The 10th Session of the Expert Mechanism on the Right of Indigenous People’s (EMRIP) took place at the United Nations Office at Geneva, from 10 July to 14 July. Representatives from States, indigenous people, indigenous peoples’ organisations, civil society, and inter-governmental organisations participated at this meeting.
Despite recent advances on the rights of indigenous people there remains a lot that needs to be done. Geneva International Centre for Justice (GICJ) is well aware of the various dire situations that indigenous people face across the globe, and therefore, supports the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People (UNDRIP) and calls for its full implementation.
