While this breach of human rights applies to the whole community the Barngarla can additionally claim that their human rights were breached and that the mandate created to overcome the discriminatory conduct towards them covering implementing international standards concerning the rights of indigenous peoples; making recommendations and proposals on appropriate measures to prevent and remedy violations of the rights of indigenous peoples; reporting on the human rights situations of indigenous peoples around the world; and addressing specific cases of alleged violations of indigenous peoples' rights. Francisco Cali Tzay is the current mandate holder as Special Rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples  The mandate on hazardous substances and wastes  relates to the exposure of people to a myriad of harmful substances without their prior informed consent which is a human right that can be satisfactorily solved if identified in its early stages Dr Marcos A. Orellana is the current mandate holder as Special Rapporteur on toxics and wastes as human rights  Nuclear waste is considered a highly toxic and dangerous material which it is acknowledged requires geological burial for long term storage and disposal which is not the case at Kimba This free site is ad-supported.
