UN finds Finland violated political rights of indigenous Sámi people

  1. As a Chinese, I would like to ask: There are hundreds of millions of people in China who have no political rights. Can the United Nations also make a statement?

  2. “Sámi people in Finland think they alone should be able to decide who is Sámi (and who is not).”

    I guess. But why I remember there was some bigger arguments about this?

  3. >”It’s a really important decision because it shows that the Sámi Parliament is right to say we have self-determination, and we have the possibility to determine who are part of the Sámi people and thus who are eligible to vote in the elections,” Nuorgam told Euronews. 

    That’s not very multicultural of you guys

  4. Miisa Nuorgam talking about Sami stuff feels the same as Elizabeth Warren talking about Native American stuff.

    Millionaire social media influencers and media people born and living in Southern Finland making as much noise as they can to keep themselves in the limelight. What a joke.

  5. >indigenous

    This implies the Sámi were inhabiting Scandinavia before “white people”, they were not. The Scandinavians are the indigenous people of northern Europe. This doesn’t imply the crimes that were committed against the Sámi is excusable though, but there’s important distinctions to be made in the rhetoric of such statements.

  6. why point out that the sami are indigenous? Are the fins not? Did I miss a thing? or is that a exotic political term for a native minority

  7. Aren’t all Finnish people indigenous ? What’s the deal with Eurasian nomads who settled into Finland being called indigenous , vs Nordic Europeans ?

  8. I feel like the UN security block needs splitting into separate sections which would ultimately cause an alarm. A varied biddies of large, small, more powerful and less powerful… Somehow balance them.

    Imagine that a larger percentage of these biddies would rule against it and China, if they couldn’t block them.

    Though it simply could mean : add a lot of members and make a rule that the Ruled on/Alarmed over nations vote either wouldn’t count directly (could be considered -imagine an agreement on your self might have some diplomatic sequence (government alarming over some rebels ext.).

    Or if more members then a total percentage of vote?
