Two New Resources From the Coalition!
Indigenous Peoples and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals
The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and the UN Sustainable Development Goals
The Coalition
The Coalition for the Human Rights of Indigenous Peoples promotes the full and effective implementation of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. We urge that:
Governments, in conjunction with Indigenous Peoples, use the Declaration as the basis for reviewing and reforming laws and policies to ensure that Indigenous Peoples’ rights are upheld without discrimination. A legislative approach to implementation ensures the ongoing commitment to the Declaration.
Courts and human rights tribunals use the Declaration as a relevant and persuasive source in interpreting Indigenous human rights and related state obligations.
