Manifestazione per i diritti del popolo Mapuche - da APM
10/12/2006 In occasione dell'anniversario della cosiddetta "scoperta dell'America", l'Associazione per i Popoli Minacciati (APM) ricorda le milioni di vittime che questo evento ha causato e continua a causare. "La conquista dell'America è stata di fatto il più grande genocidio della storia, una eliminazione in massa di persone e popoli interi provocate dalla guerra, dallo sfruttamento brutale ai lavori forzati e dall'annientamento delle culture" - riporta un comunicato di APM. L'associazione denuncia le violazioni nei confronti delle popolazioni Mapuche, presente in Argentina e Cile e di varie popolazioni indigene in Perù e Ecuador dove le multinazionali petrolifere tentano di imporre i loro progetti anche con l'aiuto dei militari. L'APM aderisce alla fiaccolata organizzata su invito delle organizzazioni Mapuche in Europa che si terrà sabato 14 ottobre a Milano, come in tante altre città europee, davanti al consolato cileno.

Alkuperäiskansojen päivän juhlallisuuksia
10/04/2006 Alkuperäiskansojen oikeuksia koskevan julistuksen eteen on tehty työtä kaksi vuosikymmentä. Asiakirja hyväksyttiin heinäkuussa Ihmisoikeusneuvostossa, ja nyt yleiskokouksen pitäisi antaa sille lopullinen hyväksyntänsä. Asiakirja ei ole sitova, mutta sen avulla voidaan arvioida, kuinka hallitus kohtelee alkuperäiskansojaan.
