permanent forum on Indigenous issues

The Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues is a United Nations body established to raise awareness, discuss, and promote solutions for challenges faced by Indigenous peoples worldwide. It provides a platform for Indigenous representatives to share their experiences, voice concerns, and influence policies on issues like rights, development, and cultural preservation. The forum aims to foster respectful dialogue between Indigenous communities and governments, ensuring their issues are recognized in global discussions. It does not make binding laws but serves as an influential advisory body to guide international action and support Indigenous rights and well-being.
