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

The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) is a landmark international document adopted in 2007 that outlines the rights of Indigenous peoples worldwide. It recognizes their rights to self-determination, cultural practice, land, resources, and participation in decision-making. UNDRIP emphasizes the importance of preserving Indigenous languages and traditions, promoting equality, and protecting their identities. It aims to rectify historical injustices and ensure that Indigenous voices are heard and respected in global discussions, ultimately fostering better relationships between Indigenous peoples and states.
