DoomsdaysCW<p>From 2019: Criminalization of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HumanRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HumanRights</span></a> Defenders of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousPeoples" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IndigenousPeoples</span></a> Resisting <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ExtractiveIndustries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ExtractiveIndustries</span></a> in the United States</p><p>Report to the Inter-American<br>Commission on Human Rights</p><p>Prepared by the University of Arizona Rogers College of Law, Indigenous Peoples Law and Policy Program on behalf of the Water Protector Legal Collective</p><p>6/24/2019</p><p>Introduction</p><p>1. Peaceful demonstrations are a catalyst for the advancement of human rights. Yet around the world governments are criminalizing dissent and suppressing public <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/protest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>protest</span></a>, often as a means to protect <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CorporateInterests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CorporateInterests</span></a>. In this context, indigenous peoples increasingly find themselves as the subjects of arrests, criminal prosecution and police violence when defending the lands they rely upon for their existence and survival from <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ResourceExtraction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ResourceExtraction</span></a> by industries who are operating without the free prior and informed consent of the affected communities.</p><p>2. This report is submitted to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IACHR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IACHR</span></a>) in conjunction with a thematic hearing held during the 172nd period of sessions. At the hearing,<br>Commissioners heard directly from those involved in the indigenous-led resistance to the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DakotaAccessPipeline" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DakotaAccessPipeline</span></a> (DAPL) at Standing Rock, North Dakota. This report addresses the criminalization and suppression of protest by indigenous human rights defenders and their allies by United States (U.S.) federal, state and local governments, working hand-in-hand with private security forces [<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Blackwater" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Blackwater</span></a>], specifically in relation to the construction and operation of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DAPL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DAPL</span></a> by <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EnergyTransfer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EnergyTransfer</span></a><br>Partners and Dakota Access, LLC (Dakota Access) and the connected <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BayouBridgePipeline" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BayouBridgePipeline</span></a> (collectively the “<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BakkenPipeline" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BakkenPipeline</span></a>”).</p><p>3. Standing Rock is an emblematic case of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousResistance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IndigenousResistance</span></a> to extractive industry that drew attention from around the world as water protectors met on the banks of the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MissouriRiver" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MissouriRiver</span></a> in peaceful assembly in what was the largest gathering of indigenous peoples in the U.S. in 100 years. Standing Rock is merely one example of how the U.S. government works with industry to approve energy projects carried out without the meaningful participation or consent of<br>indigenous nations. Indigenous peoples are left with no choice but to peacefully protest and then are criminalized for their efforts to defend their lands and resources.</p><p>4. Since Standing Rock, there has been an alarming trend by the United States government and state legislatures to criminalize opposition to pipelines and other energy projects. These <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AntiProtest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AntiProtest</span></a> and so-called “<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CriticalInfrastructure" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CriticalInfrastructure</span></a> laws” progress towards criminalizing dissent and implicitly condone the use of excessive force towards human rights defenders, often including indigenous peoples and their allies who are at the forefront of resistance to extractive industries. As the international community has acknowledged, these laws are incompatible with domestic and international law. The governments’ use of excessive force and mass arrests to threaten, intimidate, and silence “<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterProtectors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WaterProtectors</span></a>” seeking to defend their lands, resources, and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/culture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>culture</span></a>, and the collusion with private security forces, violate fundamental human rights to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FreeSpeech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FreeSpeech</span></a> and Aassembly enshrined in international human rights law and the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USConstitution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>USConstitution</span></a>.</p><p>5. The information provided here builds on a 2016 request for Precautionary Measures filed by the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/StandingRock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>StandingRock</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CheyenneRiver" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CheyenneRiver</span></a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/YanktonSioux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>YanktonSioux</span></a> tribes, past Commission hearings on similar matters that remain unsettled, and reports on Indigenous Peoples and Extractive Activities, and the Criminalization of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HumanRightsDefenders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HumanRightsDefenders</span></a>.

It’s alarming how much wealth is being generated for a select few through <a href="https://aus.social/tags/mining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mining</span></a> and <a href="https://aus.social/tags/gas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gas</span></a> extraction while the broader Australian public sees so little benefit. The lack of a proper Petroleum Resource Rent Tax (<a href="https://aus.social/tags/PRRT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PRRT</span></a> ) or equivalent on many of our natural resources is shocking, especially given how much profit these companies are extracting from our land. The idea of drastically increasing resource taxes makes perfect sense. Not only would it curb unsustainable production, but it would also ensure we’re not draining our finite resources for short-term profits. The gas and <a href="https://aus.social/tags/coal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>coal</span></a> industries, in particular, are responsible for immense environmental and social costs, yet they continue to influence government policy to avoid proper regulation.

Charlie McHenry<p>It’s getting harder and harder not to conclude that humans are an utterly unrepentant parasitic species bent on destroying its host with haste and prejudice. There is no other conclusion possible or plausible at this point in our evolution. Wasn’t always this way, didn’t have to be this way… but regrettably, here we are on the eve of destruction. Can’t say we don’t deserve what we are surely going to get at this juncture, but it makes me sad for my grandchildren and future generations in general.

Nations in the Asia Pacific region, led by the Pacific Island Forum, have strongly voiced their opposition to the plans. Some of the world’s leading oceanographic institutes and marine scientists have criticised the weakness of the scientific justification applied by <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TEPCO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TEPCO</span></a>, the owner of the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NuclearPlant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NuclearPlant</span></a>, warned against using the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PacificOcean" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PacificOcean</span></a> as a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DumpingGround" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DumpingGround</span></a> for radioactive contaminated water, and called for alternatives to discharge to be applied.</p><p>“'The Japanese government is desperate for international endorsement for its Pacific Ocean radioactive water dump plans. It has failed to protect its own citizens, including the vulnerable fishing communities of Fukushima, as well as nations across the wider <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AsiaPacific" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AsiaPacific</span></a> region. The aftermath of the nuclear disaster at Fukushima is still strongly felt, and the Japanese government has failed to fully investigate the effects of discharging multiple <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/radionuclides" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>radionuclides</span></a> on <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MarineLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MarineLife</span></a>. The government is obligated under international law to conduct a comprehensive environmental impact assessment, including the impact of transboundary marine pollution, but has failed to do so. Its plans are a violation of the UN Convention Law of the Sea.</p><p>"'The marine environment is under extreme pressure from <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateChange</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/overfishing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>overfishing</span></a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ResourceExtraction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ResourceExtraction</span></a>. Yet, the G7 thinks it’s acceptable to endorse plans to deliberately dump nuclear waste into the ocean. Politics inside the G7 at Sapporo just trumped science, environmental protection, and international law,' said Shaun Burnie, Senior Nuclear Specialist at Greenpeace East Asia.</p><p>"'<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GreenpeaceEastAsia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GreenpeaceEastAsia</span></a> analysis has detailed the failures of liquid waste processing [ALPS] technology at the Fukushima Daiichi plant and the environmental threats posed by the releases. There is no prospect of an end to the nuclear crisis at the plant as current decommissioning plans are not feasible. Furthermore, the report finds the nuclear fuel debris in the reactors cannot be completely removed and will continue to contaminate the ground water over many decades. Claims that the discharges will take 30 years is inaccurate as in reality, it will continue into the next century. Viable alternatives to discharge, specifically long term storage and processing, have been ignored by the Japanese government.</p><p>"'The Japanese government’s attempt to normalise the Fukushima nuclear disaster is directly linked to its overall energy policy objective of increasing the operation of nuclear reactors again after the 2011 disaster. 54 reactors were available in 2011 compared to only ten reactors in 2022, generating 7.9% of the nation’s electricity in FY21 compared to 29% in 2010. Meanwhile, five of the other six G7 governments led by France, the US and the UK are also aggressively promoting nuclear power development. </p><p>"'The idea that the nuclear industry is capable of delivering a safe and sustainable energy future is delusional and a dangerous distraction from the only viable energy solution to the climate emergency which is 100% <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RenewableEnergy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RenewableEnergy</span></a>. The global growth of low cost renewable energy has been phenomenal – but it has to be much faster and at an even greater scale if carbon emissions are to be reduced by 2030. Approval for nuclear waste dumping and nuclear energy expansion sound like the 1970’s but we have no time for such distractions. We are in a race to save the climate in the 21st century, and only renewables can deliver this,' said Shaun Burnie. </p><p><a href="https://www.greenpeace.org/international/press-release/59193/science-environmental-protection-international-law-g7-japans-fukushima-water-discharge/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">greenpeace.org/international/p</span><span class="invisible">ress-release/59193/science-environmental-protection-international-law-g7-japans-fukushima-water-discharge/</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FukushimaAnniversary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FukushimaAnniversary</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FukushimaIsntOver" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FukushimaIsntOver</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RethinkNotRestart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RethinkNotRestart</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoNukes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NoNukes</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Japan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Japan</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TEPCOLies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TEPCOLies</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WaterIsLife</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Bioaccumulation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Bioaccumulation</span></a></p>

Charlie McHenry<p>It is becoming increasingly clear to anyone with a brain paying attention that the human race has evolved, and not in a good way, from a species that lived in harmony with nature to a parasitic species bent on the destruction of its host. Greed and power drive this extinction-worthy behavior. We *could* deal with this self-destructive behavior, but we don’t - constrained by the ‘powers that be’ and an unbendable attachment to the status quo. That will be our undoing, of course. Pains me to say it, but the preppers were right all along. <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/ClimateCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateCrisis</span></a> <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/ClimateChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateChange</span></a> <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/ClimateEmergency" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateEmergency</span></a> <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/GlobalWarming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GlobalWarming</span></a> <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/FossilFuels" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FossilFuels</span></a> <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/EndFossilFuels" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EndFossilFuels</span></a> <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/ResourceExploitation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ResourceExploitation</span></a> <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/ResourceExtraction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ResourceExtraction</span></a> <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/Sustainability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Sustainability</span></a></p>
