[DRAFT] Indigenous Land Stewardship Proposal

[Santa Thereza]

Esteemed Varanius, UPC, Merethin, Islandwalk, and Moduland
Fellow WA delegates and members,

I have submitted the INDIGENOUS LAND STEWARDSHIP proposal to the WA assembly and would welcome your feedback and approval to bring it to a vote.

https://www.nationstates.net/page=UN_vi ... 1791560258

It is a fully voluntary, opt-in framework that encourages consultation with Indigenous and originary peoples, while each nation sets its own participation targets and keeps final authority over land use.The text carries no vetoes, penalties, or external enforcement, so it protects biodiversity without restricting sovereignty or economic growth.

I’m excited by an Indigenous-focused proposal, and I’d be grateful for your thoughts and, if you find it worthy, your endorsement.

Warm regards,

Santa Thereza
WA Member. WA Delegate (2020-2024 non-consecutive)
Prev. South America President (2021-2023)

I support this proposal in theory, but not as written. It creates apparently inconsistent mandates ("Member state officials shall facilitate voluntary ILSA TASK FORCES"). It also technically doesn't apply to any nation, however willing, because you say that "A member state joins by adhering to the Indigenous Lands Accord proposal in the WA Assembly" while the name of your proposal is actually Indigenous Land Stewardship. I would recommend going back and drafting your proposal on this thread in the highly likely event that it does not go to vote.

The WA Secretariat only makes recommendations for proposals. They can't approve your proposal just because they are in the Secretariat, even though two of the five members are WA Delegates in their own rights.
