130 | What Indigenous Governments Can Do At The United Nations @ Virtual Dialogue of ICB

Indigenous Peoples' participation in UN mechanisms: speak up, submit written statements, and claim your seat. But beware of one rep per region, state interference, and ECOSOC status. In this episode of the podcast, I'll be discussing the modalities under which Indigenous Peoples participate in United Nations mechanisms. During the virtual dialogue organized by the Indigenous Coordinating Body, we explored the current situation where Indigenous Peoples are allowed to participate only as NGOs with ECOSOC status and  the goal of creating a new status for representative institutions to attend meetings such as the General Assembly and Human Rights Council. Enjoy!
