Cordillera Peoples Alliance

Member since

Working towards these commitments

Respect and protect the inherent land and territorial rights of indigenous peoples, as set out in ILO Convention 169 and the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, including by recognizing that respect for indigenous knowledge and cultures contributes to sustainable and equitable development and proper management of the environment".
5

Secure territorial rights for Indigenous Peoples

Prevent and remedy land grabbing, respecting traditional land use rights and local livelihoods, and ensuring that all large-scale initiatives that involve the use of land, water and other natural resources comply with human rights and environmental obligations and are based on: the free, prior and informed consent of existing land users; a thorough assessment of economic, social, cultural and environmental impacts with respect to both women and men; democratic planning and independent oversight; and transparent contracts that respect labour rights, comply with social and fiscal obligations and are specific and binding on the sharing of responsibilities and benefits. Where adverse impacts on human rights and legitimate tenure rights have occurred, concerned actors should provide for, and cooperate in, impartial and competent mechanisms to provide remedy, including through land restitution and compensation.
9

Effective actions against land grabbing

Respect and protect the civil and political rights of human rights defenders working on land issues, combat the stigmatization and criminalisation of peaceful protest and land rights activism, and end impunity for human rights violations, including harassment, threats, violence and political imprisonment

Protected land rights defenders

Mission

The Cordillera Peoples Alliance envisions the establishment of an autonomous Cordillera region in which indigenous peoples can exercise their rights to ancestral domains and self determination, and create a just society within the framework of a truly sovereign and democratic Filipino nation. The CPA is committed to pursuing and promoting the human rights and fundamental freedoms of indigenous peoples and of all democratic sectors in the Cordillera region. It is especially committed to defending the ancestral domains of the indigenous peoples of the Cordillera against usurpation, protecting the resources in these domains against plunder, abuse, and destruction; striving for people’s equitable access to the said resources and to the benefits derived from their utilization; and fighting for the Cordillera peoples’ self determination.

Objectives

The CPA aims to inform and educate, organize and mobilize indigenous communities and democratic sectors in the Cordillera region for common actions in ancestral land and environmental defense, the advancement of peasants and workers rights to the means and gains of production, the advancement of other legitimate sectoral interests, and the assertion of the right of indigenous peoples to freely determine and pursue their own development. The CPA also aims to draw political and material support for these actions from the wider Filipino and international public. 

Constituencies

The Cordillera Peoples Alliance works mainly in the Cordillera region, northern Philippines. The CPA also actively promotes indigenous peoples' rights in the Philippines by being a member of the KATRIBU National Alliance of Indigenous Peoples in the Philippines and by being part of its leadership body. The CPA does organizing among indigenous communities, informing and educating the wider public on indigenous peoples’ issues, mobilizing indigenous groups for collective actions, conducting research on various issues and concerns, mediating inter-tribal conflicts, promoting indigenous peoples’ rights in cultural forms, building solidarity with indigenous peoples and advocates around the world, and providing socio-economic services in coordination with non-governmental organizations.
