Este documento propone un marco de antecedentes que permita contribuir al seguimiento de las acciones y propuestas emanadas del proceso que llevó a la Conferencia de Durban en Sudáfrica. Para ello se reúnen antecedentes respecto de los procesos en que se inscribe la Conferencia de Santiago + 5, en especial la evolución de los acuerdos y tratados que en el sistema de Naciones Unidas han marcado la dinámica de reconocimiento de la situación y los derechos de las minorías étnicas y raciales. También se sintetizan los antecedentes históricos relativos a la discriminación racial y étnica en el ámbito global y regional, con énfasis en las condiciones de negación, discriminación, exclusión y falta de ciudadanía efectiva que han padecido secularmente las mencionadas minorías.

"cross the spectrum of political ideologies there is, in principle, widespread agreement that the state has a legitimate role in protecting children from harm. Even the Nobel Prize winning economist Milton Friedman (1962), among the most ardent liberal supporters of the laissez faire philosophy, recognized this "paternalistic" function of government. At the same time, the traditional view of children, that they are the property of the father (pater) or the parents, is under pressure (Zelizer, 1994; James & Prout, 1997; Archard 2004). Societies are at an intersection when it comes to how children are treated and how their rights are respected, which creates tensions in the traditional relationship between the family and the state. Children are a focus of government responsibility under certain state-defined norms relating to harm and need.

In the rich tradition of mobile communication studies and new media, this volume examines how mobile technologies are being embraced by Indigenous people all over the world. As mobile phones have revolutionised society both in developed and developing countries, so Indigenous people are using mobile devices to bring their communities into the twenty-first century. The explosion of mobile devices and applications in Indigenous communities addresses issues of isolation and building an environment for the learning and sharing of knowledge, providing support for cultural and language revitalisation, and offering the means for social and economic renewal. This book explores how mobile technologies are overcoming disadvantage and the tyrannies of distance, allowing benefits to flow directly to Indigenous people and bringing wide-ranging changes to their lives. It begins with general issues and theoretical perspectives followed by empirical case studies that include the establishment of Indigenous mobile networks and practices, mobile technologies for social change and, finally, the ways in which mobile technology is being used to sustain Indigenous culture and language.
