Actually, Phyllis, if you could try and access the controls for metis chat we
can determine if the controls are still there for you. I tried to get to the
web site for the chat controls and I couldn't even get to the page. If you
find that you have the same problem, then we can move it over here to onelist
now. Let me know please when you get a chance.

Thanks,

Ken

Just wanted to welcome all the newcomers to the list! We now have 17 signed on
with others still to come. If you know of anyone who got bumped from the other
list please let them know that it wasn't intentional and that this list is
much more secure as I can manage the controls here.

I may never know completely what happened with the origin-systech list and at
this point it really doesn't matter. We have a safe home here and that's all
that matters. So let's see if we can get back our 60+ members we once had eh?

From: sebastian@...

The participants to the expert international Conference on
THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE RIGHT TO SELF-
DETERMINATION AS A CONTRIBUTION TO CONFLICT
PREVENTION, which took place in Barcelona on 21 to 27
November 1998

reached the following CONCLUSIONS after extensive and
profound debate:

The principle and fundamental right to self-determination of all
peoples is firmly established in international law, including human
rights law, and must be applied equally and universally.

The peaceful implementation of the right to self-determination in
its broad sense is a key contribution to the prevention and
resolution of conflicts, especially those which involve contending
interests of existing states and peoples, including indigenous
peoples, and minority communities.   In this respect it is important
to understand self-determination as an ongoing process of choice
for the achievement of human security and fulfilment of human
needs with a broad scope of possible outcomes and expressions
suited to different specific situations.  These can include, but are
not limited to, guarantees of cultural security, forms of self-
governance and autonomy, economic self-reliance, effective
participation at the international level, land rights and the ability
to care for the natural environment, spiritual freedom and the
various forms that ensure the free expression and protection of
collective identity in dignity.

Self-determination is achieved by fully participatory democratic
processes among the people who are seeking the realisation of
self-determination, including referenda where appropriate. Effective
prevention of conflicts must be pro-active and requires immediate
and committed action.  It is imperative to prevent all actions by any
relevant actors, which include governments, international and
other organizations, individuals and corporations, which may result
in the denial of the exercise of the right to self-determination, such
as demographic aggression or manipulation, cultural assimilation
and the destruction of the natural environment of importance to the
survival of peoples.

The development of a universal sense of respect for cultural and
national diversity and a deeper understanding of self-determination
is essential to the promotion of peace in all parts of the world.  In
order to foster this culture of self-determination, special attention
should be given to the potential positive role of the media and to
the development of self-determination education and its inclusion in
human rights education.

RECOMMENDATIONS
The Conference recommends

To the United Nations:
* to pro-actively engage itself in the prevention and resolution of
conflicts involving states and peoples or minority communities. In
doing so the United Nations should respect and promote the
implementation of self-determination  in the broad sense affirmed
by this conference, as a means to advance peace with justice;

* to create an effective mechanism within the United Nations to
assist in the resolution of self-determination claims and conflicts;

* to create a permanent forum of peoples within the United Nations
system which would have consultative status with the UN.

To UNESCO:
* to undertake further work on the right to self-determination and to
consider preparing special publications on the subject;

* to place special emphasis on the positive role of self-
determination within the framework of its programmes of the culture
of peace, democratisation and cultural pluralism and to incorporate
this in UNESCO's national programs of culture of peace and
reconciliation.

To Intergovernmental and Regional Organisations:
* to place self-determination on the agenda of those organizations
and to take account of the work of the United Nations on the
rights of indigenous peoples and include them in their activities.

To Non-governmental Organisations:
* to promote the right to self-determination, support those peoples
struggling for its implementation and to raise specific cases before
the United Nations Commission on Human Rights and other
appropriate fora.

THE CONFERENCE DECIDES:
* to promote the utilization of existing mechanisms of the United
Nations and other organizations to promote a better understanding
and broader application of the right to self-determination in an
effort to promote peace and justice and, in particular,

* to raise the question of self-determination and the issues
discussed at this and future conferences at the United Nations
Commission on Human Rights.

* in order to build on and continue the work of this Conference,
to create an expert working group on self-determination which
would meet every year before the discussion by the UN
Commission on Human Rights of its agenda item relating to
self-determination.

* to organise regional meetings on self-determination and related
subjects.

* to explore the possibility of publishing a periodical publication on
self-determination and legitimacy of states.

* to create an E-mail list of the conference participants to maintain
communication among them on developments in the field of
self-determination and to exchange  useful documents on the
subject.


These Conclusions and Recommendations will be transmitted to
the Secretary General of the United Nations, the Director General
of UNESCO, the Chairperson of the UN Commission on Human
Rights, the Chairperson of the Working Group on Indigenous
Populations, and will be published as part of the final report of the
Conference.

Hi all, I made a phone call to the Children's
Wish Foundation in Vancouver and while they
are unable to assist with Morgan's on going
needs they gave the following:  Sharon Gove
and Helge Grau are social workers at
Children's Hospital in Vancouver and can be

Yup, twelve of us so far have come over.

The nice thing about this listserv is that you can change your subscription
whenever you want to. That is, if you are changing e-mail providers you only
have to go to the user area and change your information and you get resubbed
under your new e-mail address. We also get free advertising of our list
through their locate system, so any other metis out there that we don't know
about can find us!

Hope you all like the change! I know I do already.
