	The Protection of Indigenous Peoples’ Rights Over Lands and Natural Resources ...
		Indigenous peoples have explained that, because of the profound relationship that indigenous peoples have to their lands, territories and resources, there is a need for a different conceptual framework to understand this relationship and a need for recognition of the cultural differences that exist.
		Indigenous peoples are protected from displacement from their lands and are guaranteed the right to participate, with adequate financing from the state, in the formulation of priorities in plans and projects for the development and improvement of their economic and social conditions.
		Indigenous peoples are then vulnerable to the practices of government officials who may regard indigenous peoples’ land as property of the state, and indigenous peoples are deprived of the ability to effectively and freely develop their lands and resources on their own terms.

	[JUST] International Movement For A Just World
		Overview: Following the death of the prophet, Islam was responsible for creating within the short space of a few centuries a world civilisation in which people of diverse ethnic backgrounds and political traditions participated, and an environment conducive to intellectual and cultural achievements of extraordinary range and depth.
		To a considerable extent, the European movement was greatly indebted to its Islamic counterpart.
		It is worth noting therefore that not all radical Islamist movements have made the recourse to violence the centre piece of their strategy, and only a few have placed it at the heart of their philosophy.

	Malaysian Laws on Apostasy Inadequate (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		As Salleh Buang, a noted academic on Malaysian law, notes, "to date, there are no written laws by way of a State enactment or federal territory act that provides for the situations in which a Muslim wishes to become an apostate.
		And in most States, "there are no laws that clearly sanction against 'influential second parties' that are proven to be a source of undue influence upon the Muslim youth who have forsaken the religion into which they were born," adds Buang.
		And the last thing the peoples of Malaysia need, especially when stricken by economic problems that stem from the lack of investor confidence, is political turmoil or instability.

		Here was a political movement which immediately won the support and backing of large numbers of Malays, Chinese and Indians (it was essentially a Peninsula affair) from both the lower- and middle-classes, and which also enjoyed support from a large number of those from the professions.
		Behind Parti Keadilan Nasional stands Anwar Ibrahim, and if the party is campaigning for his release from prison, it is so that he may lead the Reformasi movement for genuine democracy and social justice, not so that he may rest at home.
		Parti Rakyat Malaysia, for its part, has a distinguished record of unswerving loyalty to the principles of social justice, which is at the heart of all socialist thinking.

	DAMS, FISH AND FISHERIES- Opportunities, challenges and conflict resolution
		Kvernevik (1997) concluded that fishes in Malaysian rivers utilized migration as an important adaptive tactic, and that migratory species were more common in the Kelantan River system, which has no large hydroelectric dams acting as barriers, than in the Perak River where there are four large hydroelectric dams acting as mainstream barriers.
		Roberts (1995) discussed impacts from 12 hydropower projects on the mainstream of the Mekong River and stressed that the combined impact on fisheries from these dams is greater than the sum of the individual impacts.
		This may, however, be a mute point because fish movements (and particularly those of migratory species) in the river were blocked in 1981 by the Changjiang Low Dam at Gezhouba (Zhong and Power, 1996).

		In June 1999, the Yanacona indigenous people, that inhabit the region of the Macizo Colombiano in the Department of Cauca suffered from damages caused by spraying with glyphosate in plots that were not cultivated with poppy.
		Malaysian investment in Guyana is yet another example of the spread of monoculture oil palm plantations throughout the tropics, which is causing widespread social and environmental impacts in Asia, Africa and Central and South America, while generating very few benefits to local people.
		The Tree Farms project has provoked the eviction of some 8,000 people from 13 villages -mainly farmers and fisherfolk- from their lands, that the company is now occupying, condemning them to poverty due to the loss of their livelihoods, and creating a source of social and environmental conflicts.

		These 70 million people speak some 200 distinct languages and are concentrated in the “tribal belt” of central India, with a second concentration in the northeast.
		According to official government figures, between 1.2 and 6 million people are classified as suku suku terasing (isolated and alien tribes) or masyrakat terasing (isolated and alien people) by the Department of Social Affairs (Depsos) and the Department of Agriculture.

	ethnocide
		His government, he said, was creating a “long-term policy for the administration and advancement of the aborigines” in order “to absorb these people into the stream of national life in a way, and at a pace, which will adopt and not destroy their traditional way of living and culture” (quoted in Jones 1968: 302).
		Among groups which traditionally had leaders, like the Temuan, the people's hereditary or chosen leader, if acceptable to the Department, is officially recognized and earns a small salary, conditional on his acting as liaison, conveying his group's concerns to the Department, and organizing and motivating the people to carry out the Department's wishes.
		Elsewhere, a Malaysian observer remarks wrtly, “Most of the time the [religious officer] is nowhere to be found and is always out of the village.” Still, the policies of Islamization and “positive discrimination” for Islamized communities remain in place, although the department has become less forthcoming about them.

	AHRC - PETITION TO THE MALAYSIAN GOVERNMENT (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Detaining them under the ISA means that the government does not have to prove their charges in court, there is no way for the people who are arrested to prove their innocence, and also the society will never be sure that the allegaitons are true.
		Arbitrary arrest and detention without trial under such national security law as the ISA is a violation of the fundamental rights to freedom of expression and assembly, to recourse to legal defence and a fair trial and in itself amounts to a form of torture.
		Furthermore, it is the experience of peoples’ movements and human rights defenders in many places in Asia, where similar national security laws exist (Korea, Sri Lanka, Indonesia…) that these laws – themselves a colonial heritage – are being now being used to intimidate and curb peoples’ organisation for political, economic and social refoms.

		The attacks on Sept. 11, 2001 convinced the president, his administration and the American people as a whole that the status quo of relations between America and most of the Islamic world could not continue, for the very simple reason that the status quo was deadly to thousands of Americans, killed on their own soil.
		If their governments can be reformed, and their people freed of the chains which bind them and cripple them, they will begin to achieve, and to become proud of their accomplishments.
		Rather, Islamism as a political movement, and as a body of law, and as a form of government must be eliminated, leaving Islam as a religion largely untouched except to the extent that it will be forced to be tolerant.

		Last month, Britain sponsored a Security Council resolution that called on all governments to adopt laws prohibiting people from "inciting" others to commit terrorist acts, and to deny safe haven to anyone seriously considered guilty of such conduct.
		With the United States fully backing Britain, the resolution was unanimously adopted by all 15 members of the Council, despite strong criticism from the world's leading human rights groups and many developing nations who feared that it could be used to suppress political opposition.
		"Putting people under house arrest for a year by a control order is tantamount to jailing people without trial," says Brad Adams, Asia director of the New York-based Human Rights Watch.
