*Abstract Panel*

Scholarship on mobile pastoralism has steadily explicated the forms of
discrimination faced by mobile peoples globally. Representatives of Mobile
Indigenous Peoples from around the world outlined ongoing rights violations
and challenges they face during the 2022 Dana+20 meeting in Jordan. These
include land fragmentation, exclusionary forms of development, forced
sedentarization, involuntary resettlement and evictions, and cultural loss.
These threats are exacerbated by the ongoing impacts of climate change on
mobile livelihoods. The UN Declaration on the rights of Indigenous Peoples
represents the minimum standards for states to uphold the rights of
Indigenous Peoples. In many regions states are failing to implement the
Declaration to ensure the physical and cultural survival, dignity and
well-being of Mobile Indigenous Peoples. In recent decades, many have been
prevented from practicing the forms of mobility upon which their
livelihoods and social systems are based. In some cases, Mobile Indigenous
Peoples have been criminalized for practicing their traditional mobile ways
of life and face discrimination from government institutions and the wider
society.

The Special Rapporteur on the rights of Indigenous Peoples at the United
Nations presented thematic report on the situation of Mobile Indigenous
Peoples at the General Assembly in October 2024. We suggest that success of
the International Year of Rangelands and pastoralism (IYRP in 2026) depends
on a commitment to including pastoralists in high-level meetings organised
as part of the IYRP, and an endorsing of the principles of UNDRIP as the
minimum standards of rights for Mobile Indigenous Peoples, including a
right to practice mobile life-ways and support for their cultural, social
and political rights.

Next to international declarations and advocacy, it is important to
(re)think how to guarantee that mobile pastoralists and mobile indigenous
peoples are directly and fairly represented on different levels. This panel
aims to discuss:

   - how to support improvement of implementation of international legal
   support frames for the rights of mobile pastoralists and mobile indigenous
   peoples
   - how to insure mobile pastoralists and mobile indigenous peoples are
   represented directly on different levels of decision making (form very
   local with all its diversity, to regional, state and international)

The panel will explore current activist scholarship and case studies
focusing on the rights of mobile pastoralists and nomadic peoples by
examining the opportunities and limitations of IYRP as well as other
opportunities and constraints in (in)direct representing of mobile
pastoralists
