Definition English:

|
The rights of indigenous peoples are those rights that exist in recognition of the specific condition of the indigenous peoples. This includes not only the most basic human rights of physical survival and integrity, but also the preservation of their land, language, religion, and other elements of cultural heritage that are a part of their existence as a people. This can be used as an expression for advocacy of social organizations or form a part of the national law in establishing the relation between a government and the right of self-determination among the indigenous people living within its borders, or in international law as a protection against violation by actions of governments or groups of private interests. (From: United Nations Declaration on the rights of indigenous peoples. http://www.un.org/esa/socdev/unpfii/documents/DRIPS_en.pdf ; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indigenous_rights) |
