Clean sweep as 22nd Welsh council backs devolution of Crown Estate assets

With all 22 councils in Wales now calling for the devolution of our Crown Estate, what will it take for UK Labour to listen? Scotland gained control of its Crown Estate in 2017 and we want similar. Why not Wales. Do they deem us a lesser people? I think so. UK Labour rule has damaged Wales. If Welsh Labour have any backbone must demand its devolution now or call for a referendum to devolve not only the Crown Estate, our Criminal Justice & Youth system, Policing, power over rail infrastructure and other functions & levers unjustly denied only to Wales. So I suggest Eluned Morgan and Welsh Labour listen for once rather than kowtow to Whitehall. But if they capitulate, as done recently with the Tory/Labour HS2 & Oxford to Cambridge consequential England & Wales slur, suggest voters if they truly care about Wales and their family's future, remove them from government next May and vote in a majority Plaid Cymru Welsh Government led by Rhun ap Iorwerth as First Minister to fight for our national rights giving them a mandate for real change. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 #Ymlaen

Here's a more detailed look: 1. UN Recognition of Land Rights: The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) emphasizes the right of indigenous peoples to their lands and territories, including the right to self-determination. UN Special Rapporteurs, like James Anaya, have publicly called for the return of land stolen from indigenous peoples, citing its importance for reconciliation and healing. The UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (UNPFII) provides a platform for indigenous peoples to voice their concerns and advocate for their rights, including land rights. 2. The "Land Back" Movement: The "Land Back" movement, which emphasizes the return of stolen land to Indigenous peoples, is a growing force globally. This movement highlights the historical injustices of land dispossession and seeks to address the ongoing economic and social challenges faced by many Indigenous communities. Examples of "Land Back" initiatives include the return of land to tribes, the transfer of management of national parks to Indigenous groups, and community-led efforts to reclaim and protect ancestral lands. 3. Why Land Return is Important: Returning land can help redress historical wrongs and heal past traumas. Indigenous stewardship of land can contribute to environmental conservation and climate change mitigation. Land access is crucial for the economic well-being of many Indigenous communities, providing opportunities for sustainable livelihoods and self-determination. 4. Challenges and Opposition: Some governments and individuals oppose land return efforts, citing economic interests, concerns about property rights, and resistance to decolonization. "Land Back" initiatives can face legal and political hurdles, requiring significant efforts to overcome resistance and secure support. In Conclusion: While the UN has not formally adopted a specific "motion" to return land, it has consistently recognized the importance of Indigenous rights to land and the need for land restitution. The "Land Back" movement, supported by this UN recognition, is gaining momentum globally as a means of addressing historical injustices, promoting reconciliation, and fostering a more just and sustainable future for all.
