Colonialism and Environment

Western Sahara - The destruction of biodiversity by modern colonialism by Axel Goldau, Translated by Nele Saworski
With delicate fine paintings by the Sahrawian artist Fadel Jalifa
Kritische Oekologie Special, May 2008

The Ninth Meeting of the Conference of the Parties of the Convention on Biodiversity (CBD)(COP9) and the Fourth Meeting of Parties to the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety (MOP4), will both take place in May 2008. Delegates from all the 190 member states of the Convention will be on the conference hosted by Germany from 19 to 30 May 2008.
The term ‘colonialism’ will not be mentioned neither on the Conference (COP9) nor on the Meeting (MOP4.) And the problems concerning biodiversity that result from “modern colonialism” will not be addressed.
It may or may not be a coincidence that the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) in 1991 / 1992 and the founding of the United Nations Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara (MINURSO) have set in motion important processes. But so far, these processes have not led to any solutions to the problems the organisations set out to solve. The loss of biological diversity has quickened its pace. International pharmaceutical and agro- corporations threat the existence of people all around the world, and the UN completely failed to decolonize Western Sahara. The former Spanish colony is still one of 16 countries on the United Nations list of non- self governing territories. Apart from St. Helena it is the last on the African Continent.

Message on World Press Freedom Day

The Saharawi Journalists and Writers Union issued an open letter to the international public opinion and international community to condemn the Moroccan systematic human rights violations in Western Sahara.

It also reminded the "United Nations, especially the Security Council, that the Saharawi people has got an inalienable right to self-determination and independence, and that the Saharawi people only, are the side that have the power to decide over the political future and status of Western Sahara. The right to self-determination is a fundamental right granted by the UNs Charter and international legality to all peoples, and thus the Saharawi people will exercise it, and will make use of all relevant means to do make this happen", the letter reads.
