UNITED NATIONS, New York. – Experts on human rights from the United Nations demanded this Monday the end of discrimination against originators, on the agenda of the International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples.
In a statement for the day held every August 9, the experts urged the States to do more to protect those communities and liberate them from exclusion.
Victoria Tauli-Corpuz, Special Rapporteur for the rights of indigenous peoples, the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Affairs and the Mechanism of Experts on the rights of indigenous peoples signed the complaint.
Ten years have passed since the United Nations Declaration on the rights of Indigenous Peoples, adopted by the General Assembly, but the challenges remain present and according to the experts, in many cases the natives face more rapes and abuses than a decade ago.
