✔ UN Inter-Agency Support Group in the region

📣 Indonesia wants @OECD membership but there's no law protecting Indigenous Peoples' rights. 52 orgs, including AIPNEE, are demanding concrete measures before Indonesia joins. OECD values must include #FPIC and Indigenous rights. 📄 https://t.co/t3EpIPvs2t

🚨 #Jarai communities in #Ratanakiri, #Camboja 🇰🇭 blocked drilling equipment after a #mining company arrived on their farmland with zero notice or consultation.

A license ≠ consent. No #FPIC. Communities left to defend their land themselves.

#India’s $9B Great #Nicobar Project is a state-sponsored assault on Indigenous sovereignty. Forcing a mega-port onto ancestral lands without #FPIC risks the total erasure #Shompen & #Nicobarese peoples.

Development without consent is violence. 🛑✊🏽

From the #Philippines to #Indonesia, ancestral lands are being mined for the green economy. Nugroho & Asuncion highlight the cost:
🛑 Communities displaced without #FPIC
🛑 Land defenders targeted
