    INDIGENOUS GROUPS AND THE DEVELOPING JURISPRUDENCE OF THE AFRICAN COMMISSION ON HUMAN AND PEOPLES’ RIGHTS: SOME REFLECTIONS * GAETANO PENTASSUGLIA I. INTRODUCTION The African Charter on Human and Peoples‟ Rights – also known as the African or Banjul Charter (AfrCH) - lies at the core of the African human rights regime. It was adopted in 1981 and entered into force in 1986 following ratification by a majority of member states of the (then) Organisation of African Unity.1 Together with a number of classical individual rights of civil, political and/or socio-economic nature, it enshrines rights of „peoples‟ in Articles 19 through to 24. The AfrCH is monitored by the African Commission on Human and Peoples‟ Rights (ACHPR), which performs both promotional and protective functions. Such functions are principally organised around examining states‟ reports (Article 62), examining communications from individuals, NGOs or states parties on alleged breaches (Articles 47, 55), and interpreting the AfrCH more generally (Article 45(3)). Importantly individuals or NGOs may petition the ACHPR irrespective of whether they are the direct victims of the violation complained of, subject to pre- defined procedural requirements. As the number of African institutions increases,2 the ACHPR still remains central to enhancing human rights protection in Africa.3 * Fernand Braudel Senior Fellow, Department of Law, European University Institute, Italy, 2010; Senior Lecturer in International Law and Director of the International and European Law Unit, University of Liverpool, UK; Visiting Professor, University of Toronto Faculty of Law, Fall 2009.

Rethinking the Human Right to Water: Water Access and Dispossession in Botswana’s Central Kalahari Game Reserve Abstract This paper engages debates regarding the human right to water through an exploration the recent legal battle between San and Bakgalagadi and the government of Botswana regarding access to water in the Central Kalahari Game Reserve. The paper reviews the legal events that led to the realization of the human right to water through a decision of the Court of Appeal of Botswana in 2011 and the discursive context in which these events took place. We offer a contextual evaluation of the processes that allowed the actual realization of the human right to water for the residents of the Central Kalahari Game Reserve, revisiting and extending dominant lines of inquiry related to the human right to water in policy and academic debates. Adding to these discussions, we suggest the use of ‘dispossession’ as an analytical lens is a useful starting point for a conceptual reframing of the human right to water.

  • Indigeneity and Development in Botswana the Case of the San in the Central Kalahari Game Reserve Jonathan Woof
    1 Indigeneity and Development in Botswana The Case of the San in the Central Kalahari Game Reserve Jonathan Woof 1 Abstract: This paper discusses how San involved with the Central Kalahari Game Reserve (CKGR) in Botswana express and interpret their sense of indigeneity amidst the systemic marginalization and discrimination that they have experienced. By looking in depth at the case in the CKGR, the nature of prominent San CSOs and impact of the ‘Global North,’ this paper finds that San affirm their sense of indigeneity by critiquing the post-colonial development discourse, attempting to restore their land rights in the CKGR and by implementing ‘life-projects’ which affirm their ontologies and traditions. The findings of the paper suggest that the concept of indigeneity is diverse and complex and may not be as liberating as its proponents hope. 2 Table of Contents Introduction, Methodology and Theoretical Framework .................................................... 1-11 Chapter 1: The Concept of Indigeneity and its Manifestations in Africa and in Botswana... 12-22 Chapter 2: Indigeneity Within the San Community ............................................................... 23-36 Chapter 3: Survival International’s Perception of Indigeneity Compared to the San Community .................................................................................................................................................. 37-41 Chapter 4: Current State of Affairs for the San in the CKGR .............................................. 42-46 Conclusion

  • Indigenous Peoples' Rights in Southern Africa
    INDIGENOUS PEOPLES’ RIGHTS IN SOUTHERN AFRICA: AN INTRODUCTION Robert K. Hitchcock Diana Vinding ndigenous peoples in Africa and their rights have been the focus of I much deliberation and debate in recent years.1 These discussions have taken place in academic institutions and journals in Africa, Eu- rope and North America, as well as within the European Union, the World Bank and the United Nations. A major area of dissent has been whether the concept of “indige- nousness”, and hence of specific “indigenous” rights, could be used in an African context. Most African governments have until now main- tained that all their citizens are indigenous or, alternatively, argued that there is no such thing as an indigenous group in their country. Some researchers and social scientists have stressed that the problems faced by certain ethnic minorities have more to do with poverty than cultur- al differences and the problems they face should therefore be alleviated by welfare and development measures (see Saugestad, this volume). There is no single, agreed-upon definition of the term “indigenous peoples” but, as Saugestad mentions in her Overview (this volume), the four most often invoked elements are: (1) a priority in time; (2) the voluntary perpetuation of cultural distinctiveness; (3) an experience of subjugation, marginalisation and dispossession; (4) and self-identifica- tion. Often, the term indigenous is used to refer to those individuals and groups who are descendants of the original populations (that is, the “first nations”) residing in a country. In the case of Africa this rais- es particular problems. Africa is the continent with the longest history of human occupation, and it contains the greatest range of human ge- netic and cultural diversity.
