DoomsdaysCW<p>From 2019: Criminalization of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HumanRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HumanRights</span></a> Defenders of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousPeoples" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IndigenousPeoples</span></a> Resisting <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ExtractiveIndustries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" 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 noreferrer" 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 noreferrer" 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 noreferrer" 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 noreferrer" 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 noreferrer" 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 noreferrer" 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 noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DAPL</span></a> by <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EnergyTransfer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" 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 noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BayouBridgePipeline</span></a> (collectively the “<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BakkenPipeline" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" 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 noreferrer" 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 noreferrer" 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 noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AntiProtest</span></a> and so-called “<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CriticalInfrastructure" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" 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 noreferrer" 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 noreferrer" 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 noreferrer" 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 noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USConstitution</span></a>.</p><p>5.

The reserve shelters nearly 90 percent of the region’s over-wintering monarch butterfly population.</p><p>"Despite the fact that the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve is internationally protected, decades of degradation of the forest have posed an existential threat to this fragile ecosystem. Over the past four decades, the number of winter roosting sites for the butterflies in the reserve has fallen by over 50 percent, driven in part by illegal logging. </p><p>"After researchers found that 10 percent of total canopy cover had been lost between 2001 and 2012, the Mexican government ramped up enforcement of laws prohibiting logging. Government raids on illegal sawmills in the reserve sharply reduced logging. Yet according to an analysis by the World Wildlife Fund, the rate of forest degradation in the reserve tripled in 2022. </p><p>"To protect these forests — one of the few remaining wintering refuges for migrating monarchs — the local <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Mazahua" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mazahua</span></a> Indigenous community in Crescencio Morales has established its own security force. </p><p>"As these self-described forest defenders from Crescensio Morales fight to protect the monarch butterfly’s refuge, Indigenous leaders took the global stage at the United Nations annual climate change summit in Dubai to wage this battle on a second front: to convince world leaders to recognize the dangers environmental land defenders, particularly in Latin America, face and to build stronger mechanisms to support them.</p><p>"Around the world, environmental activists face increasing violence </p><p>"As their weapons indicate, the world’s environmental defenders need defending. Every day, the councils of Crescencio Morales’ guardia comunales work in shifts, patrolling their community as well as the boundary of the Monarch Biosphere Reserve.

Mexican president Andrés Manuel López Obrador has promised to stop such violence, but the country remains among the world’s deadliest for those defending its pristine ecosystems.

In 2023, more than 50 percent of Mexico’s land fell under these legal regimes, termed <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TierraComunal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TierraComunal</span></a> or <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TierraEjidal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TierraEjidal</span></a> — which roughly translates to communal land.

Yet mounting effects from climate change as well as political and economic pressures mean that some of Mexico’s Indigenous communities have been forced to block highways in protest and appeal for help to protect themselves, their communities, their ecosystems, and their way of life. </p><p>"<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Mexico" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mexico</span></a>’s unique legal regime is especially important for Crescencio Morales because it offers communities in the area, with deep historical and cultural ties to the monarch butterflies, the legal authority to protect the reserve. But the law can only do so much to protect the refuge and its migrating butterflies from illegal logging pressure.</p><p>"To prevent destruction of the Monarch Biosphere Reserve, Indigenous activists have taken their security and that of the butterflies’ precious trees into their own hands. When I visited Crescencio Morales earlier this year, I walked with a community policeman named Aurelio during an armed patrol along his community’s border. (We are withholding his identity and using a pseudonym to protect him from being targeted by local violence.) At the summit of one of the hills surrounding the community, Aurelio told me Crescencio Morales had been forced to arm itself to protect its people, butterflies, and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Forests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Forests</span></a>.</p><p>"The security situation in towns such as <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CrescencioMorales" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CrescencioMorales</span></a> is complex. According to other community leaders I spoke with this year, who wished to remain anonymous due to security risks, the locals did not trust the army or the state police, which they often suspected of cutting business deals with the cartels. Armed security volunteers who protected the community from <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/taladores" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>taladores</span></a>, the illegal loggers, patrolled their town in pickup trucks. </p><p>"These hyperlocal battles — on highways and in open warfare by the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GuardiasComunales" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GuardiasComunales</span></a> — have larger stakes: Mexican Indigenous environmental activists are defending landscapes that have implications for global <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/biodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>biodiversity</span></a>. Without their efforts, environmentalists fear systemic <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/deforestation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>deforestation</span></a> from illegal logging, which would not only destroy habitat for vulnerable species but also increase the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GreenhouseGas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GreenhouseGas</span></a> emissions that further drive <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateChange</span></a>.
