Dopo ventidue anni di negoziati e accesi dibattiti, l’Assemblea Generale dell'Onu ha approvato ieri la Dichiarazione dei diritti dei popoli indigeni, un documento non vincolante che mira proteggere i diritti di circa 370 milioni di appartenenti ai popoli indigeni nel mondo. Hanno votato a favore 143 nazioni, 11 si sono astenute e quattro - Australia, Nuova Zelanda, Canada e Stati Uniti - hanno votato contro. Celebrano le associazioni per la difesa dei diritti delle popolazioni autoctone: "Tripudio per l'approvazione" - commenta Survival International riportando i commenti di diverse popolazioni indigene del mondo. "Un passo storico" - afferma l'Associazione per i popoli minacciati (APM). La dichiarazione sancisce i diritti dei popoli indigeni alla proprietà della loro terra e a vivere come desiderano e afferma, inoltre, che non possono essere sfrattati dai loro territori senza il loro libero e informato consenso.

Si è concluso ieri a Marghera il Forum di Sbilanciamoci! "L'impresa di un'economia diversa": quattro giornate di incontri, dibattiti e workshop sulle alternative per la costruzione di un nuovo modello di welfare e di economia. Circa 400 partecipanti hanno assistito ai dibattiti nei quali sono intervenuti ospiti italiani e internazionali e sette esponenti del Governo: i ministri Bindi, Ferrero, Mussi e Pecoraro Scanio, i viceministri Visco e Sentinelli, e i sottosegretari Cento e Gianni. "Una presenza che è il riconoscimento al lavoro che abbiamo fatto in questi anni e alla serietà delle nostre proposte" - ha commentato il portavoce del Forum, Giulio Marcon. "Ci attendiamo ora dal governo passi concreti su welfare, scuola, ambiente, sanità, cooperazione internazionale. Due obiettivi su tutti, la riduzione delle spese militari e la tassazione delle rendite e dei redditi più alti".
