ANKLAGE FOR RACISME MOD DANMARKS REGERING FOR AT FORSVARE COCA-FORBUD

arton2915

Til Ligebehandlingsnaevnet i Danmark,

9 februar 2011

Læse svaret fra Ligebehandlingsnaevnet og svaret fra Encod på dtte svar

Hermed vil vi gerne klage til Danmarks regering for racemæssig og kulturel diskrimination af oprindelige folk i Andes-regionen i Sydamerika.

I 2009 anmodede Præsident i Bolivia, Evo Morales, FN om at ændre teksten i Singlekonvention om narkotiske stoffer af 1961 Denne ændring ville have sat en stopper for det diskriminerende og videnskabeligt uholdbare forbud mod tygning af kokablade, en ældgammel praksis blandt den indfødte befolkning i Andes-regionen. Arkæologiske fund viser, at kokabladeforbruget går mindst tilbage til 5,000 år f.Kr

Anmodningen blev formuleret på en sådan måde, at ændringen af teksten kun vil gælde for coca de kokaproducerende lande i Andes-regionen, mens det globale system for koka-dyrkning og kokain ville forblive intakt.

Forbuddet mod kokablade i enkeltkonventionen af 1961 var baseret på resultaterne af UN 1950 Kommissionen undersøgelsesudvalg om kokablade. Denne rapport er siden blevet kritiseret af analytikere som vilkårlige, upræcise, racistiske og kulturelt ufølsom.

FN’s procedure for behandling af anmodninger som Bolivias, forudser, at hver af de 190 FN-medlemslande har til at acceptere anmodningen. Hvis blot ét land præsenterer en indsigelse, bliver anmodningen afslået.

Ifølge rapporter, der er kommet ud af de seneste møder i den “Horisontale Drugs Group”, udvalget i EU’s medlemsstater, der beskæftiger sig med narkotikapolitikker, regeringen i De Forenede Stater anmodede Den Europæiske Union om indsigelse mod den bolivianske anmodning.

Motivationen af den amerikanske regering har intet at gøre med karakteren af kokablade og deres regulering. Ifølge en erklæring fra den amerikanske ambassade i Bolivia af den 26. januar 2011, er den amerikanske regerings holdning baseret på vigtigheden af at opretholde integriteten af 1961-konventionen. Integritet i denne forbindelse kan tolkes som, hvad den amerikanske regering anser for at være “den moralske forsvarlighed” i FN-konventionen.

Når fristen for at præsentere indvendinger mod den bolivianske anmodningen udløb den 31. januar, viste det sig, at 17 EU-lande ikke udgør nogen indsigelse. En af dem (Spanien), støttede endda anmodningen åbent.

I januar 2011 præsenterede den danske regering en indsigelse mod den bolivianske anmodning til FN og dermed støtte til opretholdelsen af forbuddet mod traditionelle kokablade forbrug i Bolivia.

Dette forbud må betragtes som en beklagelig handling af racisme, da det kriminaliserer og stigmatiserer en oldtids kulturel praksis uden negative virkninger.

Fra 2007 FN’s erklæring om oprindelige folks rettigheder hedder det, at “oprindelige folk har ret til at opretholde, kontrollere, beskytte og udvikle deres kulturarv, traditionel viden og traditionelle kulturelle udtryksformer.”

I Madrid-erklæringen af Den Europæiske Union – Latinamerika og Caribien, den 18. maj 2010, de europæiske lande anerkendte kulturarv for oprindelige folk.

Danmark har hermed anerkendt ret til indfødte folk til at beskytte og bevare deres kulturelle arv.

Vi opfordrer jer til at tage initiativ til lovgivning, der passer til efterspørgslen og Danmarks regering til at handle i henhold til Madrid-erklæringen, gentegne sin indsigelse til den bolivianske ændring og stoppe begrunde kriminalisering af en kulturel praksis.
