134 | Indigenous Peoples Propose Status Equal to Observer State

Today you will hear Mr. Leonard Imbiri present a joint-statement on behalf of  Saniri Alifuru, Dewan Adat Papua, and Saka Mese Nusa Alifuru at the OHCHR Expert Workshop on enhanced participation of Indigenous Peoples  representative institutions at the United Nations. He speaks about the limitations that Indigenous Peoples' representative institutions currently face in their participation in the work of the Human Rights Council and proposes an arrangement that would  give them the same participatory rights as Observer States to the HRC, including the ability to present resolutions, participate in debates and  dialogues, and submit written statements. Enjoy!
