Working Group on Indigenous Peoples

The Working Group on Indigenous Peoples is a part of the United Nations that aims to improve the rights and well-being of Indigenous communities worldwide. It brings together Indigenous representatives, governments, and experts to discuss issues like land rights, culture, health, and self-determination. The group’s goal is to promote respect, recognition, and protection of Indigenous peoples’ unique identities and rights within international frameworks, fostering dialogue and developing recommendations for policies that support their development and empowerment.
