutions, building on his report on ways and means of promoting participation at the United Nations of indigenous peoples’ representatives on the issues affecting them.
The outcome document of the 2014 World Conference on Indigenous Peoples contains a series of commitments calling for multifaceted action by a range of actors, first and foremost Member States, but also the United Nations system. Among these is a request that the Secretary-General develop a system wide action plan to ensure a coherent approach to achieving the ends of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (A/RES/69/2, paragraph 311). The outcome document also requests the designation of an existing senior official of the UN system responsible for coordinating the action plan, raising awareness of the rights of indigenous peoples at the highest possible level, as well as increasing the coherence of the activities of the UN system in this regard. The Under-Secretary-General for Economic and Social Affairs was designated to this position and has coordinated the development of this action plan.
Full text of paragraph 31:
We request the Secretary-General, in consultation and cooperation with indigenous peoples, the Inter-Agency Support Group on Indigenous Peoples’ Issues and Member States, to begin the development, within existing resources, of a system-wide action plan to ensure a coherent approach to achieving the ends of the Declaration and to report to the General Assembly at its seventieth session, through the Economic and Social Council, on progress made. We invite the Secretary-General to accord, by the end of the seventieth session of the Assembly, an existing senior official of the United Nations system, with access to the highest levels of decision-making within the system, responsibility for coordinating the action plan, raising awareness of the rights of indigenous peoples at the highest possible level and increasing the coherence of the activities of the system in this regard.
This action plan was developed by the Inter-Agency Support Group on
Indigenous Issues (IASG) over the course of 10 months in 2015 and was finalized
at the annual meeting of the IASG on 26-27 October 2015. It was introduced by
the Secretary-General to the Chief Executives Board at its meeting on 18
November 2015.
In preparation of the action plan and under the guidance of the Under-Secretary-General,
the Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA) organized
consultations with Member States, indigenous peoples, representatives of UN
agencies, funds and programmes, the three UN mechanisms with specific mandates
concerning indigenous peoples and others. Throughout these consultations the
need for further awareness-raising on the Declaration on the Rights of
Indigenous Peoples and for capacity-building to implement its provisions has
been highlighted as a central concern. This concern has been raised in relation
to the UN system as well as among Member States, indigenous peoples themselves
and the broader societies in which they live. The consultations also identified
the need for concerted action to implement the Declaration, especially at the
country level. The full and effective participation of indigenous people in
processes that affect them is another issue that has been a priority for
indigenous peoples and is a principle that is recognized and supported by
Member States. The action plan seeks to address these issues.
Based on the feedback received, the plan focuses on the following action areas:
(1) raise awareness on the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and indigenous issues;
(2) support the implementation of the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, particularly at the country level;
(3) Support the realization of indigenous peoples’ rights in the implementation
and review of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development;
(4) conduct a mapping exercise of existing policies, standards, guidelines,
activities, resources and capacities within the UN and multilateral system to
identify opportunities and gaps;
(5) develop capacities of States, indigenous peoples, civil society and UN personnel at all levels; and
(6) support the participation of indigenous peoples in processes that affect them.
The primary aim of this action plan is to increase UN system coherence in addressing the rights and well-being of indigenous peoples in its work, including in support of Member States, with the ultimate goal of implementing, with the effective participation of indigenous peoples, the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples at all levels. This action plan is aimed to promote improved support to Member States as well as indigenous peoples themselves. Particular attention is paid to the UN system using its convening capacity to facilitate dialogue and co-operation between state actors and indigenous peoples, promoting indigenous peoples’ participation in global, regional and national processes that affect them, while supporting Member States to take into account indigenous peoples’ rights and views in line with international standards.
United Nations Permanent Forum for Indigenous Peoples
12th Session May 18-31, 2013
Maya Vision, Centro Cultural Techantit
With the adoption of UN GA1514 in 1960 and the adoption in 2007 of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, and in terms of the dual mandates regarding Human Rights which brings us together here today, a persistent challenge in our dialogue continues to be the fact that the political arguments on both sides of the issue are in conflict, not just because of the doctrines of power that gave birth to the concepts of dominion which define the states and the social relations of their member constituencies and international systems such as the UN, but also because the framework for resolution of the issues within the UN system is incompetent to address the spirituality of the earth based territorial realities of the Indigenous Nations, and the system itself is incoherent according to the geographic sciences of modern times.
What is lacking is a mechanism to define the issues in common terms, outside of the intellectual framework of colonization and dominion. What is missing is a clarification of the concept of territorial integrity, as a dimension of ecological and social sustainability and not a bastard relic from the intellectual Regime of Doctrines spawned by the Divine Right of Kings.
**************
Recommendations
1. To implement the call made by the Permanent Forum to repudiate the Doctrine of Discovery by appointing a Special Rapporteur to advance the Preliminary Study on the Impact of the Doctrine of Discovery commissioned by the Permanent Forum into an international study with recommendations on how the study may advance the Human Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
2. To call for the restitution of the Treaty Archive of primary source materials and testimonies lent to the United Nations by the Indigenous Peoples for the purposes of the Treaty Study accomplished by Dr. Miguel Alfonso Martinez, to be made accessible globally via the information technologies now available and to the diverse Caucus of Indigenous Peoples participating in the Permanent Forum and other bodies of the UN system.
3. To take all necessary and appropriate actions mandated under UN General Assembly Resolution 1514 in terms of the Right of Self Determination necessary to defend and protect the Human Rights of the Future Generations of Indigenous Peoples, Equal to all other Peoples, with recognition and respect for the Territorial Integrity of Mother Earth with the Natural World.
4. To address the violations of Human Rights implicit in the antiquated geographic systems of the States and the planetary cognitive derivatives of their International Borders, by adopting the recommendations of the Declaration of Abya Yala by the Abya Yala Caucus as a necessary decolonization strategy in terms of Education and Human Rights, as referred to in previous sessions of this body.
5. To act immediately to reaffirm the principles of the UN Declaration on Rights of Indigenous Peoples which are violated by the continued designation of this forum as a Forum on Indigenous Issues, by adopting the title of this body as the United Nations Forum for Indigenous Peoples.

ANNEX
STATEMENT OF THE NORTH AMERICAN INDIGENOUS PEOPLES’ CAUCUS
**************
Aucan Huilcaman: Message to North American Indigenous Peoples Caucus
I have taken note of the NAIPC meeting held on March 3, 2014. Likewise I congratulate you along with Kenneth Deer on the decision to forgo participation in the Global Coordinating Group (GCG) given that there is no guarantee for real participation in the so-called World Conference of Indigenous Peoples and that in practice it is not a proper World Conference itself, but simply a High Level Plenary Meeting within the framework of the United Nations General Assembly.
I have also taken note that the North American Indigenous Caucus has called for cancellation of the High Level Plenary Meeting. This decision is a valiant expression of will in order to safeguard the dignity of Indigenous Peoples and make manifest that we are not willing to continue supporting new forms of colonialism and the domestication of Indigenous Peoples in violation of our rights. This is the most appropriate form in exercise of the right of indigenous consent.
From the beginning I expressed my serious and profound questions regarding the true meaning and scope of the High Level Plenary Meeting, considering that all procedures of a real and legitimate World Conference within the UN system were being violated. I authored an article called "An Apparent World Conference, a parenthesis in the General Assembly of the United Nations." Time has proven me right. Likewise the international Indigenous leadership also shoulders direct responsibility for the consequences of events. It would be appropriate and healthy should those indigenous who supported this event without reservation, undergo their own self-criticism in light of the facts.

The Right to Free, Prior Informed Consent is a right that depends exclusively and excludingly to Indigenous Peoples. I think it is the right time to manifest clearly that we DO NOT CONSENT to this manner of participation, otherwise a very negative precedent will be set for the future of Indigenous Peoples. Taking also consideration that as we are entitled to the right of self-determination as peoples, but we if we do not have the capacity to exercise the totality of these rights, this would make evident the lack of capacity to exercise the determination to DENY CONSENT. From the point of view of law, consent is the last right held by Indigenous Peoples in terms of internal jurisdiction and is the last resort that we have as precaution, protection and safeguard for the rights and fundamental freedoms for future generations of indigenous peoples wherever they may be found. If in the final analysis if we are not clear on the exercise of the right of CONSENT, it would then become clear that domestication has prevailed because we have failed to properly utilize the ultimate right to DENY CONSENT.

At this stage of events, even should greater indigenous participation be achieved, it would not be sufficient, because there is no certainty regarding the results of the High Level Plenary Meeting, which is to say there is no certainty regarding the Final Declaration, and there is no certainty on a Plan of Action. Unfortunately, very little is being brought forward towards obtaining a document useful for Indigenous Peoples. With such things as they are, the most likely possibility is that the High-level Plenary Meeting will benefit mostly the government states. This would bring to account a particular naivety on the part of indigenous leaders considering the actions that states have historically had with Indigenous Peoples and in violation of our rights.
The news about the postponement of the meeting sponsored by the government of Mexico for the first days of April 2014 highlights the uncertainties concerning the outcome of the meeting, although the more important issue is the utility of the results of the High Level Plenary Meeting itself.
Although the President of the General Assembly of the United Nations Mr. John Ashe has requested the Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues for greater number of persons for consultations, this is inadequate and inappropriate due to the fact that the Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues is a subsidiary body of the ECOSOC and we Indigenous Peoples have the right to actively participate in all matters that affect us without any intermediation.
I would like to report that the Mapuche in Chile, both the Council of All Lands, and the Mapuche Pact for Self-Determination (PACMA) will have a meeting with the government of Chile to manifest these critical points and call for the cancellation of the High-level Plenary Meeting, and if possible prepare the ground for the future in order to achieve a real and legitimate World Conference on Indigenous Peoples.

Muchas gracias por la comunicación recién.
He tomado conocimiento de la reunión efectuada el día 03 de marzo de 2014. De la misma manera quisiera felicitar a Ud., junto a Kenneth Deer la decisión de renunciar a la participación en el Grupo Coordinador Global (GCG) teniendo en cuenta que no hay garantía para la participación en la denominada Conferencia Mundial de los Pueblos Indígenas y que en la práctica no es una Conferencia Mundial propiamente tal, sino, simplemente una Reunión Plenaria de Alto Nivel en el marco de la Asamblea General de Naciones Unidas.
Desde un inicio manifesté mis serias y profundas dudas del verdadero sentido y alcance de la Reunión Plenaria de Alto Nivel, considerando que se habían vulnerado todos los procedimientos de una verdadera y legítima Conferencia Mundial dentro del sistema de Naciones Unidas. Mi artículo se denominó “Una Aparente Conferencia Mundial” y en el mejor de los casos un “Paréntesis en la Asamblea General de las Naciones Unidas”. El tiempo me ha dado la razón. De la misma manera la dirigencia indígena internacional también tiene una responsabilidad directa en las consecuencias de los hechos. Sería oportuno y saludable que los indígenas que apoyaron sin reserva este evento, hagan sus propias autocriticas a la luz de los hechos.
El derecho al Consentimiento Previo Libre e Informado, es un derecho que depende exclusiva y excluyentemente a los Pueblos Indígenas, considero que es el momento apropiado para manifestar claramente que NO CONSENTIMOS, este tipo de participación, de lo contrario se sentará un precedente muy negativo para el futuro de los Pueblos Indígenas, considerando además, que somos titulares del derecho a la libre determinación, sino tenemos capacidad de ejercer este conjunto de derechos, se pondrá de relieve la falta de capacidad para ejercer la voluntad para NO CONSENTIR. Desde el punto de vista del derecho, el consentimiento, es el último derecho que poseen los Pueblos Indígenas en su fuero interno y es el último recurso que disponemos para cautelar, proteger y salvaguardar los derechos y libertades fundamentales para las futuras generaciones indígenas en donde quiera que se encuentren. Si eventualmente no somos claros en ejercer el CONSENTIMIENTO, daría cuenta que ha prevalecido la domesticación porque no hemos sabido utilizar apropiadamente el último derecho que disponemos a NO CONSENTIR.
Quisiera informar que los Mapuche en Chile, tanto, el Consejo de Todas las Tierras, el Pacto Mapuche por la Autodeterminación (PACMA) tendremos una reunión con el gobierno de Chile para manifestar los puntos críticos y pedir la cancelación de la Reunión Plenaria de Alto Nivel. Y en lo posible preparar el terreno para el futuro y alcanzar una verdadera y legítima Conferencia Mundial sobre Pueblos Indígenas.

TONATIERRA: The HLPM 2014 and the Territorial Integrity of Mother Earth
#TimeIsNow Mandate of the Indigenous Peoples
Territorial Integrity of Mother Earth
The jurisprudence which articulates the nationhood of
Indigenous Peoples is also is a projection of jurisdiction at the planetary
level, with mutual responsibilities towards the Territorial Integrity of Mother
Earth, and the well-being of the Future Generations. The distinction being that our Rights of
Nationhood emerge from the COGNITION, and then thus RECOGNITION, of our
responsibilities as ONE of the Nations (two legged species of kindom) – among
ALL of the RELATIONS to whom and with we share as human society collectively,
the responsibility to act in complementarity within the equally shared
environment of the Natural World. We are
Original Nations of Mother Earth, and will not consent to be diminished or to
be dominated under the regime of the government states of the UN system as mere
ethnic groups, or minorities.
