Dear Friend,
The world is starting to think about life after the pandemic, but most or even all international meetings are still short and virtual. This also applies to the 14th session of the Expert Mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, confirmed from July 12 to 16, 2021. You can find its draft programme of work below. You might also like to take a look at the two new flagship UN reports in the "Recent publications" section of our newsletter.
Tomorrow, June 5, is world environment day: let's take care of it!
I wish you a pleasant reading,
Pascal
