Seminar – Common Good Foundation (CGF)

2024 MASS ATROCITIES AND THE ENVIRONMENT SYMPOSIUM

Oftentimes when international crimes, genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes are discussed the connection between these crimes and the environment is ignored or often discussed tangentially instead of in direct connection with or as a possible motive for the commission of international crimes. The connection between the environment and mass atrocities and the actions of perpetrators is under-discussed. For example, many activists from Myanmar have raised the issue of the military junta’s source of income being derived from Jade mines in the Kachin region or pearls from the Tanintharyi region. Recent reports indicate gold mining is one of the underlying issues fueling the genocide in Sudan.

Examining the Rights of Peoples in South Asia

On August 9, 2021 the international community will commemorate International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples. Yet, organizations such as the ILO, have noted inconsistent protections for Indigenous Peoples in places throughout Asia. South Asian Tribal People continue to face challenges relating to migration, forced displacement, and human rights violations. Further, the loss of identity and culture is becoming commonplace. COVID 19 has exacerbated many issues for Indigenous People in South Asia. In order to continue to raise awareness around tribal rights, The Common Good Foundation presents a series of lectures titled, “Examining the Rights of Peoples in South Asia.” The situations examined include Nepal, Kashmir, India, and Pakistan.
