La Conférence mondial sur les peuples autochtones est une session spéciale de l'Assemblée générale qui se concentrera spécifiquement sur les droits des peuples autochtones.

Les peuples autochtones ont le droit de vivre selon leur vision du monde, leurs principes et leurs croyances. Ils ont la souveraineté sur leur terre, leur nourriture,  leur eau et leurs ressources.

Indigenous communities need to work with States to develop mechanisms that prevent violence against women. 

Les États devraient travailler avec les communautés autochtones afin d'assurer que les lois nationales reflètent les droits des peuples autochtones tels qu'énoncés dans la Déclaration des Nations unies sur les droits des peuples autochtones. 

Les droits des peuples autochtones doivent être adoptées pleinement ; de plus, il est nécessaire d’avoir des mécanismes qui surveillent et examinent la mise en œuvre de ces droits pour assurer que les États sont en conformité avec le droit international.

Le droit au consentement libre, préalable et éclairé signifie que les peuples autochtones sont en mesure d'utiliser leurs terres et leurs ressources comme ils le souhaitent, et qu'ils sont inclus dans tout processus de consultation pour n’importe quel projet de développement proposé sur leurs terres.

Le statut d'observateur permanent pour les peuples autochtones signifierait que les peuples autochtones pourraient avoir une participation directe à travers leurs propres gouvernements et conseils.

Les peuples autochtones ont le droit d'établir leurs propres systèmes d'éducation et de connaissances afin d'enseigner précisément aux générations futures leur histoire, leurs valeurs, leurs croyances et langues.

Les États devraient travailler avec les communautés autochtones pour mettre en œuvre des initiatives sur le changement climatique qui protègent la terre et les ressources des peuples autochtones, à travers une approche basée sur l'écosystème et les garanties exécutoires.

In Tanzania, the Indigenous Maasai people have been facing displacement for a long time.
The most recent incident of land loss involves large numbers of Maasai peoples being forced to leave their ancestral homes to make way for a game reserve. The adverse effects of losing land will be felt for a long time. In this radio program, we uncover some reasons why Indigenous Peoples worldwide face extreme poverty.

Vicky Tauli-Corpuz, UN Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, says she has found an inadequate process of consultation with Indigenous communities on the part of the national government during her visit to Honduras, where she was recently invited for a working visit to comment on a draft of a law regulating Free, Prior and Informed Consent. Indigenous Hondurans do not feel that they were adequately consulted on the content of the law. Further, the law does not meet widely accepted international standards of F.P.I.C.

In many Indigenous communities, dual justice systems operate in tandem: the European system, a colonial imposition characterized by hierarchical, punitive, written codicies, and the Indigenous system, which is often based in tradition and holistic in nature.

Human Rights Lawyer Michelle Cook (Dine') elaborates on the interactions between these two systems, and explains how communities can use the language of human rights to challenge the colonial legal system imposition in order to gain a seat at the table as independent nations with internationally recognized justice systems.

Indigenous Rights Radio Producer Avexnim Cojtí Ren investigates the movement to repatriate sacred objects, remains, and cultural patrimony taken without consent from Indigenous Peoples by governments, collectors, and individuals. Concepts of ownership, histories of oppression, methods of legal recourse, and recent examples of repatriation attempts all play an important role in the prospects for the return of heritage items to Indigenous Peoples.
