Summary Note 17 (December 2024)
This Summary presents the discussions held during the 23rd session of the UNPFII, April 15 to 26, 2024.
To be a Docip volunteer involves putting one’s skills at the service of indigenous delegates during their participation in the UN arena.
Docip has the pleasure to share with you our last publication of this year, the nº113 of our Update.
This new edition of the Update presents in the Focus section the different discussions held on the topic of the criminalization of indigenous peoples’ rights defenders, along with some useful links and tools that can be used in such cases. Ongoing Processes give an overview of the other important issues currently making a difference in the international arena, such as indigenous women’s rights, indigenous migration and finally the very important role of the WIPO IGC discussions on elaborating a legally binding instrument on indigenous traditional knowledge.
Latest News recall the main happenings during the last United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues as well as those of the Expert Mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. It also entails the Regional News , which introduce some information from the Pacific, the Arctic and North America regions.
Last but not least, this Update reminds the main conferences for 2019 with the deadlines and dates and country revisions for the treaty bodies. Docip team closes this edition by presenting our services.
As usual, many thanks to the team for their collaboration on this issue: Ms. Mary Holihan (proof reading), Ms Leyla Babayeva and Ivan Gorovenko (translation in Russian), M. Diego Guzmán (translation in Spanish), Ms. Clémence Berger (translation in French), Ms. Martine Musy (layout) and Mr. Jo Morten Kaaven (volunteer).
