Indigenous People's Rights

Indigenous People's Rights refer to the recognition and protection of the unique cultures, traditions, and lands of Indigenous communities. These rights affirm that Indigenous peoples have the inherent authority to govern themselves, control their resources, and maintain their cultural practices. International frameworks, like the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, emphasize the importance of participation, self-determination, and respect for their rights in decisions affecting their lives and territories. Ensuring these rights is essential for justice, cultural preservation, and addressing historical injustices faced by Indigenous communities worldwide.
