GENEVA -- Native Hawaiians want the US military off their lands, and training exercises in the Pacific shut down. An aquifer has been poisoned in Honolulu, and unexploded ordinances left behind make lands inaccessible.

Christopher Edward said the U.S. military installation in Hawaii is the largest in the world, 200,000 acres, and has resulted in the displacement of Native Hawaiians from their traditional lands. Edward testified before the United Nations Expert Mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

Edward joined Indigenous from around the world in reporting human rights abuses, during the session, "The Impact of Militarization on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples."

Russia's Arctic Indigenous Share Common Struggle with Paiute Shoshone in Nevada: Battling the Fake Green Monster

Indigenous in Russia's Arctic share a common struggle with Paiute Shoshone in Nevada. They have been fighting the green hype proclaiming disastrous mining as the new green. In Nevada, Paiute Shoshone are battling Lithium Americas, now digging into the Paiute Massacre Site for lithium.

In Russia's far north some of the world's worst environmental disasters have occurred from nickel mining, chasing the dollars for metals for electric car batteries.

We seldom hear about this in the U.S. The testimony at the UN Expert Mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples in Geneva, in July, opened a door, sharing the common struggles, and how corporations target remote Indigenous lands for destructive mining, and then destroy the land and water, while politicians promote it all, and could care less about carcinogens in the rivers and the desecration of sacred places.

Peru Approves US Soldiers as Indigenous Women Plead for Help at United Nations

By Brenda Norrell, Censored News, July 28, 2023

There was an enormous amount of testimony before the United Nations and much of it we never hear about. Mothers in Peru, desperate for help, said children are being murdered, as those who marched against the current coup are being stalked and killed. Between December and March, Peru's police and army killed 77 people during protests.

Peru voted to bring in the US military, from June until December 2023. The US soldiers in Peru are from US special forces, the US air force, and the US space force, according to Merco Press.

In the jungles of Peru, Indigenous women have no way to battle US special forces and US satellites. Indigenous in the Amazon testified to the UN Expert Mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples in Geneva.
