UN Declarations

The Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples is a human rights instrument passed by the UN in 2007 on the rights of Indigenous Peoples around the world. It is also known as UNDRIP.

It contains 46 articles that affirm and set out a broad range of rights to protect Indigenous people and to contribute to survival, dignity and well-being. These include rights to lands, territories and resources, the environment. In 2016, the Government of Canada endorsed the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and in December 2020, the Government of Canada introduced legislation to implement the Declaration.
