Analysis of the Film 'No Gold for Kalsaka' in terms of The Right to Economic Self-Determination

Abstract

Colonialism activities in Africa have now turned into an economic exploitation system by multinational companies rather than the use of occupy and power as in past. Recent case in Kalsaka which has gold mine deposits in Burkina Faso, is a concrete instance of this. The people of Kalsaka suffer greatly because of unfair interventions in their natural resources. The film ‘No Gold for Kalsaka’ is a motion picture that pans over its camera to these grievances and that carries happenings in Kalsaka to the screen. When entered through the door that the film opens by considering the public opinion it creates, the legal perspective on the subject takes shape. In that sense, one of the legal norms that can be applied against unlawful treatments in Kalsaka is the right to economic self-determination. This as a human right, ensure the permanent sovereignty of the people of Kalsaka over their natural resources, may come to the fore in face of the actions they are subjected to. In this context, steps can be taken to compensate the damages of the Kalsaka people based on the authority given by this right which includes the rights to own, use and benefit from natural resources.
