Why Self Determination?, Nilavaram 150 th Program-1- 5/5 Self-determination or the right to self-determination is a theoretical principle that a people should have the freedom to determine their own governmental forms and structures.

However, the right to self-determination has been most effectively employed in the decolonization movement. Because there is a percieved risk that applying the principle of self-determination leads to the fragmentation of states, states have resisted the demand by people for their right to self determination.

Philip Jones Griffiths (#2) - Air date: 01-20-93 Philip Jones Griffiths (b. 1936) is a Welsh-born photojournalist known for his coverage of the Vietnam war. Griffiths studied pharmacy but started as a freelance photographer in 1961, traveling to Algeria in 1962. He arrived in Vietnam in 1966, working for the Magnum agency. Magnum found his images difficult to sell to American magazines, as they concentrated on the suffering of the Vietnamese people and reflected Griffiths's view of the war as an episode in the continuing decolonisation of former European possessions. He was able to get a 'scoop' that the American outlets liked, photographs of Jackie Kennedy vacationing with a male friend in Cambodia. The proceeds of these photos enabled him to continue his coverage of Vietnam and to publish Vietnam Inc. in 1971. The book had a major influence on American perceptions of the war, and became a classic of photojournalism. In 2001 the book was reprinted with a foreword by Noam Chomsky.

Journey to the end of oblivion (working title) Synopsis 46-year-old Marthin, the mixed race son of a Dutch mother and an Indonesian father, Selfi*** Djelau, is in search of his Indonesian roots from which he has been severed since the age of five. His desire is to reclaim this name and this multiraciality inherited from a father he never knew and whose personal history is intimately linked to the history of his country. Selfi*** Djelau and his friend Mozes Mangar arrived in the Netherlands in 1951 along with some 12500 Indonesians, Moluccan soldiers of the Dutch colonial army and their families. Selfi*** and Mozes, both hailing from the Aru Isles, were officially expatriated "on a temporary basis" and obliged, as were their companions-in-arms, to leave the Moluccan archipelago after the decolonisation and the unification of Indonesia. Today Marthin accompanies 80 year-old Mozes, sole survivor of the 36 Arunese soldiers, who is starting on a last journey to his native village. Marthin will be slowly immersing himself in a world forgotten by time and will discover an extensive Arunese family who welcomes him as a hero. The reconstruction of Marthin's identity, and Mozes' farewell to his family takes us on a journey between two countries, the land of exile and the land of the heart.

The Act of Free Choice - Free West Papua Demonstration 01/12/09,Indonesian Embassy, London West Papuans celebrated today what is long held to be West Papua's independence day despite Indonesian dictatorship and suppression of West Papuan culture. The event, celebrated around the world and in the country, counted with the support of the Free West Papua movement in London and the support of International Parlamentarians for West Papua, first established in 2008 and International Lawyers for West Papua. In London, the symbolic launch of the book "An Act of Free colonisation and the Right to Self Determination in West Papua" by PJ Drooglever, marked the day, with talks at no1 Parliament Street, culminating in MP Andrew Smith alongside West Papuan Chief Benny Wenda delivering the book to the Foreign & CommonWealth Office, in a gesture to "educate the UK Government and the world" of the situation in West Papua. A demonstration in front of the Indonesian Embassy in London also took place as well as letter which was delivered by hand by West Papuan Chief Benny Wenda and wife Maria, despite Indonesian Embassy officials refusing to personally receive the letter. Drooglever's book, deals with a 1969 act which was presented by Indonesian military and is largely regarded as a whitewash with a claim that West Papuans had chosen Indonesian rule rather than independence. For this effect, the Indonesian government had selected a little over 1000 Melanesian men as West Papuan representatives, around 0.9% of the population, to make the claim. Although, the UN General ...

name that movie 'name that movie' 9 minutes and 30 seconds the screen-based world - is it the reflector or the director? do we imitate it, or does it imitate us? 'name that movie' explores common colonisation techniques through the "gods eye" of mainstream movies with an international reach. when witnessing a recurring action, some say 'i've seen that movie'. it is an ambiguous expression of dismissal / resignation / fatigue, recognising predictability and history repeating itself. unless of course you haven't seen the movie or are unaware of the history, then the expression is a way of opening up discussion. naming and defining is a way of breaking down the power of neo-liberal actions. in this instance 'name that movie' is a video that's set up like a game, a drinking game maybe? the object of the game is to guess the movie through summary cues and a film excerpt. there are only nine (re)colonisation techniques named here, but there are plenty more. if you don't recognise these movies then when you're next on the couch -- keep your sharp eye open. if you do recognise these colonisation techniques, then you need to get off the couch -- with your sharp tongue! keep naming the movies.
Predator cheating on the port of origin On 12 October 2007, the vessel Predator entered the Port of Tauranga, New Zealand. The vessel claimed to be coming from the port of Jorf Lasfar in Morocco. Actually, she came from El Aaiun in occupied Western Sahara. Trading with phosphates from the occupied territory is in violation of international law, since it is done in violation of the wishes and interests of the people of Western Sahara, the Sahrawis. The vessel is owned, operated and managed by Greek company Evalend Shipping Co SA. Since Morocco brutally occupied Western Sahara in 1975, and took control over the territory's phosphate deposits, the Sahrawis working in the mines have mostly been replaced with Moroccans. Since then, Morocco has refused to cooperate on the UN process of liberating Western Sahara, which is treated by the UN as a question of decolonisation.

Australian Identity & Bible Nationalism PART 5 The spirit of the new age has been everyone for themselves. Many have chosen their own standards over discipline. Australias self-preservation has been rotted with the implementation of multiculturalism. Mere conservatism was not sufficient to withstand the rising liberalism, as was manifest in the 1960s. With the rapid decolonisation, and acceleration secularisation, there was an opening for increased social, mental and economic problems. Many major issues in recent times have been designed to destroy our economic, social and moral power.
Geopolitics of North and South *Through understanding the origins of the European World-Economy, we find that Europe and later the entirety of the Pan-European white society at its global zenith represented the "core" of the World-Economy, in what is a Core-Periphery relationship. Thus the World-Economy was forged in the policies of slavery, plunder, militaristic occupations and white supremacy, at the expense of the darker-skinned peoples of the world, who are now the great 85% of all mankind, oppressed. This is factual. It is seen through consultation with the totality of human society, and it is the highest-priority issue that we live with in this world, however seldom mentioned by the majority of the Corers *Our attention is on the Western European status-group which developed the original Core. This status-group took it upon itself to develop a system of production global in scope. Do not be fooled, as so many have been, into accepting decolonisation as the end of that status-group's grasp on the Peripheral societies. It only increased the physical distance between oppressors and oppressed. It only instigated a global de facto segregation, which persists to this day. The accomplishments of national liberation movements and revolutions all around the globe were to no avail. Such regimes only later became new kinds of slaves to serve their old oppressors. Again and again, the World-System is re-forged in the shape of oppression and global social injustice. *The Global South needs no definition apart ...
Balibo Five Movie Trailler In October 1975, five Australian-based journalists were sent by TV Channels 7 and 9 to investigate Indonesian military attacks against a newly decolonising East Timor. Malcolm Rennie, Brian Peters, Greg Shackleton, Tony Stewart, and Gary Cunningham were keen to cover what was then the biggest, emerging event in the region - acts of aggression by a military dictatorship against a democratising society, the collapse of the decolonisation process and the threat of invasion. After filming an attack on the border town of Balibo, the five unarmed journalists were murdered while surrendering to a force comprising 100 red beret Kopassandha (Special Forces secret warfare) troops led by a then-Captain Yunus Yosfiah.

New Caledonia awaits decolonisation A conference is being held by the United Nations Special Committee of 24 on decolonisation in New Caledonia, a French territory that is among the countries and territories on the UN list to be decolonised. The UN committee, responsible for studying the implementation of the declaration on the granting of independence to colonial countries and peoples, is more generally called the "Special Committee of 24". It oversaw the independence of the former Indonesian province of East Timor (Timor Leste). The number of remaining countries and territories to be decolonised has, therefore, dropped from 17 to 16. They include, in the Pacific, Tokelau (New Zealand), Pitcairn (United Kingdom) and New Caledonia (France). The decolonisation process of New Caledonia is enshrined in the Noumea Accord, signed in 1998 between pro-independence and pro-France parties. With a special focus on the notion of "common destiny", it provides guidelines for a gradual transfer of powers from France to local authorities, a power-sharing government and a possible referendum on self-determination between 2014 and 2018. New Caledonia has been on the UN decolonisation list since 1986, after independence-related unrest in the mid-1980s. As part of a special series on the world's remaining colonies, Al Jazeera's Harry Fawcett reports from the capital, Noumea, on New Caledonia's decolonisation process and its progress. [May, 18, 2010]

"The Socialist Alliance notes that Morocco invaded and illegally occupied Western Sahara in 1975. which led more than 165000 Saharawis to flee their homeland and seek refuge in South West Algeria for the past 35 years in dire conditions. We believe that Spain, as the de jure Administering Power in Western Sahara can play a positive role in assisting the Saharawi people achieve their inalienable right to self-determination and independence. The role that Portugal played in assisting East Timor achieve independence is a good example to follow. We are convinced that the only just, legal and lasting solution to the conflict in Western Sahara is to end the Moroccan illegal occupation and allow the Saharawi people to exercise their right to self-determination, in accordance with the UN decolonisation doctrine."

The Fabian Society exposed: A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing.mp4 "The Fabian Society is a British socialist movement, whose purpose is to advance the principles of Democratic socialism via gradualist and reformist, rather than revolutionary, means. It is best known for its initial ground-breaking work beginning late in the 19th century and continuing up to World War I. The society laid many of the foundations of the Labour Party and subsequently affected the policies of states emerging from the decolonisation of the British Empire, especially India. The emblem of the society is the proverbial wolf in sheep's clothing. Today, the society is a vanguard think tank of the New Labour movement. It is one of 15 socialist societies affiliated to the Labour Party. The group, which favoured gradual change rather than revolutionary change, was named -- at the suggestion of Frank Podmore -- in honour of the Roman general Quintus Fabius Maximus. His Fabian strategy advocated tactics of harassment and attrition rather than head-on battles. Immediately upon its inception, the Fabian Society began attracting many prominent contemporary figures drawn to its socialist cause, including George Bernard Shaw, HG Wells, Annie Besant, Graham Wallas, Hubert Bland, Edith Nesbit, Sydney Olivier, Oliver Lodge, Leonard Woolf and Virginia Woolf, Ramsay MacDonald and Emmeline Pankhurst. Even Bertrand Russell briefly became a member, but resigned after he expressed his belief that the Society's principle of entente (in this case, countries allying themselves against ...

Emily of Emerald Hill "Emily of Emerald Hill" tells the story of a Peranankan woman growing up in 1950s Singapore. Coming from a very unique cultural background, Emily ends up multi-tasking and taking on very different roles throughout the play and her lifetime.
