Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples

The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples was adopted by General Assembly Resolution 61/295 on 13th September 2007. The Declaration, which took twenty years to negotiate, sets out rights and principles to guide Nations to ensure the rights of Indigenous Peoples are protected.
