Potential invites for 2nd International Summit On Self Determination.
MEDIA REFERENCES – EACH MOVEMENT:
ALL INDEPENDENCE MOVEMENTS:
Note: Not every independence movement was included – some have stopped agitating for independence because the government agreed to work with them to acknowledge their concerns. This situation may change and deteriorate, causing a renewed push for independence – but at the moment, some movements are not included because they don’t seem to be agitating for independence currently. Good examples are; QUEBECK (Canada), GIBRALTAR (England), SAVOY (France), CHIAPAS (Mexico), NUNATSIAVUT (Canada)

UN IS NOT DESIGNED TO HEAR INDEPENDENCE VOICES
The UN is designed to keep peace between nations and within nations. It is not designed to be focused on hearing unrecognized peoples and generally will bias itself in favor of existing nations. Hence a different forum is needed for many issues dealing with democratic accountability to adequately be heard.
EXAMPLES:
“The conflict in Cameroon’s Anglophone areas has drawn comparatively little international attention. The United Nations Security Council will address the crisis for the first time in an informal meeting on May 13, and yet it has displaced more than half a million people over the past 20 months.”
https://foreignpolicy.com/2019/05/13/cameroons-separatist-movement-is-going-international-ambazonia-military-forces-amf-anglophone-crisis/
“U.N. says won’t play a part in Iraqi Kurdish referendum”
https://www.reuters.com/article/world/un-says-wont-play-a-part-in-iraqi-kurdish-referendum-idUSKBN1961UD/
“The report denounces that the EU Commission’s 2020 and 2021 rule of law reports are “completely silent on the numerous rule of law infringements the Spanish government has committed in response to the 2017 Independence Referendum in Catalonia”,
https://int.assemblea.cat/news/eu-commission-double-standards-spain-catalonia-unjustifiable/
“Security Council Fails to Recommend Full United Nations Membership for State of Palestine”
https://press.un.org/en/2024/sc15670.doc.htm
“We’re trying our best, and we’re voting peacefully, you know, not any violence or anything, every Sikh outside India. Because in India, they cannot talk. So, we are voting in every state wherever we can.”
https://sfstandard.com/2024/01/28/sikhs-converge-on-san-francisco-to-vote-for-an-independent-state/
“A delegation of Lakota Elders has been refused the opportunity to personally deliver an official Complaint of Genocide against the United States to United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon, his staff, or any other high ranking United Nations officials.”
https://truthout.org/articles/united-nations-fails-to-accommodate-lakota-genocide-complaint-un-sends-security-chief-instead-of-diplomat-to-meet-lakota-delegation/
“In doing so, it also cast light on how poorly politicians and journalists in the US understand matters significant to Indian Country. The heart of the Indigenous struggle in America concerns treaty rights and an ongoing effort to ensure the federal government lives up to these historic pacts.”
