Another demand of the HSA is that the government in any development plans in the region in which the domicile of indigenous peoples, should not ignore the principle of persetujan on the basis of prior and informed (prior and) as an instrument in international law to protect the rights of the people or communities potentially affected by the influence of a development project.
"Recently we ask that all forms of intimidation to the indigenous peoples Seko Padang, whether it is done by the government, companies and the police, immediately stopped," Asmar added.
Sardi Razak, Chairman of BPH Indigenous Peoples Alliance of the Archipelago (AMAN) of South Sulawesi, concerned about the existence of such investment would threaten the existence of indigenous peoples Seko, including the destruction of historic indigenous sites in the area that became the concession companies.
"We envision when there is a plan of extractive industries and infrastructure investment, there are 12 villages and 3 major territories of indigenous peoples Seko would lose its identity. All the ancestral form of the historic sites will be destroyed. So also with the customary rituals that have been regularly performed in threatened forests halted due to the loss of forests as a spiritual space for them, "he added.
Sardi assess forceful measures pengambilahan indigenous territories is an obvious violation of the constitution, because the international, national and regional alone, there has been a clear recognition related to the presence of indigenous peoples, including those in Seko itself.
Mastery concession area entry / HGU mining and hydropower development plan that will automatically eliminate the rights of Indigenous Peoples management area Seko postscript has received recognition from the North Luwu regency through SK Bupati.
"In a number of international conventions, to which Indonesia is among countries that participate ratified, the indigenous peoples have been recognized. In North Luwu itself has no Luwu Utara Bupati Decree No.300 of 2004 on the Recognition of Indigenous Peoples Seko and Regulation No. 12 of 2004 concerning Preservation of Traditional Institutions in North Luwu, "he said.
Sardi also regret the imposition of the investment and development of this infrastructure without socialization and clear dialogue to the community, and impress even covered up. It deems violate the principle of prior and which confirms the existence of indigenous peoples' rights to determine what forms of activity that they want on their territory.
"People in general do not ever get a detailed and transparent information about the impact that would be caused if the mining company operates. Even before obtaining an exploration permit, the public until now has not been notified or asked for consent related to the exploration license. New residents know after the company put up signs EIA preparation. "
Culturally, Sardi worried there would be changes in the social order of a society that promotes community togetherness and mutual cooperation be individualistic and materialistic.
Even further feared could happen social conflicts between communities for their pro and cons of the existence of a variety of such investments.
"This will have an impact on the erosion of indigenous knowledge and culture of Indigenous Peoples Seko."
The impact will be felt Seko society apart culturally as well as socially economy. Sources of income people who have come from forests, fields, orchards, grazing, and the catch from the rivers threatened by sewage.
According Nasrun, Deputy Coordinator KontraS Sulawesi, based on available data, there are currently 10 mining companies that received permission from the Regent Lutra exploration since 2011, of which 6 are located in an area of 121,390.22 hectares Seko Subdistrict (HGU Map - Map Digitizing Results WIUP ) or based on data Map WIUP reached 90.937 hectares.
Not only mine, in the region there are currently too Seko HGU permits Plantation (PT. Seko of Dawn) and hydropower development plan that will be built by PT. Seko Power Prima and PT. Seko Power Prada.
Nasrun also cites reports of cases of extortion by residents to the company. Yet what do the citizens is not blackmail, but the traditional mechanisms that have existed since the first, so-called customary fine. Applied to individuals or certain parties are considered to be in violation of customs rules, either verbally or in action.
"Reporting this blackmail is a form of criminalization aimed at weakening the struggle of indigenous peoples Seko. This will be the entrance to massive investment into this area. And when all the investments it makes it automated the entire community is in it will be expelled from their management area. Merela be branded not pro investment and development. At the same time, their rights are increasingly neglected. "
Word of the Legal Aid Institute (LBH) in Makassar, adding that what happened today is a real constitutional crisis that would threaten indigenous peoples eksistem Seko, and is similar to the practice of implementation in the New Order.
"This practice still continues where the state in a structured and systematic, on behalf of the construction company to neglect the rights of citizens and raises the number of victims of development," he said.
Word further even accused of a deliberate intention of the government to eliminate the identity of indigenous Seko, by the decision of the Supreme Court some time ago, which is in favor of the company.
"On the one hand say their board Seko rights of citizens on the territory they occupy, but on the other hand states also grant management rights to nine companies that will invest there. This explains their mortgage effort to ignore the constitutional rights of citizens Seko. "
