Norway must get rid of the ILO Convention
In my opinion, the Sami are not indigenous people in Norway, there is no documentation on it. Others were here long before. It shows the findings after the Komsa people. Among other things, found in Komsafjøre, but not least all the rock carvings that are between 2000 and 5000 years old. Traces of the first Sami are only between 600 and 700 years old.
When Norway ratified the ILO Convention no. 169 on indigenous peoples' rights as the first country in Storting decisions on June 20, 1990, we in my opinion opened the country open to the Sami veto right. They can appeal Norway to international courts for human rights violations and indigenous rights.
Had we not accepted the convention, the judgment of the wind turbines at Fosen would have had a different outcome. But now the Supreme Court had to take into account that we have passed the Convention.
The majority of the Sami Parliament is governed by the NSR (Norwegian Samers Riksforbund), which in my opinion has as to establish its own state. They show that on any occasion. They have worked to get ownership in Finnmark through several litigation, and have previously demanded revenues from the petroleum industry.
Recently, it was also suggested that salmon fishing in rivers is a Sami right. Maybe they try to bring the fishing rights in the Alta River before international courts. Who knows?
The Norwegian state has long struggled to save the settlement in Finnmark. But neither the repayment of student debt nor increased child benefit helps anything. No wonder perhaps, when the neighborhood is characterized by requirements for special rights, rather than thinking of equal treatment.
Recently, an action plan against bullying of Sami was presented. Well and good, because bullying is some pig. But I think it would have been wise to look a little more carefully at why bullying escalates, namely the attempts to create differences between people.
Protests and new requirements lead to increased sparks. As to refuse Hammerfest municipality permission to build a walkway for school children on Forsølveien. Protests against the improvement of a cabin in the established cabin area in Bollo are another example. Likewise all the protests reindeer husbandry has to do with the intervention in the terrain.
