For information on Australian Human Rights Commission resources on the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, see www.humanrights...
'It is using the Declaration that breathes life into it.'
As an international instrument, the Declaration provides a blueprint for Indigenous peoples and governments around the world, based on the principles of self-determination and participation, to respect the rights and roles of Indigenous peoples within society. It is the instrument that contains the minimum standards for the survival, dignity and well-being of Indigenous peoples all over the world
