  • Disentangling the Conundrum of Self-Determination and Its Implications in Greenland Abstract
    Disentangling the conundrum of self-determination and its implications in Greenland Abstract: In 2009, the Act on Greenland Self-Government was adopted. It recognises that “the people of Greenland is a people pursuant to international law with the right of self-determination”. Within this framework, the people of Greenland have gained significant control over their own affairs and the right to decide to accede to independence. Yet, the extent to which this framework ensures the right of self- determination in accordance with fundamental human rights can still be questioned. From a human rights perspective, the right of self-determination is not a one-time right. It is fundamental human right that applies in different contexts beyond decolonisation and which has implications not only for colonial peoples but also for the population of all territories, including indigenous and minorities groups. From this perspective, this contribution seeks to disentangle and analyse the different facets of self-determination in the Greenlandic context while considering the implications of the right based on the multifarious identity of the peoples living in Greenland as colonial people, citizens, indigenous and minority groups, including their claim to control resources in the mining context. Key words: Greenland, Inuit, self-determination, indigenous peoples, independence, UNDRIP, mining activities, Inughuit Introduction The exercise of the right to self-determination in Greenland is an important but unsettled question under international law. Until 1954, Greenland was governed as a colony of Denmark and was listed as a non-self-governing territory in accordance with Chapter XI of the Charter of the United Nations. Subsequently, the colonial status of Greenland was dissolved as the territory was incorporated in the Kingdom of Denmark and the territory was withdrawn from the list of non-self-governing territories.

    International Study Guide Series Denmark Montana 4-H Center for Youth Development, Montana State University Extension 1 MONTANA 4‐H INTERNATIONAL STUDY SERIES The 4‐H program has had an active role in Montana youth and volunteer development for almost 100 years. It is most well‐known for its local emphasis, but 4‐H does exist in a broader context ‐ from a local to an international level. The ultimate objective of 4‐H international and cross‐cultural programming is "peace through understanding." Extension Service efforts help young people achieve this overall goal by encouraging them to: realize the significance of global interdependency; develop positive cross‐cultural attitudes and skills that enhance understanding and acceptance of people from other ethnic, social, or economic backgrounds; appreciate for the similarities and differences among all people; assume global citizenship responsibilities; develop an understanding of the values and attitudes of Americans. Since the introduction of international 4‐H opportunities in 1948, the Montana 4‐H program has been committed to the goal of global awareness and increasing cross‐cultural understanding. Cultures are becoming more dependent upon one another for goods, services, food, and fiber. Montana's role in the international trade arena is ever‐growing. The acquisition of increased knowledge of the markets and the people who influence those markets is crucial to the residents of our state. The 4‐H international programs are coordinated by States’ 4‐H International Exchange Programs (S4‐H) for participating state 4‐H Youth Development programs. Funding for the exchange programs is provided on the state level by the Montana 4‐H Foundation through private donations and contributions.

He describes it as the crater of an extinct volcano, lying at a slight elevation between two " dambos " or " vleys."

  • Different Paths Towards Autonomy
    Háskóli Íslands Hugvísindasvið Sagnfræði Different paths towards autonomy: A comparison of the political status of the Faroe Islands and th Iceland in the first half of the 19 century Ritgerð til B. A.- prófs Regin Winther Poulsen Kt.: 111094-3579 Leiðbeinandi: Anna Agnarsdóttir Janúar 2018 Abstract This dissertation is a comparison of the political status of Iceland and the Faroe Islands within the Danish kingdom during the first half of the 19th century. Though they share a common history, the two dependencies took a radically different path towards autonomy during this period. Today Iceland is a republic while the Faroes still are a part of the Danish kingdom. This study examines the difference between the agendas of the two Danish dependencies in the Rigsdagen, the first Danish legislature, when it met for the first time in 1848 to discuss the first Danish constitution, the so-called Junigrundloven. In order to explain why the political agendas of the dependencies were so different, it is necessary to study in detail the years before 1848. The administration, trade and culture of the two dependencies are examined in order to provide the background for the discussion of the quite different political status Iceland and the Faroes had within the Danish kingdom. Furthermore, the debates in the Danish state assemblies regarding the re-establishment of the Alþingi in 1843 are discussed in comparison to the debates in the same assemblies regarding the re-establishment of the Løgting in 1844 and 1846. Even though the state assemblies received similar petitions from both dependencies, Alþingi was re-established in 1843, while the same did not happen with the Løgting in the Faroes.

The :information opens with a reference to the change in the constitutional posi ti~n of Greenland and to the notification by Dentnal•k that the .obliget~on t.o transmit information u~der Article 73 e is considered to have ceased as from .5 June 1953. Since the info1•mation submitted in 1953 covered the period ending 31 March. 1953,gj the. period f~om 1 April . to 5 June 1953 remains to be ~ported on. The Government of Denmark states that, in view of the fact that this report will be the last, i't has ~onsidered it expedi.ent to give a compendium of de~relopments during the years which led to the constitutional amendment of ' · 5 J'une 1953, rather than place ~)le main stress, as hitherto, on an individual . year. In consequence, this summary is similarly comprehensive. Where a year is mentioned without qualification, it refers to the twelve months end.ing 31 March in the ye&r given. The currency is the Greenland kron~r, which is on terms of parity with the Danish kroner, and is equivalent to $0.14477 in u.s.

Pulvertaft GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF DENMARK AND GREENLAND MINISTRY OF CLIMATE AND ENERGY Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland Bulletin 18 Keywords Archaean, Caledonides, Cenozoic, economic geology, geological map, Greenland, ice sheet, Mesozoic, offshore, orogenic belts, Palaeozoic, petroleum, Phanerozoic, Proterozoic, sedimentary basins. Cover illustration The cover design depicts mountains of the East Greenland Caledonian fold belt. The view, west of Mestersvig (located on map, page 4), is north over Bersærkerbræ and the northern part of the Stauning Alper to Kong Oscar Fjord with Traill Ø in the right backgro- und. The mountains up to 1800 m high are of the Neoproterozoic Eleonore Bay Supergroup. To the right: first author Niels Henriksen, for many years head of geological mapping at GGU/GEUS, and participant in field work in Greenland for more than 45 years. Frontispiece: facing page Major Caledonian syncline involving reactivated Archaean basement gneisses containing amphibolite bands. Overlying rusty coloured Mesoproterozoic metasediments (Krummedal supracrustal sequence) just visible in tight core of the fold. The intensity of deformation in the syncline clearly increases towards the core, where the basement gneisses become more strongly foliated. Some of the amphibolite bands were derived from cross-cutting basic intrusions, which are still discernable in the less severely deformed parts of the Archaean basement (Fig. 17, p. 31). The height of the section is c. 2000 m.
