UNDRIP (United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples)

The UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) is a global document that affirms the rights of Indigenous peoples worldwide. It recognizes their right to maintain their identities, cultures, languages, and traditions, and to control their lands and resources. UNDRIP promotes respect and non-discrimination, encouraging governments to collaborate with Indigenous communities in decision-making processes affecting them. While it is not legally binding, it serves as an important international standard to support Indigenous rights, help rectify historical injustices, and foster respectful relationships between States and Indigenous peoples.
