The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples
The world's first internationally recognised act of self-determination is the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. Developed by Indigenous Peoples, it establishes a universal framework of minimum standards for Indigenous Peoples' survival, dignity and wellbeing. At its core it acknowledges the inherent right to self-determination – the right to pursue First Peoples’ own vision of economic, social and cultural development. On the 17th anniversary of the Declaration's signing, we are proud to reflect that it, along with community, is at the heart of our truth-telling work at Yoorrook.
