        RESOLUTION SUPPORTING LIBYAN ARAB PEOPLES JAMAHIRIYA
        ----------------------------------------------------

                  CONDEMNING GENOCIDAL UN SANCTIONS
                 -----------------------------------

 (Lakota hosts, guests Tlingit Nation, Huron, Azteca, Mexica, Zapoteca,
 Aleut, Cherokee, Shuswap, Stoney, Cheyenne - official Delegates to UN
 Committee on Human Rights Abuses - Rudy James, Chairman)

Whereas,
               The peaceful and sovereign Nation of Libya, known as the
Libyan Arab Peoples Jamahiriya, is suffering GENOCIDAL destruction and
death at the hands of the United States-backed UNITED NATIONS,

               Essential medical supplies and Food are being denied to
the innocent and peaceful People of Libya, in North Africa, denying
them basic Human Rights according to the Genocide Convention,

               Necessary air transportation is being denied to the
Libyan People in and out of their country, as reported by many
international human rights organizations, and the Arab League,
Non-Aligned Movement, Organization of African Unity, and the Islamic
Conferences, and many other confederations and member nations of the
UN and UNPO, threatening further direct loss of life to critical
patients and medical supplies (see attached 5-page fact sheet on the
Impact of the UN Sanctions, including documentation from the UN's own
Report of the Secretary-General on the Humanitarian consequences -
Health and Social Welfare; Economic consequences - Agricultural and
Animal Husbandry, Transport and Communications, Industry and mining,
Finance and trade, and Energy - Petroleum and Electricty) [attachment
provided upon request to Oglala@hotmail.com],

         A minimum of $20 billion of necessary life-sustaining income
has been denied to the Libyan People since 1992, when sanctions were
imposed,

         The United States, United Kingdom, and UNITED NATIONS have
imposed these genocidal and arbitrary, illegal measures on Libya
knowing full well who the true perpetrators are of the tragic bombing
in 1988 of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, which has been
used as a political and religious pretext to punish the sovereign and
independent Libyan People,

         The International Court of Justice in The Hague, Netherlands
ruled on February 27, 1998 that the US and the UK have no legal right
to impose sanctions on Libya,

         These sanctions are the same as the ongoing Genocide of 506
years against the sovereign Indigenous Nations of the American
hemisphere - known worldwide among the non-aligned and indigenous
nations as THE AMERICAN HOLOCAUST,

         
Therefore,
                Let it be RESOLVED that the undersigned Delegates and
Heads of State of many Indigenous Nations support the Civil Rights of
the Libyan People to worship ALLAH in their own way, and to manage
their own sovereignty and resources with freedom and dignity,   

                That a Delegation of 10 Chiefs will go to Geneva and
Tripoli, with several news crews, to investigate and document the
grievances submitted by Libya regarding Security Council resolutions
748 (1992) and 883 (1993),

                And that if proven true, we will Condemn the murderous
Sanctions killing many Libyan People, who are our brothers and sisters.
