"WE SHALL NOT REST UNTIL WE'VE FREED ALL OUR POLITICAL PRISONERS",
AFFIRMS VIA CAMPESINA [1]

[2]MEETING IN BRASIL
Between 18th and 20th August, La Via Campesina held a Conference on
Human Rights [3]at the Florestan Fernandes National School (Guararema,
São Paulo) in which people's lawyers, rural movements and organisations
discussed the criminalisation of the worldwide struggle borne by social
movements. They brought forth a multitude of proposals aimed at
strengthening, expanding and substantiating LVC's Collective of Human
Rights.
In an interview for the MST website, Leandro Scalabrin - a people's
lawyer for the Movement of Peoples Affected by Dams (MAB) - shared some
of these proposals and stressed the vitality of implementing these in
the prevailing circumstances.
"The meeting went well, we came out feeling very motivated and the
Collective strengthened and broadened. We managed to delve into the
subject of our International Campaigns in order to implement them in
every country and we identified the common challenges posed by the
criminalisation of social struggle worldwide. This work will be
multiplied across all continents and we'll build a safety net for human
rights advocates. We shall not rest until we've freed all our political
prisoners."
Approximately 60 militants from 18 countries in Africa, Asia, Europe and
America partook in the conference, who also engaged with the topic of
International Treaties, which involves peasants' rights and examines the
relation between TNCs and Human Rights.
In this regard, Scalabrin highlighted that LVC denounces the
"architecture of impunity which allows transnational corporations to
command the state, approve laws, and create institutions that serve
private interests to the detriment of public goods and human rights." In
other words, governments are required to "hold corporations legally
accountable for their actions or omissions when they violate human
rights in our countries."
_Continue below for the full interview_
MST WEBSITE: ONE CORE THEME OF THE DEBATE WAS THE CRIMINALISATION OF
SOCIAL MOVEMENTS. WHAT ACTIONS WERE ENVISAGED TO UPHOLD LVC'S
INTERNATIONAL COORDINATION?
Leandro Scalabrin: The information brought forth by the participants at
the conference confirmed the existence of innumerable peasants that have
been detained, 'disappeared', forced into exile, met with violence and
other criminal acts in all continents. We're dealing with a wave of
criminalisation of peoples and movements who are part of La Via
Campesina. There are also political prisons for people who organise the
struggle for their rights and are thus treated as criminals.
In light of this, we discussed the necessity of consolidating LVC's
Collective of Human Rights and of establishing an International Human
Rights Network through which violations of peasants' rights would be
exposed, and also in order to guarantee that appropriate actions are
preceded by broad support and disclosure - in addition to cooperating
with already existing networks and organisations working in this area.
CAN YOU PROVIDE SOME EXAMPLES OF THIS WAVE OF CRIMINALISATION?
In Brasil, there are 44 political prisoners, 10 peasants and 34
indigenous people. The National Security Act has already been used
against social movements, and now they are using Statute 12.850, which
is applied to criminal organisations. This is notably the case of MST in
Goiás. Valdir Misnerovics and Luis Batista Borges have both been
incarcerated since April and May, based on the law against criminal
organisations, for having defended and called for agrarian reform in
Brazil.
There are criminalised people in France and Spain too, and the situation
in Paraguay, Argentina and Honduras is very delicate, but with recurring
characteristics: violence at demonstrations, police brutality,
incarceration, legal actions. In Honduras, Berta Cáceres was
assassinated, and in Brazil Elton Brum dos Santos was killed by the
police with a bullet in his back.
WHAT MECHANISMS WERE DISCUSSED IN ORDER TO GUARANTEE THAT EFFECTIVE
ACTIONS WOULD BE TAKEN IN CASE OF VIOLATIONS?
In order to deal with this difficult reality - other than proposing an
LVC International Human Rights Network joined by allied organisations in
order to establish self-protection mechanisms - legal defence and public
denouncement through the international Human Rights systems were
emphasised. We name this bundle of actions as the "Alert System". One of
its main objectives is to guarantee the self-protection of those who
defend human rights.
LVC WORKS ON JOINT CAMPAIGNS FOR THE SAKE OF MOBILISATION AND AWARENESS
RAISING IN VARIOUS QUESTIONS, IN THE CASE OF POLITICAL PRISONERS, WHAT
PROPOSALS SHOULD BE BROUGHT FORTH?
The proposal to establish a network within LVC's Collective of Human
Rights, as well as the "Alert System", represent in themselves steps
taken towards mobilisation against political prisons. Furthermore, we
shall work on a campaign, building on existing ones, for the sake of
liberating the political prisoners. Departing from this initiative, the
idea is to shed light on our offensive against the criminalisation of
LVC's social movements.
ANOTHER IMPORTANT POINT OF DISCUSSION WAS THAT OF INTERNATIONAL
TREATIES. WHAT INITIATIVES CAN BE EXPECTED TO BE TAKEN IN ORDER TO
EXPAND THE DISSEMINATION OF ITS PROCESSES?
We will conduct seminars to announce said proposals and meet with
national governments in every country in order to present legal
projects, such as in the proposals that appear in the Declaration of
Rights of Peasants - Women and Men and the Binding Treaty on
Transnational Corporations and Human Rights.
We will demand in each and every nation that respective governments vote
in favour of the Declaration of Rights of Peasants - Women and Men, as
well as in favour of implementing the Binding Treaty on Transnational
Corporations and Human Rights.
LVC was present in the international mobilisation that took place in
Geneva in 2014, during the 26th UN Convention on Human Rights when we
managed to pass a resolution destined to render TNCs accountable for the
human rights violations caused through or because of their activities.
It was a close call, as 20 countries voted in favour, 14 against and 13
abstained, including Brazil. The UN recently established an
intergovernmental working group tasked with bringing forth the
accountability standards.
LVC IS PRESENT IN BOTH INSTANCES. WHAT ARE THE MAIN CONCERNS DEFENDED BY
PEASANTS' MOVEMENTS WITHIN THESE TREATIES?
We expose the system of impunity which allows private corporations to
command the state, approve laws, and create institutions that serve
private interests to the detriment of public goods and human rights.
Such processes are entangled with the construction of dams, financing of
electoral campaigns, the contamination of our food with toxicants, the
corporate appropriation of land and labour.
Governments need to establish legal procedures which hold corporations
accountable for their actions or omissions when they violate human
rights in our countries. One such example is the Samarco-Vale/BHP
incident in Brazil, where more than 200 thousand people fell victim to
human rights violations.
HOW WOULD LVC EVALUATE THE CONFERENCE AND WHAT CAN BE EXPECTED WHEN IT
COMES TO CONCRETISING THE COLLECTIVE OF HUMAN RIGHTS IN THE NEXT PERIOD?
The meeting went well, we came out feeling very motivated and the
Collective strengthened and broadened. We managed to delve into the
subject of our International Campaigns in order to implement them in
every country and we identified the common challenges posed by the
criminalisation of social struggle worldwide. These efforts will be
multiplied across all continents and we'll build a safety net for our
human rights advocates. We shall not rest until we've freed all our
political prisoners.

Declaration of LVC Delegation to the 2016 World Social Forum
by La Via Campesina
Declaration of LVC Delegation to the 2016 World Social Forum
Montreal, Quebec, August 14, 2016
"We not only believe that another world is necessary, the members of La
Vía Campesina are already building a better world."
Carlos Marentes, co-coordinator of the North America Region of LVC
We, representatives of member organizations of La Vía Campesina from the
North America Region (Union Paysanne from Quebec, National Farmers
Union, Canada, National Family Farm Coalition, Rural Coalition and
Border Agricultural Workers Project from United States), accompanied by
LVC members from Europe, Palestine and Brazil took part in the World
Social Forum in Montreal, Quebec from August 9-14, 2016.
We were graciously hosted by the Union paysanne and reaffirmed our
support for their struggle to end the syndicate-monopoly control of
agriculture in Quebec, adding our voice to the demand that "There is no
Food Sovereignty without Peasant sovereignty".
In our press conference of August 11th, Maxime Laplante declared: "The
Quebec situation is extremely particular in that there is in Quebec only
one organization having the right to represent farmers here, to
negotiate with the government or to intervene in the management of
marketing plans, marketing, etc. That organization is the Union des
Producteurs Agricoles (UPA). It is the only organization with the legal
right to represent farmers."
La Via Campesina North America woman coordinator and vice-chair of the
National Family Farm Coalition Dena Hoff stated: ''The whole region of
La Via Campesina stands behind Union paysanne in its demands for
recognition by the government of Quebec as the voice of the peasants
struggling for food sovereignty."
The LVC delegation participated enthusiastically in the opening march,
in many workshops, panels and assemblies on the themes of food
sovereignty, the right to food, post extractive societies, agro-ecology
and peoples agrarian reform, and the future of the WSF, among many
topics, together with allies like ETC Group, Grain, Climate Space, the
Indigenous Environmental Network (IEN), Global Justice Now, USC Canada,
SUCO, Why Hunger, Grassroots Global Justice Alliance, Global Forest
Coalition, Focus on the Global South, Development and Peace,
Inter-Pares, Vigilance OGM Québec, and others.
As Dena Hoff, stated: "The fight for food sovereignty will be won with a
million grassroots efforts".
At a time of deepening crises in the world, including massive suffering
of migrants fleeing war, increasing poverty and hunger, extreme weather
events, corporate driven land and resource grabs, the expansion and
consolidation of big agribusiness and monocultures of feed and fuel
plantations across the planet, we declare our firm commitment as LVC to
the life-or-death struggle for food sovereignty, a peoples agrarian
reform, seed and biodiversity sovereignty, the democratization of the
food system and the strong defense of human rights.
We question the use of the concept of "agro-ecology" and climate
buzzwords that are removed from the context of food sovereignty and used
as a means of justifying an expansion of "green washing" or for NGO
fund raising. We insist that agro-ecology signifies a validation of
small and medium scale farming, peasant-led research and innovation, and
it signifies the integration of traditional practices, and peasant and
rural community control of our seeds.
Food sovereignty is the right of farmers and eaters to control their own
food production, processing and distribution with culturally appropriate
foods and equitable compensation and dignity for food providers. We
assert that small-scale farming, fishing, herding, hunting and gathering
are essential in the struggle to bring relief to climate change and
continue feeding humanity. We seek access to land for all, especially
youth with the drive to feed their communities. We seek an end to the
invasion of GMO seeds into our territories and we demand the right of
farmers to continue to produce, save and share their own seeds. We say
"No" to corporate agriculture and say "Yes" to the people of the land
and to the peasant way.
LVC also publically criticized the Canadian Government because many
leaders of important social movements were unable to attend the WSF as
many hundreds of visas were denied, including the visas of two of the
peasant leaders in our delegation.
We have also taken the opportunity provided by the WSF 2016 to express
our solidarity with all the movements currently fighting against
violence, dispossession, exclusion and the attacks against the
democratic rights of people. We specially expressed our solidarity with
the struggle of the Palestinian people against the oppression, and
exploitation at the hands of Zionist Settler Colonialism, the struggle
of our compañeras and compañeros of the Landless Movement of Brazil
against the recent State Coup, the First Nations courageous struggle
against the threats to the integrity of their land posed by tar-sand
exploitation, pipelines and other destructive actions by capital, and
the fight against the increasing violence against black people and
therefore we fully support the Black Lives Matter Movement.
¡GLOBALIZE THE STRUGGLE, GLOBALIZE HOPE!

Press Release: Via Campesina will join 2016 World Social Forum to strengthen and advance food sovereignty and peasants’ rights
by La Via Campesina
VIA CAMPESINA WILL JOIN 2016 WORLD SOCIAL FORUM TO STRENGTHEN AND
ADVANCE FOOD SOVEREIGNTY AND PEASANTS’ RIGHTS [1]
Several delegates comprising women, men, youth, and representing
peasants and migrant agricultural and rural workers from several regions
of La Via Campesina, will carry messages of global solidarity and food
sovereignty at the 2016 World Social Forum this August. The Forum, which
is a collective call for a sustainable and inclusive world, will be held
in Montreal, Canada from the 9th to 14th.
La Via Campesina considers World Social Forum as an important space to
build collective strengths of social movements worldwide - all of whom
are fighting for social, economic, cultural and political justice.
In Montreal, our delegates will collectively organize and participate in
sessions that would address the questions of agrarian reform, climate
justice, peasant led research, alternatives to corporate controlled food
systems, people's sovereignty over corporate impunity, young peasants,
the future of agriculture and many more.
New generation of trade treaties such as TTIP, TTP, CETA, RCEP,
threatening food sovereignty and the rights of peasants and rural
working people will be denounced through mobilizations in Quebec. Such
treaties include anti-people mechanisms such as the Investor State
Dispute Settlement (ISDS)that not just override local and national
judicial systems but also threat democracies. We will join other social
movements and organisations worldwide in creating a collective strategy
to counter and defeat such treaties aimed only at benefiting a few
corporations.
La Via Campesina reaffirms its solidarity to social justice movements
that demand full rights to indigenous peoples, to migrants and to people
of different racial, ethnic and religious background. We collectively
raise our voices against racial discrimination and against policies that
deny migrants peasants and people, their right to equity and safety.
"In a context in which Québec farmers are being held hostage by an
all-powerful union and an agricultural cartel, the Union Paysanne
invites you to join it in celebrating and in making a renewed call for
full freedom of association for farmers in Québec and in all parts of
the world. We are calling for unity, for inclusion, for fraternity, and
for farmers' autonomy. There is no food sovereignty without farmers's
sovereignty! Globalize the struggle! Globalize hope!" Pierre-Olivier
Brassard, young organic vegetable farmer, and administrator for Union
Paysanne that is hosting the delegation.
