United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues

The United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (UNPFII) is a key UN body established in 2000 to address the rights and concerns of Indigenous peoples worldwide. It brings together Indigenous representatives, UN member states, and experts to discuss issues like cultural preservation, economic development, and environmental protection. The Forum aims to raise awareness and promote the rights of Indigenous communities within the UN system, ensuring that their voices are heard in global discussions on human rights, sustainable development, and social justice. Ultimately, it seeks to empower Indigenous peoples and enhance their participation in decision-making processes.
