Quotes
James Anaya, Special Rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples, highlighted the importance of the UN WCIP: “I see the World Conference as providing four major important opportunities. First, it can contribute to the development of new measures for the direct participation of indigenous peoples in United Nations meetings; second, it can help to advance greater and more concerted efforts within the United Nations system to promote the rights of indigenous peoples; third, it can assist in promoting action at the national and local levels to secure the realization of indigenous peoples’ rights; and finally, it can be a opportunity for celebrating indigenous peoples and their contributions worldwide.” (James Anaya, Special Rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples, July 8, 2013)
