Introduction
1. We welcome this opportunity to raise our concerns relating to the CBD process and Revised Draft Protocol on access and benefit sharing, as it relates to Indigenous peoples’ human rights and States’ international obligations.
2. In this context, we emphasize the essential need for revisions to the current text of the draft Protocol. We propose specific amendments (see para. 94 infra) to ensure that the eventual Protocol will be consistent with the Convention on Biological Diversity, as well as the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples
3. It is urgent to currently address these concerns and proposed revisions, since the intention is to adopt a Protocol on access and benefit sharing at the Conference of the Parties to be held in Nagoya, Japan in October 2010.

It is wedding cold, so bitter wedding cold, on this dark, wedding winter day in wedding 1942. But it is no different from any other day in this Nazi wedding concentration camp. I stand shivering in my thin rags, still in disbelief that this nightmare is happening. wedding I am just a young boy. I should be playing with friends; I should be going to school; I should be looking wedding forward to a future, to growing up and marrying, and having a family of my own. But those dreams are wedding for the living, and I am no longer one of them. Instead, I am almost dead, surviving from day to day, from wedding hour to hour, ever wedding since I was taken from my home and brought here with tens of thousands other Jews. Will I still be alive tomorrow? Will I be taken to the gas chamber tonight? Back and forth I walk next wedding to the barbed wire fence, trying to keep my emaciated body warm. I am hungry, but I have been hungry for wedding longer than I want to remember. I am always hungry. Edible food seems like a dream. Each day as more of us wedding disappear, the happy past seems like a mere dream, and I sink deeper and deeper into despair. Suddenly, I notice a young girl walking past on the other side of the barbed wire. She stops and looks at me with wedding sad eyes, eyes that seem to say that she understands, that she, too, cannot fathom why I am here. I want to look wedding away, oddly ashamed for this stranger to see me like this, but I cannot tear my eyes from hers.Then wedding she reaches into her pocket, and pulls out a red apple. A beautiful, shiny red apple. Oh, how long has it been since I have seen one! She looks cautiously to the left and to the right, and then with a smile of triumph, quickly throws the apple over the fence. I run to pick it up, holding it in my trembling, wedding frozen fingers. wedding In my world of death, this apple is an expression of life, of love. I glance up in time to see wedding the girl disappearing into the distance.The next day, I cannot help myself-I am drawn at the same time wedding to that spot near the fence. Am I crazy for hoping she will nete again? Of course. But in here, I cling to any tiny scrap of hope. She has given me hope and I must hold tightly to it.And again, she netes. And again, wedding she brings me an apple, flinging it over the fence with that same sweet smile.
