Rede von Rudolf B\u00fchler, Wolpertshausen, bei der UNO in New York<\/em><\/p>\n

Excellencies and Delegates,<\/strong><\/p>\n

all Honorable Guests of the UN Debate on Human Rights in the Light of the 50th\u00a0Universary of the Declaration of Human Rights.\u00a0I am extremely thankful for the chance to raise the question about the situation of\u00a0the peasants and small scale farmers in the so called developed countries as well as\u00a0for the pastoral tribes, peasants and indigenous subsistence farmers in the so called\u00a0developing countries who are lost and forgotten about their daily struggle.\u00a0They do have no lobby. Although some work has been already done in the past\u00a0concerning the rights of seeds and food. These activities are highly appreciated, but\u00a0they are only within a particular approach and do not cover the situation and needs\u00a0as a whole which is urgently needed for the struggle of the rural peasants, small\u00a0scale farmers, subsistence farming family and pastoral tribes concerning its\u00a0recognition by governmental bodies and international organizations.<\/p>\n

Message<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Human Rights Convention is so far not covering the specific situation of smale\u00a0scale and indigenous farmers, pastoral tribes and their rural societies. They are the\u00a0forgotten losers in\u00a0 decades of industrial development and global trade. They are\u00a0robbed of their common assets as e.g. their autochthone plants and animal breeds\u00a0which they have developed themselves as their treasures and values over centuries.<\/p>\n

We call that bio piracy<\/strong><\/p>\n

Traditional and rare breeds and rare plants are often taken by multinationals as\u00a0resources for their business cases and manufacturing of valuable and economic\u00a0feasible products, but the small scale farmers and indigenous people remain robbed\u00a0without any compensation.\u00a0But again: these breeds and plants are the common assets of the rural societies\u00a0which were developed by them over centuries by domestication and natural\u00a0preservation! These are their assets and the foundation of subsistence farming and\u00a0serve substantially to the income of their rural societies.\u00a0As soon as third parties have taken and copied these breed and plants, the\u00a0multinationals put their patent upon these breeds and plants generating their\u00a0commercial profit out of the assets and values that belong to peasants and\u00a0indigenous farming communities.\u00a0Even the indigenous knowledge of those rural and indigenous societies, passed on\u00a0orally through generations and centuries, is not covered and not protected by\u00a0WIPO, the „UN World Intellectual Property Organization“ since it is still not\u00a0considered as a valuable knowledge by the developed industrial societies.\u00a0Furthermore free access to land and to the natural resources by peasants and\u00a0pastoral tribes is often banned and blocked due to political and economical\u00a0influence and actions.<\/p>\n

Loosers in\u00a0commercial markets<\/strong><\/p>\n

Peasants and small scale farmers and food producers are as well the loosers in\u00a0commercial markets since they do not get their fair share upon the\u00a0commercialization of their products along the value chain. The prevailing local,\u00a0national and global terms of trade and its framework are benefitting the\u00a0multinational traders and local producers remain poor and in poverty.\u00a0These attempts against the rural farmer communities, peasants, pastoral tribes and\u00a0people in rural areas in general, leads to starvation, social discrimination and legal\u00a0unjustice and effects their human situation more than even weapons and war.\u00a0Its a silent commercial war against those marginated people. They are in a process\u00a0of losing their fundamental rights and assets and getting the modern slaves of\u00a0worldwide monopolized capital and commercial imperialism.<\/p>\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/p>\n

As these peasants, small scale and indigenous farmers, pastoral tribes and people\u00a0living in rural areas are highly underprivileged and are the victims of the\u00a0commercial global trade, they have to be enabled with a legal framework to claim\u00a0their basic rights in order to defend their common assets and their cultural life.\u00a0This is a highly relevant issue for combatting discrimination and inequalities,\u00a0strengthening governance and access to justice in order to enable them an active\u00a0share and participation on the wealth of modern human societies.\u00a0It is further proved, that rural farmers who are employing natural friendly and\u00a0organic practices, are factor 4 more efficient in the production of food and\u00a0agricultural products as the industrial\/chemical farming systems.\u00a0This means, since in future efficiency in sustainable agrarian systems have to be\u00a0measured and proved upon natural and energy balances as well as external costs\u00a0and values, these small scale farmers will even play a substantial role in feeding the\u00a0world and the fight against starvation.<\/p>\n

„Convention for the\u00a0Protection of Peasant’s Rights“<\/strong><\/p>\n

So action has to be taken to realize the protection of the values and agrarian\u00a0systems of the peasants, small scale farmers, pastoral tribes and indigenous\u00a0subsistence farmers within rural societies leading to a „Convention for the\u00a0Protection of Peasant’s Rights“. This will contribute also to the progress on peace,\u00a0food security and sustainable development of global societies.<\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/strong><\/p>\n

As I am myself\u00a0 also a rural peasant on our family farm, I am now more than 35\u00a0years engaged and committed to rural development projects with small scale\u00a0farmers and indigenous people in Africa, Asia, Arabic and European countries.\u00a0My long term experience as agricultural expert gave me a deep insight into rural\u00a0cultural live and its issues. I experienced quite often the constraints of rural life and\u00a0the under privileged situation of the rural farmers, pasture tribes, nomadic and\u00a0landless people.\u00a0As these rural people and societies have developed over centuries the natural\u00a0treasures of animal and plant breeds, nowadays their assets are subject to bio piracy\u00a0and taken as business case by the large international agrochemical companies.<\/p>\n

Legal framework for the protection of the peasant’s rights<\/strong><\/p>\n

The poor farmers and rural people are just a lawless standby. Their treasures are\u00a0taken and robbed just as they would be a free source to anybody. So they are\u00a0remaining poor, not getting share out of their indigenous values.\u00a0Other issues are landgrabbing, enviromental pollution and patents on so called wild\u00a0medicinal plants and the indigenous knowledge upon it.\u00a0I am convinced that only a legal framework for the protection of the peasant’s rights\u00a0can solve this worldwide problem. All project work in rural areas will be useless\u00a0and blamed, if at the end the large international capital takes away the values of\u00a0whom the farmers and rural people should be benefitted.<\/p>\n

„Global Peasant’s Rights Congress“<\/strong><\/p>\n

All stakeholders interested and engaged into those important issues are kindly\u00a0invited to join and participate in our „Global Peasant’s Rights Congress“ that will\u00a0take place in Schw\u00e4bisch Hall and Kirchberg, Germany, held from 8th-10th of\u00a0March 2017.<\/p>\n

Thank you for your kind attention.<\/p>\n
